The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. The surf just isn’t cooperating. There’s a long stretch of small, weak, crummy conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for anything good. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just says “not today.”
The first real pulse of surf doesn’t show up until the afternoon of Saturday the 25th of July over at Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) . We’re looking at a weak 4 ft swell from the northeast, with a short period of only 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is a modest 195 (moderate), and the wind is a gentle cross-onshore breeze out of the east at 9 mph. It’s not total junk, but it’s far from clean. The water is sitting at a warm 82°, which is bang on average for this time of year. Nothing special here, folks.
The best chance for a session in this whole outlook is on Tuesday the 28th of July in the afternoon. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the northeast, with a period of 9 seconds – still short-period, but the energy jumps to 338 (moderate). The wind eases back to a light 6 mph cross-onshore from the east, which is the cleanest we’ll see. It’s not glassy, but it’s the best wind of the whole run. The break is exposed to the swell, and the optimum swell direction is northeast, so the angle is lined up. Still, the surf quality is described as poor, so it’s a gamble for the dedicated.
After that, the swell hangs around the 3 ft to 4 ft mark through the end of July and into early August, but the cross-onshore wind never really lets up. The afternoon of Friday the 31st of July sees a 4 ft NNE swell with a 9-second period and energy of 301 (moderate), but the wind is a moderate 12 mph cross-onshore from the east, making it choppy.
The only standout session is that Tuesday afternoon the 28th of July – it’s the best of a bad bunch. The light wind gives you a shot at some semi-clean 4 ft waves. Crowds are listed as “always” at this spot, so expect company. It’s a beach break, so with short-period swell, it’ll be a bit lumpy and inconsistent. Not a day for beginners, but an intermediate could find a few.
The gap: From now until the 25th of July, there’s barely any surf worth paddling for. A long dry spell. Then from the 25th, it’s still poor quality, just with a little more size.
Bottom line: If you’re desperate, hit it on Tuesday the 28th of July in the afternoon. Otherwise, save your energy. This stretch is more interesting for the kite surfers than the paddle crew, with that persistent cross-onshore wind and small, weak swell.
Stay salty.
Rusty.
