The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a string of poor surf conditions. There’s no standout, no real highlight to get excited about. The swell is tiny and weak, and the wind is almost always coming from the east or southeast, blowing cross-onshore, which keeps the surface chopped up and messy. The first decent bit of wave energy doesn’t even show until Thursday 17th September morning, when the combined energy climbs to 101 (moderate), but it’s still only 3 ft from the ENE with a 7-second period and cross-onshore wind. That’s not worth paddling out for, unless you’re desperate for a bumpy session.
Through the rest of the first week and into the second, it’s more of the same: swell heights hover between 1.0 ft and 3 ft, periods mostly under 8 seconds (short period, weak windswell), and the wind never turns favourable. There are a couple of afternoons – like Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th – where the energy ticks up a bit (121 and 152 respectively, still moderate), but the wind is cross-onshore and gusty, so the waves will be lumpy and hard to enjoy. The water temperature is a warm 84°F with a 2°F anomaly, so it’s a bit toastier than usual for this time of year, but that doesn’t make up for the lack of rideable surf.
Later in the window, around Monday 28th September morning, there’s a pulse of 2 ft swell from the north with a 10-second period and combined energy of 115 – that’s a bit more period, suggesting a touch of groundswell, but again the wind is cross-onshore and the size is tiny. Nothing to write home about.
Honestly, if you’re looking to get wet, you might be better off with a kite or a foil board on these small, windy days. For a proper surf, this stretch is a write-off. The break is exposed to NE swell, which is the optimum direction, but the energy just isn’t there. This kind of blank run can happen here, and forecasts can shift – but as it stands, there’s no day worth planning around.
Rusty.
