Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a bit of a flat, washed-out picture for our stretch of coast. We’re not seeing any real standouts, so if you were dreaming of scoring, you might want to temper those expectations. The winds have been messy, mostly cross-onshore, and the swell’s just not doing us any favors. It’s one of those periods where the ocean looks better for a swim than a paddle.

The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is about 1°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s pretty standard for the season.

We’re starting off weak and messy. On Sunday the 9th, there’s a tiny 2ft easterly windswell with a short 4-second period, but it’s accompanied by a cross-onshore breeze and flat, choppy conditions. The energy is weak, at 28. This is not surfable. Monday the 10th isn't any better—similar small swell, but the wind is cross-shore and it’s still chopped up. Forget it.

Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are still poor. The swell drops to 1ft to 1ft and the winds are cross-onshore, keeping things bumpy. The energy is still weak, under 50. Just don’t bother.

Thursday the 13th through to Sunday the 16th, there's a little more push in the water, but it's all still pretty junky. The swell comes up a bit, getting to 3ft by Sunday the 16th, and we finally see a longer-period swell arrive, up to 12 seconds on the 16th morning, with energy climbing into the 200s. But the wind is still cross-onshore (save for a brief cross-shore window on the 16th morning) which is going to keep it lumpy and hard to ride. Still, that Sunday morning might be the most promising of the first week, but it's a long shot.

The second week, from the 17th onward, is looking a little more of the same, with more moderate cross-onshore winds and messy conditions. There’s a slight bump in energy around the 18th and 19th, but the swell is still under 3ft and the wind doesn't clean up. By the 22nd and 23rd, we’re back down to almost nothing.

Bottom line: There are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window. This is just how it goes around here sometimes—a long stretch of blown-out and small waves. Honestly, with the onshore winds and chop, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most of these days. The forecast can change, but for now, I’d say keep the board in the car and don’t get your hopes up.

Rusty out.
