Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's talk straight. We've got a 16-day window here, and I'll be honest with you, it's a tough stretch for Anse de Rémi re (L'apcat). The charts are showing a real flat spell, and conditions are persistently messy. We're looking at a long period of poor surf, with the wind almost always coming from the east or east-southeast, blowing cross-on or cross-shore. That's going to keep things choppy and uninviting for a paddle surfer.

The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Let's run through it. From Friday the 24th through to Sunday the 3rd of August, it's a total write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is on it from the wrong angle. The combined energy is weak, rarely climbing above 100 (20 to 98), so there's just no power in the water. You'd be fighting an onshore breeze for a knee-high slop. It's a long gap with nothing to recommend.

Now, there's a little flicker of something on the 31st of July. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the NE, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 328. But here's the killer – the wind is still a moderate cross-onshore breeze from the east at 12 mph. The report still says "poor surf conditions," so it's not going to be clean. It's a tease, really.

Moving into the first week of August, we're back into the doldrums. Swell drops back under 3 ft, and the energy is weak again. The last few days of the forecast, from the 5th to the 8th of August, see the period lengthen out to 12-14 seconds. That's a long-period groundswell, which usually means better shape, but the swell height is tiny (1 ft to 3 ft). The combined energy is still weak to moderate (82 to 140), and the wind remains a problem. That long-period swell is also more suited to a point or reef, and this is an exposed beach, so it might just break too straight.

Honestly, for the entire 16 days, there is not a single standout session. The setup with the persistent cross-onshore wind and small, weak swell looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. If you're desperate, keep an eye on the 31st of July, but don't get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a blank run.

Rusty.
