The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be honest – it’s a total flat spell. The whole sixteen-day window is a bust. Not a single session worth paddling out for.
We start on Monday the 17th of August and go right through to Tuesday the 1st of September, and every single forecast is poor. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 4ft, coming from E, NE, or ENE, but it’s short-period junk (5 to 10 seconds). The wind is the real problem – almost always cross-on or cross-shore, with a moderate breeze (12 to 16 mph) from ESE or E. That means chop and messy conditions. No glassy, clean windows at all.
The combined wave energy is mostly weak, though a couple of afternoons show moderate energy (like 224 and 253), but the wind ruins it. The swell direction is NE, and the spot’s optimum swell direction is also NE, so the direction is right – but it doesn’t matter when the quality is this bad. Crowds are listed as "always" here, so you’d expect company on a good day, but nobody’s gonna be out in this.
There’s a gap of nearly two weeks with nothing but poor surf. It’s a rough stretch. If you’re really keen, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with these choppy, onshore winds.
Signing off, Rusty.
