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

Alright, let’s get this straight. Right now, we’re looking at a pretty grim stretch of beach. For the next week and a half, there’s nothing good on the cards. Not a single surfable wave for the paddle surfer. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross-onshore, and everything is chopped up. It’s a write-off.

The first week of this forecast is a real bummer. We’re talking small, weak swell. The energy is low – we’re seeing numbers like 62 and 78, which just tells you it’s a dribble, not a pulse. The period is short, mostly 8 seconds, and the direction is all over the place. The wind is a constant cross-onshore from the east, which just ruins any chance of a clean face. It’s all poor surf conditions.

There’s a slight hiccup of energy on the 18th with a score of 115, but the wind ruins it. And again on the 22nd, we see a bit more push (roughly 5 ft), but it’s still just messy onshore slop. This is not the time to be dusting off the board. You’d be fighting chop for nothing.

Then, the wait continues through the 23rd, 24th, and 25th. More of the same, really. The swell stays small and the wind stays wrong. It’s a long, flat, frustrating run.

The first real sign of life *might* be on Wednesday the 26th. The afternoon shows a slight bump in size – up to about 5 ft – and the energy jumps up to a moderate 357. But don’t get too excited. The wind is still cross-onshore and the conditions are still called "poor." It’s more of the same junk, just with a little more water moving. It’s a “check it if you’re desperate” kind of situation, but I wouldn’t plan my day around it.

After that, it fades right back out again. We’re back to small, weak waves and onshore winds through the 27th, 28th, and 29th.

So honestly, if you’re looking for a good wave in this 16-day window, you’re gonna be waiting a long time. This spot is just locked in a pattern of wind and swell that doesn’t do it any favors. It’s not a surprise for this area, but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating.

Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. When it’s this consistently poor, the forecasts can change, but you’d need a serious shift to make this worth the paddle. I’d say save your energy for something else.
