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

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's look at what's on the table for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I'm looking at the whole 16-day window and it's a tough one. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so that's fine. But the surf? It's just not cooperating. We're looking at a long stretch of small, choppy, and mostly messy conditions. The swell is tiny, barely breaking 3ft on the best days, and the period is short, mostly in that 5 to 9-second range, so there's no real power or shape to it. The wind is almost always cross-onshore, which is just ruining what little wave there is. It's a lot of "poor surf conditions" on the charts, and I've got to be honest with you.

We start off on Monday, 27th July, with a 2ft NE swell at 8 seconds, but the wind is already cross-on at 12 mph, making it choppy. The energy is weak (52). Tuesday, 28th July, is a little better in the morning with a 2ft swell from the E, but still cross-on and the period drops to 5 seconds, which is about as bad as it gets for a decent wave. The afternoon gets even smaller. This pattern just keeps grinding on. Wednesday, 29th July, the morning has a tiny pulse of energy (114) from the ESE, but it's still cross-on and only 3ft.

The closest we get to anything interesting is Friday, 31st July. The afternoon shows a 3ft swell from the ENE with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps up to 309. That's the most oomph we see in the whole period. But even then, the wind is still cross-on at 12 mph, so it's going to be a bit of a battle. It's still not a standout, just the least bad of the bunch.

The rest of the first week and into the second is more of the same. Saturday and Sunday, 1st and 2nd August, have 3ft swells, but the wind stays messy. The following week, from 3rd August onward, it really drops off. Swell sizes hover around 2ft to 3ft, the energy is low, and the wind is a constant cross-on or cross-shore breeze. It's a long, quiet run.

Because the swell is so small (never over 5ft) and the conditions are poor, there's no one day or one session I can point to as a real standout. The best bet, if you're desperate, would be that Friday, 31st July afternoon, but even then, expect choppy, weak waves. Given the constant cross-onshore wind and the small, weak swell, this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There's just not enough for a traditional surf session.

For a place like this, a blank run like this is more normal than not. It tends not to stay poor forever, but the forecast is what it is today.

Rusty.
