G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next 16 days at Anse de Rémiire (L'apcat) are a tough watch. The forecast is almost a total write-off for decent waves on a surfboard. We’re looking at a long, long stretch of poor surf conditions with no real standout windows. The swell is weak and onshore, the water is a warm 84° today, which is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only nice thing I can say.
Right now, starting Saturday the 11th, we’ve got a 4ft north-easterly swell with a short 8 second period and a cross-onshore wind from the east at 12 mph. The wave energy is moderate at 293, but it’s all messy and choppy. Not worth paddling out. That same pattern holds through Sunday the 12th – the swell drops to 2ft, and while the wind goes light and cross-offshore in the morning, the energy is weak (78) and the waves are just ordinary. The afternoon turns back to a choppy cross-on.
Monday the 13th through to Thursday the 24th is a depressing run. Swell heights hover between 2ft and 2ft, all from the northeast, with periods of 7 to 8 seconds. The wind is consistently cross-onshore, ranging from a light 6 mph to a moderate 12 mph from the east or southeast. The combined wave energy is almost always in the weak zone, with values like 51, 42, and 36. The conditions are described as “poor” every single session. You’d be fighting a losing battle against the wind and chop for a dribbly closeout.
There is a tiny flicker on Saturday the 25th. The swell bumps up to 3ft in the morning and 3ft in the afternoon, with the energy climbing back to moderate (141 and 174). But the wind is still cross-onshore from the east and east-northeast, and the period is still a short 8 seconds. The surf report still says “poor surf conditions.” It’s a bigger, messier version of the same thing. Not recommended.
The final day on Sunday the 26th has a 2ft to 3ft swell, but the wind stays cross-onshore and the energy is either weak or moderate (70 to 257). Once again, poor conditions.
Honestly, there’s nothing here for a surfer. The only positive is that the water is warm. For paddle surfing, this is a total blank. The setup with the constant cross-onshore wind and small, short-period swell looks far more interesting for kite surfing than for a surfboard. Sometimes the forecast is just a dud, and this is one of those times. Hang tight, Rusty.
