The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The 16-day window for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) is looking pretty grim if you’re keen on a proper surf. There are no good surf options on the table for this whole period. Not one recommendation. It’s a flat, choppy, cross-onshore mess from start to finish. You’d be hard-pressed to find a wave worth paddling for, and honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Here’s the rundown. Day one kicks off with tiny 2ft NE swell and a light cross-onshore breeze. Water temp is 84°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined swell energy is weak (47). It’s poor. Through Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, nothing changes – waves stay around 1ft to 2ft, and the wind stays cross-onshore. Choppy. Ugly. We’re not even getting a sniff of clean conditions.
There’s a small bump in energy around Thursday the 17th, with the combined swell energy reaching moderate (126), but the wave height is still a pathetic 2ft. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s messy and weak. It’s not surf. It’s just ocean chop.
From the 18th through the 25th, it’s the same story – cross-onshore winds, tiny swell, periods mostly in the 5 to 8 second range. The occasional moderate energy reading pops up (like 130 on the 21st), but it’s doing nothing for the waves. All poor.
Towards the end of the window, around the 26th, there’s a bit of a longer period showing up, 15-16 seconds from NNE. That’s a longer period groundswell, but the swell height is still only 1ft to 2ft. So we’re talking about a long-period, tiny, inconsistent pulse. The energy is moderate (145-165 in readings), but the size just isn't there. Plus the wind is still cross-onshore. It might look a little cleaner, but there’s nothing to ride.
So, honestly, for the next couple of weeks, leave the board in the shed. This is one of those blank runs that’s normal for the area. Sometimes it just stays flat and choppy. Forecasts do change though, so I wouldn’t write the whole month off just yet, but as it stands, there is no surf to get excited about.
Rusty out.
