The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in from the shore. It's been a while since I've seen a run this quiet. We're looking at a 16-day window that's a real struggle, starting from August 20th and stretching all the way through to September 4th. The truth is, there's not a single day in that whole stretch that I'd be keen to paddle out at Anse de Rémire (L'apcat). The wind is nearly always a cross-onshore breeze, and the ocean is just choppy and messy. It's a long, blank run for us, which is a bit more normal for this area when the trade winds get stuck in this pattern.
The swell is simply too small to do anything with. The biggest we see is a 3 ft swell from the ENE on the 27th of August, but even then, the cross-onshore wind at 12 mph chops it all up. The energy is low to moderate at best, with the highest reading hitting 264 (moderate) on the 30th of August, but it's all for nothing with that wind. The water temperature is a warm 84°F with a small anomaly of 1°F, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're sitting there frustrated.
There's a brief moment on the 1st of September with a 1.0 ft swell from the NNE and a period of 13 seconds, suggesting a bit of groundswell, but it's so small it won't hold its shape. For the rest of the window, the periods are short, mostly 8 seconds or less, which means weak, blown-out waves. The optimum swell direction is NE, but the wind is coming from the east and east-southeast, putting it onshore. If you're into kite surfing, the constant wind and choppy conditions might be your thing, but for paddle surfing, it's a no-go.
All I can say is, keep your board waxed and watch the sky. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for too long. Rusty, signing off.
