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

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming in for the next couple of weeks.

To be honest, mate, it’s a frustrating run for Anse de Rémiire (L'apcat). The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off, and I’m not sugar-coating it. There’s no stand-out swell, no clean windows, nothing to get the heart racing. The first few days are a washout, and it doesn’t get any better. You’re looking at a long gap of poor conditions with no real surf on offer.

The water temp is sitting right around 83°, which is dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

From the 14th right through to the 29th of July, it’s a parade of cross-onshore winds, mostly from the east and southeast, with the odd break of a cross-shore breeze. The swell is tiny, staying under 3 feet for the bulk of the period, coming from the northeast or east-northeast with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. That’s just windswell junk, no real power or shape. The combined energy readings are all weak, barely cracking triple digits on a few days, like 139 or 177, but it’s all wasted on messy, choppy conditions.

There is a slight bump around the 24th and 25th of July, with swell heights pushing 4 feet on the afternoon of the 24th, and the energy jumps to 338 and then 263. But it’s still cross-onshore, still choppy, and the period is still short. That’s not a surfer’s swell, that’s a kite surfer’s day. The setup here is a beach break, so with that wind and junk swell, the paddle surfer is going to be fighting a losing battle.

The 29th of July afternoon sees the biggest swell of the run at 5 feet and combined energy hitting 400, but it’s the same story: cross-onshore breeze, short period, and the forecast says “poor surf conditions.” Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a grovelly waist-high wave, but it’s going to be a battle with the chop. The only real positive I can squeeze out is that this spot is always crowded, so when it’s this bad, maybe you’ll have the place to yourself.

Bottom line: forget it. This is a blank run. It’s not unusual for this area to go through long flat spells like this. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.

Rusty.
