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

Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a chat about what’s happening at Anse de Rémiure (L'apcat).

To be straight with you, mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day run is looking flat and messy. There’s a long gap right from the start, with nothing worth paddling out for. You’re looking at day after day of small, weak swell and a persistent cross-onshore breeze messing everything up.

The first day with anything on offer is Tuesday, September 8th, but it’s barely a whisper. We’ve got a tiny 2ft NE swell with a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is onshore from the ENE at 9 mph. The combined energy is a weak 56. The water is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for this time of year. The forecast is all “poor surf conditions” and a score of 0 out of 10, so don’t get your hopes up.

That pattern just keeps going. Wednesday the 9th through to Sunday the 13th is the same story: small NE swells around 2ft to 3ft, periods of 8 to 9 seconds, and that onshore wind holding steady at 12 mph. The combined energy does push up to a moderate 164 on the Friday morning (11th September), but with the wind blowing cross-onshore, it’ll be choppy and sloppy. Not worth the drive.

The weekend and into the following week (14th to 16th September) is even weaker, with swell dropping to 1ft and periods as low as 5 seconds. The energy falls off a cliff – down to 40 at one point. That’s basically no wave energy at all.

Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th see a slight bump, with swell heights back to 3ft and periods up to 7 seconds, and the wind eases to a gentle breeze at 9 mph. The combined energy gets into the moderate zone again, hitting 152 on Thursday afternoon. Still, the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be fair-to-middling. The best of a bad bunch, but that’s not saying much.

The rest of the run into the 23rd of September is the same yawn: tiny swells, short periods, and a constant cross-onshore wind. The energy levels are mostly under 100, with a few brief upticks into the low 100s, but nothing that would get a surfer excited.

Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in this whole 16-day forecast. The break is exposed to the swell, and we get swell from the NE, but it’s never got the size or the right wind to make it work. It’s one of those runs where it just doesn’t come together. If you’ve got a kite, this might look more interesting with that consistent side-shore wind, but for a paddle board? Forget it. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, save the wax.

Rusty.
