The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook in feet and miles per hour, because some of us think that way.
For Anse de Rémire (L'apcat), the next sixteen days are a total dud. No surf worth chasing. The first possible paddle is Wednesday the 19th of August and it’s already a no-go.
Wednesday morning the 19th gives you a tiny 1ft NE windswell with an 8 second period. The combined energy is a pathetic 46 – that’s weak. It’s cloudy with a 9 mph cross-shore breeze from the SE putting a little bump on it. Not worth wetting the suit.
Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are the same story: swell stays around 1ft to 2ft, period still short, and the wind turns cross-onshore, so the surface gets messy. Saturday and Sunday the 22nd and 23rd are even smaller, with the swell dropping to 1ft and energy in the 30s. Hard pass.
On Monday the 24th, the swell picks up to 2ft with an 11 second period from the NE, and the energy jumps to 201 – moderate. That groundswell has better shape potential, but the wind is still cross-onshore at 12 mph, keeping it choppy. The score is still zero.
Tuesday the 25th is similar but with a shorter period. Then from Wednesday the 26th of August all the way into early September, it’s the same pattern: waves between 2ft and 3ft, but always with that cross-onshore breeze. The longest period shows up on Saturday the 29th afternoon – a tiny 1ft swell at 16 seconds, but onshore wind kills any chance of a clean wave. Combined energy is 117 – still weak.
No offshore winds, no glassy windows. Even the biggest pulse on the 27th of August (3ft) is ruined by short period and onshore wind. It’s a flat, frustrating stretch for sixteen days straight. The area can go quiet like this, so it’s not a surprise.
Water temp is average for this time of year, nothing unusual. Crowds are always a factor, but with no waves, nobody’s out.
Wrap it up – leave the stick in the garage. Nothing happening.
Rusty.
