The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's get into it. I gotta be straight with you – it's looking like a tough stretch for a paddle around Anse de Rémire (L'apcat). The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for decent surf. We're starting right now, Monday the 3rd of August, and through to Tuesday the 18th of August, every single report is showing "poor surf conditions". That's a long, hard run of flatness and chop.
The main issue is the wind. It's coming from the east and east-southeast, blowing cross-onshore at 9 to 12 mph for the vast majority of the period. That's keeping the surface messy and choppy. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft, with a period of 4 to 10 seconds, so there's no real energy or shape to work with. The combined swell energy is weak, staying well under 100 for most of the run, only just nudging into the moderate zone on the 17th and 18th but still not enough to salvage the quality. Water temperature is 83°F for the first one we see, and with a tiny anomaly of +0.7°F, it's about average for the time of year.
There's no standout here, no hidden gem. The swell direction is coming from the northeast and east, which is far from the optimum southwest direction for this spot. The crowds are listed as "always", but honestly, with conditions this poor, you won't have to worry about battling for a wave. It's a tough one – sometimes you get a blank run like this. The one tiny silver lining is that the swell energy does creep up a bit in the second week, around the 17th and 18th, but the wind stays onshore and the quality remains poor. For a beach setup like this, with the constant side-wind, it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle guys. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd save the energy and wait for the next window.
Rusty.
