The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be real about the surf for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat).
Look, I've got to be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough stretch for paddle surfing on this break. The water temp is sitting at a comfortable 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that's about the only good news. We're staring down a long run of poor surf conditions, with the entire forecast period showing nothing but a flat, choppy mess.
The first few days, starting Wednesday the 12th, are a write-off. Small swell around 1ft to 2ft and onshore winds making it choppy. The energy is weak, with readings like 42 and 45, which is nothing to get excited about. We see a slight bump in swell energy on the 15th, hitting 142, but the wind is still cross-onshore and the waves are blown out. By Saturday the 15th afternoon, the swell energy jumps up to 404, but again, it's a messy 4ft with a cross-onshore wind. This is the kind of setup that’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
We go through a dry spell, day after day of similar conditions. The swell stays small, the wind is mostly cross-onshore, and it's consistently choppy. There's a little pulse on the 27th with energy reading 116, but it's still messy and small. The whole period from the 12th through to the 27th is a gap with no decent surf recommendations.
Honestly, there's no standout session in this 16-day window. The wind is never light and glassy or offshore, the swell is never big enough to wrap in cleanly, and the period is short, mostly between 5 and 9 seconds, which just doesn't have the power for a wave that holds up. This is a tough run, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it, but for now, you're better off finding another hobby.
Rusty.
