The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew this over. Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a dry spell for surfers. The water’s warm, about 84°F, which is typical for this time of year, so no surprise there.
From the get-go on Monday the 24th, it’s flat. Swell is 1ft from the NE with a weak 7-second period, and the wave energy is a low 31. Onshore wind from the ENE at 15 mph, and it says "poor surf conditions." That’s the story for a while.
The first time we see any size is Thursday the 27th. A 3ft NE swell, 8-second period, energy jumps to 268. But the wind is cross-onshore at 25 mph from the ESE, making it choppy. Still "poor surf conditions."
Friday the 28th afternoon has a 2ft swell, but the period goes up to 12 seconds – a bit of a groundswell feel. Energy is 205. But again, cross-onshore wind at 20 mph and choppy.
Saturday the 29th morning you’ll see a tiny 1.0ft swell with a massive 16-second period. That’s very long period. Energy is 146. For a spot like Anse de Rémire (L'apcat), that long period means you’ll be waiting, and it’s tricky for a beach break. Afternoon is 2ft with a 15-second period, energy 213, but same story on the wind.
Sunday the 30th afternoon is the biggest bump. Swell hits 4ft from the NE, 11-second period, and energy rockets to 629 – that’s strong. But the wind is cross-onshore at 20 mph and it’s still "poor surf conditions."
After that, it’s a long run of nothing. Through the end of August and into September, swells are 1.0ft to 3ft, periods are short (5-8 seconds), and the cross-onshore winds from the E or ESE at 15-25 mph just won’t let up. Every single report says "poor surf conditions."
Honestly, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat). The winds are always cross-onshore, the swell is small, and when there’s a bit of energy the wind ruins it. With that constant cross-onshore breeze, this looks like a better setup for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a dry run, but around here when the trades lock in, that’s just how it goes. Forecasts can always change, though.
