The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window for Anse de Rémiire (L'apcat) and, honestly, it’s pretty grim. The whole period is marked by poor surf conditions, so there’s no standout, no day to get excited about, just a long stretch of small, choppy, and messy waves.
The forecast kicks off on Thursday the 16th of July with a tiny 2ft NE swell, but it’s messy with a cross-shore wind and a short 7-second period. The water temp is a balmy 83°, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s about the only good news. The combined energy is weak, only 47, so there’s barely any push. It stays like this through the weekend – small, cross-on, and choppy. Honestly, it’s more of a splash around than a surf.
The first real bump in energy comes on Sunday morning the 19th, with a combined energy of 114 (moderate), but even then the swell is only 2ft, period is still short at 8 seconds, and the wind is cross. Surf quality is still rated as poor. It’s a bit of a tease. Monday afternoon the 20th sees a similar spike in energy to 161, but the swell is still only 3ft and the period drops back to 7 seconds. The onshore wind is just ruining any chance of a clean wave.
We get a bit of a reprieve on the 23rd and 24th with lighter winds, but the swell is tiny, under 2ft. It’s barely rideable. The best chance for something half-decent looks like Saturday the 25th of July afternoon, when the swell nudges up to 4ft from the NE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 246 (moderate), but the wind is still cross-on at 9 mph, so expect more choppy, lumpy conditions. It’s still rated as poor, so not a winner.
The period from then on is a bit of a blank run. The 26th and 27th drop back to smaller, weaker swells. The last pulse of energy comes on Friday the 31st of July, with the swell touching 4ft from the NE and a period of 9 seconds, giving a combined energy of 444 (moderate). But again, the wind is cross-on at 12 mph, and the surf quality is poor. With the wind and the short period, this is likely going to be a messy, bumpy wave.
Given the persistent cross-on winds and small, short-period swell, this setup at Anse de Rémiire looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s very little to recommend for a surfer. Keep checking back, as forecasts can change, but for now, this is a tough stretch.
Rusty.
