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

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, all the way through to the end of the first week of August. The first few days, from the 2nd right up to the 12th, are a write-off – tiny, weak swell, messy cross-onshore winds, and just poor conditions all around. You’re looking at combined wave energy figures stuck in the 30s and 40s (weak) for most of that time, with swell heights barely reaching 2 ft. It’s a real flat spell, and the wind just won’t give us a break.

The only glimmer of hope comes mid-month, around the 13th and 14th of August. The combined energy finally bumps up into three-digit territory, hitting 150 on the morning of the 13th and 186 on the afternoon of the 14th (moderate energy). Swell height touches 4 ft on the 13th morning, coming from the NE with a short period of 7 seconds. That’s not a classic groundswell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and lack that proper push. But, it’s the biggest we’ll see. The trouble is, the wind is still cross-onshore from the E and ESE, so don’t expect any glassy perfection. For a spot like Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) that’s exposed and always crowded, the conditions will still be average at best, with plenty of chop. The water temp is a warm 83° with a +0.4° anomaly, so pretty much normal for this time of year – no surprises there.

Look, I wouldn’t call any of this a standout. The best on offer is that slight bump in size on the 13th and 14th, but it’s still marred by the wind. For a break that’s always busy, you’ll be fighting for scraps. If you’re a beginner, the swell is small enough to be safe, but the cross-onshore chop will make it a frustrating session. Honestly, for the first week and a half, you’re better off finding something else to do. The second week is a little more interesting, but the lack of clean conditions kills it.

Rusty.
