The Lowdown
Alright, let's be real. The next couple weeks are looking pretty darn bleak for surf. There are simply no good surf options in this entire 16-day stretch. I'm not going to lie to you and say it's going to turn on, because the data says it won't. It's a long, flat spell, and to be honest, for this area, that can happen. The energy is weak, the winds are mostly junk, and it's just not going to come together. But hey, forecasts can change, so we keep the hope alive.
The first few days, from the 20th to the 22nd, are a washout. We're looking at tiny, ankle-biters around 1 to 2 feet, with cross or cross-on winds. The combined energy is weak, with readings in the 40s and 50s. It's just not worth the effort.
Into the 23rd and 24th, there's a little bump in the morning of the 24th with some 3-foot waves, but the period is a pathetic 5 seconds. That's just bump, not surf, and the cross-onshore wind will have it chopped up. You'll be fighting for nothing.
As we move into the 25th and 26th, the energy ticks up a bit, hitting the low 200s on the 25th, but the wave height stays small, around 2 to 3 feet. The period is still short, around 8 seconds, which just doesn't give the wave any push. It's still poor.
The biggest day looks like the 29th, with the swell hitting 3 feet and a period of 8 seconds, and the energy at 210. But again, it's cross-on wind and it's just not going to be clean. It's the biggest of the run, but that's not saying much.
Looking into September, the same story continues. A few more 3-foot days, but they all have short periods and onshore winds. The energy might get up to 227 on the 4th, but with that wind and short period, it's still poor. Plus, there's a chance of a thunderstorm on the 1st, which can mess things up more.
So, honestly, if you're looking to paddle out, you might be better off leaving the surfboard at home. However, if the wind keeps blowing cross-onshore and the waves stay this mushy, the setup at Anse de Rémiire (L'apcat) might actually look more fun for kitesurfing than for paddle surfing. If you have a kite, it could be your time to shine.
The water is a warm 84°F, which is about normal for the season. So, you'll be comfortable while you're regretting bringing your board.
There's nothing to get excited about. Keep the quiver in the garage and wait for a better forecast. This one's a miss.
