The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for us at Anse de Rémire.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. The first day we see any surf at all is Wednesday morning the 26th of August, but don’t get your hopes up. The water is a warm 84° and about average for the time of year, but from the start right through to the end of the forecast, every single session is tagged as “poor surf conditions.” That’s a long stretch of flat, messy, or just plain ugly ocean.
The initial outlook is bleak. We’ve got tiny swell heights, mostly around 1.0ft to 2ft, coming in from the NE. The wind is a persistent problem, blowing cross-on or cross-shore from the east or southeast at 12 to 16 mph, keeping everything choppy and blown out. The swell period is short, mostly 8 seconds or less, so there’s no real power or shape to speak of. The combined energy is weak, with values like 79 and 61, hardly enough to get excited about. There’s a brief pulse of energy on Friday afternoon the 28th, with a reading of 197 (moderate energy) and a longer 12-second period, but the 2ft NE swell is still small and the wind is still a mess. It’s not worth paddling out for.
The story doesn’t change much as we head into the first week of September. The wind stays onshore, the swell stays tiny, and the energy is mostly weak. On Saturday afternoon the 5th of September, we see a spike in combined energy to 281 (moderate energy), and the swell bumps up to 4ft from the NE, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is still cross-on from the ESE at 12 mph. It’s a bit of a tease – more water moving but no quality to it.
The reality is, there is no standout session in this entire 16-day run. The wind is never favourable, the swell is never big enough or clean enough, and the break is a beach-and-reef setup that just can’t handle this constant chop. If you’re a kite surfer, this kind of consistent wind and small, messy surf might be your jam, but for paddle surfing, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a solid two-week stretch of nothing worth recommending, and that’s just how it is sometimes.
Stick to the riverbanks with a cold one, lads. The ocean’s not playing ball this time.
Rusty.
