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

Right, listen up, it’s Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got nothing worth paddling out for until Wednesday morning, the 8th of July. Before that, it’s just a mess of onshore wind and weak, choppy waves. So, we’re looking at a gap of a few days with zero to offer.

The only break in the game is Anse de Rémire (L'apcat). It’s an exposed spot, always packed, and needs the swell to come from the northeast to line up right. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

Let’s walk through it. Wednesday morning, 8th July is the first glimmer of hope. We’ve got clean waves, thanks to a light cross-offshore breeze. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the northeast, with a short period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (140). It’s surfable, but you’ll be fighting for scraps with the crowd. That’s your best bet in the whole forecast, and I’m not saying it’s epic.

After that, it’s all downhill. From Thursday the 9th onwards, the wind swings cross-onshore and stays there. The swell sticks around 2-3 ft to 5 ft, but the chop and onshore breeze make it a write-off. A few mornings, like the 10th and 11th, have lighter wind, but the wave quality is still “poor.” The combined energy jumps up to 411 on Thursday morning, but with that messy cross-onshore wind, it’s just a big, lumpy ocean – more for the kites than us.

The second week, from about the 13th through the 20th of July, is a flat, forgettable run. Tiny swell, 1-2 ft to 2-3 ft, same short period, and constant cross-onshore wind. There’s nothing to get excited about.

To be honest, if you don’t get wet on Wednesday morning, you’ll be waiting a long time. It’s a bland run, but that’s how it goes around here sometimes. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep your board in the car.

Rusty.
