The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry stretch with no real surf to get excited about for the entire 16-day window. The first recommendation doesn’t come until the 29th of August, and it’s a grim start. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
From Saturday the 29th of August through to the end of the first week, it’s all cross-onshore wind and poor surf conditions. The wave energy is weak to moderate at best, with values like 107 (moderate) dropping to as low as 39 (weak). The swell is small, mostly 1 ft to 4 ft, with short periods around 6 to 8 seconds, coming from the east or northeast. That’s not the optimum direction for this spot, which needs a northeast swell. The constant wind is ruining the shape, and it’s just choppy, messy junk. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s a slight uptick in energy around the 5th of September, with the combined energy jumping to 338 (moderate) early Saturday morning, and swell pushing 4 ft from the ENE. But, the wind is still cross-onshore at 12 mph, and the period is a short 8 seconds. The forecaster is still calling it "poor surf conditions," so don’t be fooled by the numbers. That same rough pattern continues through the 9th of September, where we see a small bump in energy to 146 (moderate) on Wednesday afternoon, but again, the wind is cross-onshore and the quality is gone.
The last few days of the window, from the 10th of September onwards, are more of the same: small, weak, wind-affected swells. The combined energy stays between 85 and 138 (weak to moderate), but the wind never lets up. It’s just not happening.
Bottom line: this is a blank run. There are no good surf options in the 16-day window. For this area, a stretch like this isn’t that unusual. The forecast can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
