Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat). The truth is, the models are showing a pretty grim run of surf. There's nothing on the cards that's going to get your heart racing, and the whole 16-day window is just a flat, choppy mess.

Let's break it down. We're starting from Monday, 27 July, and honestly, the forecast is a real letdown. The swell is tiny, mostly coming from the NE at a pathetic 2 ft to 2 ft, and the period is junk – often 8 seconds or less. The wind is a constant problem, too. It's almost always a cross-on or cross-shore breeze from the SE or E, gusting at 9 to 12 mph, which is just stirring up the surface into a chop. The water temp is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about average for this time of year, but it's not going to make the surf any better.

The energy levels are weak, sitting in the low double digits (43 to 79) for the first few days, which tells you there's just no power in the water. It's a consistent "poor surf conditions" warning across the board. We get a little bump in energy on the 1st of August, with the combined energy hitting 206, but the swell is still only 3 ft with a short 8-second period, and it's still cross-on and choppy. That's not a surfable day, that's a day to stay on the beach.

The only real change comes on the 7th of August, where the swell direction shifts slightly to the ENE and the energy picks up to 172, but again, it's a messy, cross-on wind situation. The period is still short at 6-7 seconds, so the waves will be weak and disorganized.

The rest of the run into August is more of the same – tiny, weak swell, and a constant onshore breeze.

Forget about picking a standout here. There isn't one. The setup is so poor that even the days with the most energy are still ruined by the wind direction. Honestly, with the persistent cross-onshore winds and the weak, short-period swell, this coastline looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's just nothing for a surfer to work with.

So, that's the bad news. No hidden gems, no late-week miracle. It's a flat spell, and it's going to feel like a long one. We'll just have to wait for the next system to roll through.

Rusty.
