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

Alright, this is Rusty again. Let me break it down for you in feet and Fahrenheit. We’re talking about Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) for the next 16 days, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: it’s a rough stretch. There’s a big gap at the start because there’s nothing worth getting wet for.

The first time you might feel a little something is on the morning of Sunday, August 16th. We’ve got a north-easterly swell pushing about 3ft, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy of all swells is a moderate 138. That’s the most oomph we’ll see in the whole run. But the wind is coming from the ESE at 15 km/h, blowing cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be choppy. The water temp is a warm 83°, with no real anomaly, so it’s just normal for this time of year.

Monday, 17th August, shows a similar story. That morning, you’ve got another 3ft swell from the east-northeast, 8-second period, and a combined energy of 167 (moderate). The wind is stronger, 25 km/h, and still cross-onshore, which will put a bump on the surface. That afternoon, the swell drops to 2ft, but the energy is still moderate at 119. It’s not clean, and with the wind and chop on a beach break, this setup might actually be better for a kiteboard than a paddleboard.

From 18th August onward, it’s a long, flat, choppy run. The swell is tiny, between 1ft and 2ft, period is short, and the wind is always cross-onshore. The combined energy stays weak, in the double digits. The crowds are always around, so even if there was a wave, you’d be sharing it. There’s no standout, no clean glassy window, and no proper groundswell.

So here’s the truth: you’ve got a blank run starting now that goes through the first week. The only time you might see a bump is on the 16th and 17th of August, but the quality is poor. For this spot, a quiet stretch like this is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d keep the wax in the wrapper.

Rusty.
