The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a whisper of surf. The first real chance of anything rideable is a long way off, and even then, it’s a tough call.
The water’s sitting at a warm 84°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year. Not a massive anomaly, but it’s a touch on the balmy side.
We’re looking at Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) for the entire forecast period. The place is exposed to the NE, but the optimum swell is also from the NE, so that’s a bit of a mismatch. The winds are a consistent problem. From Monday the 17th of August right through the rest of the month, we’re dealing with a relentless cross-on or cross-shore breeze, mostly from the ESE or E. It’s a moderate breeze at best, sometimes a gentle breeze, but it’s never clean. The wave state is described as "poor surf conditions" across the board, with the swell energy being weak to moderate at best. The biggest energy we see is 207 on the 27th of August afternoon, but the wind is still a rough cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The swell itself is tiny, mostly knee-high or less, with a few fleeting moments where it nudges up to 3 ft on the 27th of August morning. The swell period is short, mostly 8 seconds, so it’s just windswell—weak, crumbly, and battling the breeze.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout session in this 16-day window. The whole period is a blank run. The crowd factor is listed as "always" at this break, and with conditions this poor, it’s not going to be worth the paddle. The setup is a beach, and with the persistent cross-shore wind and small, weak swell, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. For us, it’s a waiting game. It’s tough to stay optimistic when the whole 16 days looks like this, but a blank run like this is more normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d say leave the boards in the car.
Rusty.
