The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Anse de Rémire (L'apcat). Water temp is a balmy 83°, which is just about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy on that front.
We’re looking at a 16-day window and it’s a real bummer. The first surfable day is Friday, July 17th, but it’s not good. The wind is a constant cross-onshore from the east or southeast, blowing at about 9 mph, and it keeps the surface all chopped up. The swell is tiny – mostly 2 ft to 3 ft from the northeast, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. That’s weak, short-period windswell with no power. The combined energy readings are low, mostly in the 30s and 40s, which is barely anything. The wave comment across the whole period is “poor surf conditions” and the score is a flat zero for every session.
From the 17th right through to August 1st, it’s the same story. There’s a slight bump around July 25th, where the swell hits 4 ft from the northeast with an 8-second period and the combined energy climbs to 386, but the wind is still cross-onshore at 9 mph, so it’s going to be a choppy, bumpy mess. No offshore or glassy conditions in sight. It’s all cross-on or cross, which means blown-out wave faces.
Anse de Rémire is exposed to the swell, and the optimum swell direction is from the northeast, which is what we’re mostly getting, but the energy is weak and the wind is ruining what little shape there is. This break can be inconsistent, and this is a long stretch of flatness. With the wind so persistent and the swell so weak, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a blank run, and the near-term forecast is solid, so don’t get your hopes up.
For the second week, the pattern doesn’t change. Same wind, same tiny swell, same poor conditions. August 1st shows a little more period (10 seconds) but the swell is only 3 ft and the wind is still messing it up. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem. Just a long, flat, choppy wait.
Hang in there, but leave the board in the shed.
Rusty.
