The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat). The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bust, with nothing really worth paddling out for. You've got a constant feed of cross-onshore winds messing up the surface, and the swell is tiny. The water temp is sitting at a warm 83°F, so at least you won't be cold, and that's about average for the time of year.
Right from Thursday the 6th of August, it's all poor surf conditions with that wind coming from the east at 12 mph, making things choppy on a tiny 1 ft swell. That pattern just doesn't let up. Friday and Saturday are the same story: small, weak swell (energy in the 20s and 30s range) and messy winds. The period on that swell is a short 5 to 8 seconds, so it's all wind-slop, no real power behind it.
We get a glimmer of something slightly different on Wednesday the 12th of August morning when the wind actually turns offshore from the ENE at a light 6 mph. But the swell is still a weak and small 2 ft from the east with a short 7-second period (energy at 85). It's the best the window gets, but "best" here is still pretty poor. The rest of that day and the following week just sees the cross-onshore winds come back and the swell stays small.
Even towards the tail end, around Monday the 17th and Wednesday the 19th of August, the swell bumps up a touch to 3 ft, and the wave energy climbs into the 100s and 200s, but the wind is still cross-onshore and the period is short. It's going to be choppy and unorganized. For a spot that's exposed to the NE, we're just not getting the right energy or the right winds to line up. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle surf.
There are simply no good surf options in this entire 16-day stretch. The guidance agrees, it's just flat and messy. Hang tight, the forecasts can change.
Stay salty,
Rusty
