The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about this stretch of coastline. I’ve got the whole 16-day window in front of me, and I’m looking at a real quiet spell for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat). The forecast is a long, drawn-out run of small, messy conditions with no real standouts to get excited about.
Right from the start on Wednesday, July 15th, it’s a bit of a letdown. The swell is tiny, a weak 2ft from the NE, and the wind is cross-onshore and bumpy. The water’s a warm 83°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so you’ll be comfy, but you won’t be surfing anything decent. That same pattern just drags on through the rest of the week and into the next. Every morning and afternoon through Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are all the same story: small, weak swell, poor surf conditions, and a cross-onshore breeze that’s wrecking any chance of a clean face. The combined wave energy is stuck in the weak two-digit zone, barely cracking 90 for most of it.
There’s a bit of a bump in the energy around the middle of the second week. On Thursday, July 23rd, the afternoon swell picks up to 4ft from the NE, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 121. But it’s still a cross-onshore wind, and the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s going to be choppy and weak. The morning of Friday, July 24th is 3ft, and that afternoon the energy hits 136, but again, the wind is ruining any chance of quality. It’s a heavy “poor surf conditions” label across the board.
The biggest kick in the energy happens on Saturday, July 25th. The morning swell is 4ft from the NE, and the combined energy spikes to a strong 330. That’s the most push we’ll see, but it’s still a cross-onshore breeze at 9 mph, and the period is short at 8 seconds. That afternoon, the energy is still strong at 313, but the wind picks up to 12 mph, making it choppy. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still not worth rushing out for. The water temp anomaly is normal, so nothing weird there.
The tail end of the forecast, from Sunday, July 26th through to Thursday, July 30th, fades back into the same weak, cross-onshore, small swell pattern. The energy drops back into the double digits, and the surf is just flat and messy.
So, the honest truth is there’s no standout session here. It’s a solid 16 days of small, choppy, poor surf. If you’re desperate, the morning of July 25th has the most energy, but don’t expect anything clean. Given the consistent cross-onshore wind and that weak, short-period swell, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a bit of a blank run, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d save your energy.
Rusty.
