The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – there’s no high-fives coming from this forecast. It’s a tough stretch.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell. The pattern is consistent but not in a good way. For the first week and a half, from now through to about the 25th of August, you’re chasing your tail. The wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, and the swell just isn't doing us any favours. It’s a lot of small, weak combo swell with low energy, mostly from the NE.
The one spot in the picture is Anse de Rémire, and honestly, it’s a frustrating sit. It's an exposed spot, so it sees plenty of ocean energy, but that energy is mostly wasted. It’s a consistent break but it’s rarely working clean. For the entire first week, the energy is almost non-existent, and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions". The energy values are low, like 37 on the 13th, through to 73 on the 14th and up to 170 on the 15th morning (that’s still just moderate energy). It’s gutless.
The water temp around Anse de Rémire looks to be about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report.
We do see a slight uptick in energy around the 15th and 16th, with a little more size (up to 4ft on the Saturday afternoon) and energy hitting 455, but the wind stays cross-onshore and choppy, so the quality doesn’t improve. Crowds are described as "always" here, so you’d be sharing the mess with plenty of others.
The only slight shift comes at the very tail end of the outlook. Around the 26th of August, Wednesday, we get a hint of something better. The swell size pushes to about 4ft, and the period gets to 8 seconds, with a touch more energy (254). The wind eases to a gentle breeze, still cross-onshore, making things "fairly choppy". It's not a classic day by any stretch, but it’s the best on offer.
Honestly, for most of this window, the setup is so wind-affected and small that the beach setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you absolutely need a surf, keep your expectations on the floor and your eyes on the 26th of August for the least-bad chance.
Rusty.
