Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) over the next 16 days.
G’day, it’s Rusty. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – this 16-day window for Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) is a real tough one. For the first week and a half, the northeast swell is tiny, mostly between 2ft and 3ft, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. The wind is stuck on a cross or cross-onshore from the east or southeast, blowing at 9 mph, keeping the surface pretty choppy. The combined wave energy never gets above 163 (moderate at best), but most days it’s weak, well under 100. The conditions are consistently described as “poor surf.” There’s nothing to get excited about. The break is exposed to the northeast, and the swell is coming from the northeast, but it’s just not enough to overcome the messy wind. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the afternoon of Thursday, July 23. The wind swings light from the south at 6 mph, becoming a cross-offshore. The swell is still small at 3ft from the northeast, period 8 seconds, but the wave energy climbs to 163 (moderate). The forecast says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and the water looks clean. That’s your best chance in the entire run – a brief, clean window. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only moment where the wind isn’t ruining it.
After that, Friday July 24 sees onshore wind from the north-northeast, making things messy again. Saturday July 25 has a slightly bigger swell reading of 3ft (energy hits 248 – moderate), but the wind is cross-onshore and fair choppy. Not a winner. The final stretch from July 26 onward goes back to tiny swell and poor conditions.
To be honest, there’s no standout surf here. The single afternoon on July 23 is the only time the wind gives you a break, and even then, the swell is small. It’s a long, mostly blank run. For kite surfing, the persistent cross-shore and cross-onshore winds on those days with moderate swell energy might be more interesting than paddling out. Keep an eye on the forecast, though – it tends not to stay this poor for too long.
Rusty.
