The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Well, folks, I’m gonna be straight with you—this is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry stretch of “poor surf conditions” with no real standouts in the entire 16-day window. The first recommendation doesn’t even kick in until late August, and even then, it’s not pretty. For the break at Anse de Rémire (L'apcat), the waves are small and the wind is a constant cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy.
From Monday afternoon, August 31st, we’ve got a tiny 2 ft swell from the NE, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the wind is coming from the east at 12 mph, cross-on. The wave energy is weak (70), and the water is a warm 84°F, which is about normal for this time of year. It’s just not doing anything for us.
We go through the whole first week of September with the same story: small swell, mostly 1 ft to 3 ft, short period, and the wind stays stubbornly cross-onshore from the east or east-southeast. The energy is low, usually under 100, and the surf report keeps saying “poor surf conditions.” Not a single day where the wind swings offshore or even goes light.
There’s a tiny bump in swell energy on Saturday, September 5th, morning, with 3 ft from the ENE and a combined energy of 131, but it’s still cross-on and choppy. Still a no-go. Sunday, September 6th, afternoon has a similar energy reading of 141, but again, the wind is ruining it.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief. We see some readings with moderate energy—like 151 and 183 on Thursday, September 10th and Friday, September 11th—with 3 ft swell from the ENE, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the wind is still 12 mph cross-on. It’s the same old story. No clean conditions, no offshore winds, no real quality.
Honestly, with this constant cross-onshore wind and small, short-period swell, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddling one. If you’re desperate, you might find a lump, but it won’t be worth the drive.
Hang in there, though. Forecasts can change, and it doesn’t often stay this poor for long.
