The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) over the next 16 days. I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is looking like a proper write-off for surf. The guidance is telling me this spot is exposed to swell from the NE, and the setup is for intermediate crew, but the actual conditions are just not cooperating.
The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, with the anomaly sitting at 0.9° – nothing unusual there.
From Friday 21 August right through to Saturday 5 September, the story is the same: every single session is showing "poor surf conditions." The swell is tiny, barely cracking 1ft to 4ft, coming from the NE or E, and the periods are short – mostly around 4 to 9 seconds, so no real grunt behind it. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly under 100 (60 on Friday morning, down to 35 that afternoon), and even when it bumps up a bit – like on Thursday 27 August morning with 261 (moderate energy) – the wind is cross-onshore or cross-on, never clean offshore. It's a constant chop, with a moderate breeze messing up any chance of a decent face.
There are no standout days here. The biggest swell we see is 4ft on 1 September, but it's coming from the E with a 7-8 second period and cross-onshore wind at 12 mph – that's just messy, choppy surf. Even the bigger energy days (like 261 on 27 August) are paired with cross-on wind and a short period, so it's not going to be surfable for a paddle. Honestly, if you're a kite surfer, this setup might look more interesting with the consistent cross-on wind and chop, but for a paddle surfer, it's a long blank run.
This is one of those stretches where the area just doesn't deliver. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd be leaving the boards at home.
Rusty.
