The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. For the next 16 days, Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) is a tough beat. The wind is locked in from the east and southeast, blowing cross to cross-onshore, which means we’re looking at a lot of chop and bumpy conditions. The swell is small and weak, barely creeping over 3 ft for most of the run, and the combined energy is low, usually under 150 (moderate energy at best on a few days). The water temp is sitting right around 83°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We start off on Thursday, 16 July, with a risk of thunderstorms, a 2 ft swell from the NE at a short 7 seconds, and a cross breeze. Not good. Friday is flat and windy, with a mere 2 ft and 12 mph onshore wind. That’s a write-off. Saturday and Sunday bring a little more energy, but still tiny, messy, and poor. The whole first week is a washout – no decent surf at all.
The only interest comes in the second week, around Saturday, 25 July. The swell bumps up to 4 ft to 4 ft from the NE at 8 seconds, with combined energy hitting 300 (moderate wave energy) on Saturday afternoon. That’s the biggest energy we see in the whole window. The wind is lighter from the east at 6-9 mph, but it’s still cross-onshore, so expect some chop. The wave period is short, so it’ll be a bit weak and bumpy. This is the best on offer, but it’s not a standout – just the least bad day.
For the rest of the run, it’s the same story: small, wind-affected, poor surf. The swell direction from the NE is decent for the spot, but the short period and constant onshore wind ruin it. This is a blank run, and for an exposed spot like this, it’s not unusual – the region can go quiet for days. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest.
Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
