The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I'll be honest with you – this outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We're looking at a stretch where the surf just isn't playing ball. The first decent recommendation doesn't come until Saturday, 18 July, but even then, it's not great.
The whole period is dominated by tiny, weak swells. The combined energy never really gets pumping, with most readings sitting below 100 (weak energy), and only a few sessions making it into the moderate range up to 271. The wind is a constant problem too, mostly coming from the east or east-southeast, which puts it in the cross-on or cross shore range, keeping the surface choppy and uninviting. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 83.3°F, which is about average for the time of year.
Let's look at the only break on offer, Anse de Rémire (L'apcat). It's an exposed spot that works best with a swell from the NE. The problem is, the swell is tiny – we're looking at 1.6 ft to 4.3 ft max, with a short period around 7 to 8 seconds. That's weak, wind-affected stuff. The wind is almost always cross-on, creating a chop that makes it feel like a washing machine. The best you could hope for is the morning of Saturday, 25 July, when the swell bumps up to 3.6 ft from the NE (moderate energy of 112) and the wind drops to a light breeze, giving you a cross-on breeze with just small wind ripples. It's still not clean, but it's the least bad option. The afternoon of that same day sees the swell peak at 4.3 ft (energy hitting 271), but it's still cross-on and choppy.
There's a long gap of nothing but poor conditions. The break is crowded often, and honestly, for a beginner, anything over 4.9 ft is too big, but we never get there. The swell is just too small and the wind is too messy for any decent paddle surfing. The constant cross-on wind and the weak, short-period swell make this setup look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Stick with it, the forecasts can change, but for now, it's a quiet one.
