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

Alright, let’s be honest here, folks. This is a tough one. I’ve looked at what’s coming down the pipe for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) and I’m calling it straight – there’s not a single good surf session in the whole 16-day window. Not one. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, the waves are small, and the conditions are just plain messy.

The water temp is sitting around 84°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year... not a big deal, but you’d be wearing boardshorts anyway.

We start today, Friday the 28th of August, with a tiny 2ft ENE swell coming in at 8 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-shore. That sounds okay until you see the combined wave energy is only 93 – weak stuff. The afternoon gets worse: 1ft from the NE with a choppy cross-on breeze. The whole first week is a write-off. Each day from the 28th through to the 3rd of September offers swell under 3ft, short periods, and persistent cross-onshore wind. The energy values are tiny – mostly below 100, which is just pathetic.

Then we hit a little bump around the 5th of September: Saturday morning sees a 3ft swell from the ENE, and the combined energy jumps to 233, which is moderate. But look at the wind – still cross-on. The afternoon is the same, 3ft, 233 energy. Sunday the 6th is similar with 3ft and energy around 156. It’s frustrating because there’s a little extra push there, but the wind just ruins it every time.

The second week is more of the same grind. From the 7th of September right through to the 12th, you’re looking at swell heights between 2ft and 5ft, but it’s always cross-on or choppy. The last day in the window, Saturday the 12th of September afternoon, actually has the biggest swell of the whole run: 5ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds and energy of 340. But again, it’s cross-on and messy. Swell size starts to get into beginner-iffy territory, but it’s all chop and wind.

There’s no standout here. Nothing to get excited about. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you could try a dawn session on one of those mornings with light cross-shore winds, but the waves will be tiny and gutless. This stretch looks way better for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest. Blank runs like this aren’t totally out of the ordinary for this spot. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be finding something else to do.

Stay salty.
