Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on offer for this stretch of coast, starting from July 6th and looking ahead.
Right off the bat, I gotta tell you it’s pretty grim. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions that runs all the way from Monday the 6th of July through to at least Sunday the 19th of July. That’s a solid two-week gap with basically nothing worth paddling out for. If you're looking for something decent, you might as well take a holiday from surfing for a while.
The one and only spot in the frame is Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) . The water temp is sitting at 84°F which is pretty much normal for the time of year. Not too hot, not too cold—just your usual tropical bath. The swell direction is coming from the NE, which is what this place wants to see, but unfortunately the size is just tiny – mostly around 2 ft to 4 ft. The period is short, only 8 seconds, so it’s a windswell with no grunt. The combined energy reading is weak, hovering between 73 and 180 throughout this whole period, so there’s just no push.
The wind is the real killer here. It’s mostly cross-onshore from the E or ESE at 9 to 12 mph, which leaves the surface chopped and messy. There’s no glassy window, no clean face to work with. Even the light breeze days are still cross-onshore, just enough to put a ripple on the water. It’s basically one of those times where you’re better off checking the kite spots because this is not paddle-friendly surf.
The only day that even gets close is Friday the 10th of July afternoon. We see the swell bump to 5 ft from the NE, still short period at 8 seconds, but the energy jumps to 526. That’s moderate energy, but the wind is cross-shore with a cross-chop, and the forecast calls for “marginal surf.” It’s not worth getting excited about. For beginners, 5 ft is pushing it a bit, but the conditions are so messy I wouldn’t send anyone out.
So here’s the bottom line: there is no standout day. Not one. The whole 16-day period is poor. The breaks are inconsistent with the conditions, the wind never aligns, and the swell is too weak and short-period. This area often struggles with this kind of run, so it’s not a shock. It won’t stay like this forever, but for now, leave the boards in the car.
Rusty.
