The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked over the numbers for Anse de Rémi re and through the whole 16-day window, it’s a tough stretch. There’s no surf worth paddling out for right from the start, so we’re looking at a gap of several days before you’d even want to think about it. Truth is, this spot just isn’t firing. The wind is almost always cross-on from the east or east-south-east, which keeps the surface chopped up and messy. The swell is small, weak, and inconsistent, mostly coming from the northeast with short, weak periods. The wave energy is low for most of the forecast, with only a few days in the second week showing moderate energy (in the 200s) but it’s still paired with that same poor wind.
The first week is pretty much a washout. Through to the 20th of August, you’ve got tiny 1ft to 3ft surf at Anse de Rémi re, with energy readings often below 100, and a cross or cross-on breeze keeping it ugly. Even when it bumps up slightly on the afternoon of the 15th, to 4ft, the cross-on 12 mph easterly wind just ruins it. This is all poor surf conditions.
We do see a small window of slightly more juice around the 25th and 26th of August. The swell pushes to 3ft to 4ft from the northeast, and the combined wave energy gets into the moderate range (205 to 226). This is the best you’re going to get. Even then, the wind is still cross-on, so it’ll be choppy. For a beginner, that 3ft to 4ft is at the upper limit of what’s comfortable, but with the poor wind, I wouldn’t send anyone out for their first lesson. For more experienced surfers, it’s still not great, but it’s the only time the ocean is showing any life. The swell period is short, around 8 seconds, so it’s windswell, choppy and not holding its shape well.
The rest of the 16 days, from the 27th onward, we’re back to tiny, weak surf and poor conditions. No proper groundswell shows up. The water temp at the start is about 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you can be warm while you’re getting nothing.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, because you’ve got steady 12 mph winds, but for a wave rider? It’s a bummer. Look, it tends not to stay this flat for long around here, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I’d save your energy.
