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

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) is a tough one to call. The whole period is a bit of a flat spell, so don't expect to be scrambling for your board right now. There's a big gap right at the start with no real surf to speak of, and honestly, it's not until we get well into the second week that we see anything that might raise an eyebrow. The water is sitting at 84°F on the 9th, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the swim will be nice.

We kick off on Wednesday, September 9th, with a tiny 2ft NE swell pushing in, but a gusty 12 mph cross-onshore wind from the east has it all chopped up and messy. The energy is weak (112). It's a no-go. The whole first week is more of the same: tiny swells, cross-onshore winds, and poor conditions. You'll see a bit of a bump in energy on the 13th (102) and again on the 14th, but the wind is relentless, keeping things choppy and bumpy. Honestly, it's a write-off for paddle surfing.

The first real shift comes on Thursday, September 18th. The swell starts to nudge up a bit, hitting 3ft to 3ft from the ENE, and the wind eases to a gentle 9 mph cross-onshore. The energy picks up to moderate (144 on Friday morning, 120 Friday afternoon). It's still not perfect – the wind is cross-onshore, not glassy – but it's a step up. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it's a bit of a windswell, making for crumbly, weak waves. It's the best we've got so far, but it's not a standout.

The next potential window is on the 23rd and 24th. On Wednesday, September 23rd, we see a 3ft swell from the NE with a 7-second period, but the wind is up to 16 mph in the morning, making it choppy again. The energy gets to 124. Then, on Thursday, September 24th, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the ENE (energy 264), which is the biggest swell of the entire forecast. The wind is still a moderate 12 mph cross-onshore, though. This is the only real standout, but it's a distant one. At 4ft, it's still manageable for intermediates, but the cross-onshore wind will keep it from being clean. The swell direction (ENE) is not the optimum (NE) for this spot, so it'll be a bit off-angle.

Looking at the whole 16 days, there are no days with glassy, offshore winds. It's all cross-onshore, which is a real killer for quality. The biggest swell arrives on the 24th, but it's a long way off. For the week starting September 16th, expect small, weak, onshore slop.

For the first week, put the boards away. For the second week, keep an eye on the 18th and 19th for a little bit of fun, and the 24th for the biggest, but most distant, chance of a wave. It's a tough outlook, but it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts can change.

Rusty.
