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

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it's a pretty grim stretch. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but everything I'm seeing is "poor surf conditions" across the board. The winds are almost constantly cross-onshore, chopping everything up, and the swell is small and weak. It's a tough one to call a standout session because, frankly, there isn't one. The first decent push of energy doesn't even show up until the 1st of September, and even then, the wind is still junk. Most days the combined energy is barely cracking 100 (like 95 on the morning of the 27th, or a weak 78 on the 28th), which tells you how limp the ocean is. You'll see a tiny bump in energy on the 5th of September with a combined energy of 172, but the waves are still small—around 4 ft—and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it's just messy closeouts.

The best of a bad lot might be the afternoon of the 5th of September. You've got a swell from the ENE at 4 ft, the period is still short (8 seconds), and the combined energy climbs to 296, which is at least moderate. But that cross-onshore wind from the east at 12 mph is going to keep it choppy and ugly. There's no standout break conditions here; it's the same spot for the whole run, and it's just not made for this combo of wind and swell.

Because the break is exposed and the optimum swell is from the NE, we're getting the direction right at times, but the wind is always wrong. The water temp is a warm 84° on the 27th morning, with a normal anomaly of 0.8°, so no surprises there—just average bath temperatures for this time of year. But that doesn't help the surf.

To be blunt, there's nothing here I'd paddle out for. The entire 16-day forecast is a write-off for proper surfing. It's all cross-onshore chop with weak, short-period swell. If you're really itching for a session, you'd be better off with a kiteboard on a day like the 5th of September when there's a bit more energy (296) and the wind is up at 12-16 mph. That setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Otherwise, save the energy. This is just one of those blank runs that happens.
