The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, to be straight up with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat). There’s surf in the water, but it’s just not cooperating. The winds are almost always cross-onshore or onshore, and the periods are short, so the waves are messy and weak. The water temperature anomaly is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first few days, starting Monday, July 20, are a total write-off. Swell is tiny, around 1 ft to 2 ft from the NE, with periods of only 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, in the low to mid double digits (46 to 65). It’s just poor surf conditions with light to moderate cross-onshore breezes and choppy water. Nothing to get excited about.
This poor pattern hangs on through the rest of the week. By Saturday, July 25, the swell does bump up a bit to 3 ft, but the period is still short at 7 seconds. The energy climbs into the triple digits (126) in the afternoon, but the wind is still a moderate cross-onshore at 12 mph, making for choppy, ugly waves. The “poor surf conditions” label sticks right through the next week.
There’s a slight uptick around Monday, July 27, with swell hitting 4 ft from the NE, period of 8 seconds, and energy jumping to 234 in the morning and 257 in the afternoon. That’s moderate wave energy, but the wind is still a gentle cross-onshore at 9 mph. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” again. Even with more size, the short period and cross-onshore wind mean it’ll be a bumpy, slow mess.
The rest of the period into early August is more of the same. Swell drops back to 1 ft to 2 ft, periods stay between 9 and 10 seconds, but the wind is still cross-onshore or onshore. The energy is weak, in the 30s to 90s. For a spot that’s always crowded and exposed to the NE, this is a long stretch of nothing.
Honestly, there’s no standout day in this 16-day window. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the constant cross-onshore winds and bumpy conditions. Keep the board in the car and let the forecasts change—this area tends to fire again.
Rusty.
