The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get real about the surf for the next couple of weeks. We're looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead, to be honest.
The overall pattern is just a long run of poor conditions. The wind is nearly always cross-onshore, which is a killer for quality, and the swell is tiny. It's a flat spell, plain and simple. From now until the end of the 16-day window, we don't have a single decent session on offer.
The only spot we've got to look at is Anse de Rémiure (L'apcat) , and it's not looking good. The water is sitting at 84°, which is nearly two degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – a bit of a tropical bath. The swell energy is weak, with values mostly under 100 (43) to start, and even when it bumps up to moderate levels like 265 on the 27th of August, the wind is just ruining it. The swell direction is mostly from the NE, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but with a short period of 8 seconds and a constant cross-onshore breeze, it's just messy and unrideable.
There's a tiny bit of a longer period on the 28th of August afternoon, with a 12-second period and a bit more energy (222), but again, the wind is cross-onshore. It's a tease. The rest of the forecast is the same story: small, choppy, and poor. We're looking at over two weeks of nothing. This is a real dry spell, folks. It's one of those times where the forecast is consistent, but consistently bad. For a spot that's exposed and can pick up swell, it's a frustrating run. Given the constant wind and small, short-period chop, this setup might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now.
I can't give you a standout session because there isn't one. It's a flat, choppy desert out there.
Rusty.
