The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let me tell ya, it’s been a rough stretch for the waves around here. We’re lookin’ at a solid 16-day window with nothin’ really worth paddlin’ out for. The whole forecast is a flat spell of onshore junk, with every single session marked as poor surf. There's no standout, no hidden gem, just a whole lot of nothin’ for a surfer.
We start off on Monday, 7th September, at Anse de Rémire (L'apcat). The water’s a balmy 84°F, which is about average for this time of year. But that’s where the good news ends. The swell is tiny, around 3 ft from the NE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 58 – barely a ripple. The wind is a cross-shore from the SE at 9 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. Not a wave you’d want to ride.
This grim pattern just keeps rollin’ on. Every day, every session, it’s cross-on winds from the east or southeast at 9 to 12 mph, with swell heights that barely scrape 3 ft. The swell direction is mostly NE or ENE, with periods that are short and weak – usually 7 or 8 seconds, occasionally droppin’ to a pathetic 4 or 5 seconds. The combined energy stays in the weak to low-moderate range, peaking at 249 on the Wednesday afternoon of the 9th, but even then, the conditions are described as “poor surf.” The wind is always on it, making it choppy and unappealing.
There’s a brief flicker of a longer period on the 18th and 19th, with a 14-second and 12-second swell from the NNE, but the swell heights are tiny (1 ft and 2 ft) and the wind is still cross-on. That long period at a beach break like this would just break straight and close out anyway, nothin’ to get excited about.
Forget about a best day. There isn’t one. The setup here is a beach break, exposed to the wind, and with such poor quality and persistent onshore flow, it’s lookin’ more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a blank run, and in this area, it’s not that unusual to see such a quiet spell. Forecats can change, but right now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
