The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day run for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) is a tough one to write. The whole stretch is one long, frustrating gap of poor surf conditions. We’re looking at a solid blank run right through from Tuesday, September 8, all the way to Wednesday, September 23. Not a single session gets the nod as anything worth paddling out for. The wind is a constant cross-onshore, mostly from the east at 9–12 mph, which is just chopping everything up. Swell heights barely tickle the 3 ft mark, peaking around 4 ft on Thursday, September 10, with periods hanging between 6 and 9 seconds – short-period, weak stuff that just doesn't have any push. The combined swell energy stays low, mostly under 100 through the first week, though on Thursday afternoon, September 10, it hits 355 – moderate energy for a blink – but the cross-onshore wind kills it.
The water temp anomaly is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there. The optimum swell direction for this exposed spot is NE, and we do see some NE pulses, but the wind ruins any chance of quality. Even the longer-period pulses, like the 13-second swell on Friday, September 18, are let down by the onshore wind and poor conditions. On September 18, the combined energy is 139, and on September 19, we get 168 with a 12-second period, but again, it's all cross-onshore chop. For a spot that has crowds *always*, there's nothing to crowd for here. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – the cross-onshore wind and small, choppy waves are a better match for a kite.
Don’t lose hope entirely, though. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever. Keep an eye on the charts.
Rusty.
