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

Imperial

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Anse de Rémire (L'apcat).

I’m not gonna lie to you, this is a tough stretch ahead. There’s zero good surf in the next sixteen days, and the outlook is pretty flat. We’re looking at a gap of poor conditions that starts now and runs all the way through to the 20th of September.

The swell is tiny, with heights barely scraping 3 ft, and the period is short, mostly around 7 to 8 seconds. That’s weak, wind-swell energy, with the combined energy values in the weak range, like 32 (Saturday the 5th) or 58 (Sunday the 6th). The wind is a constant problem from the east or east-southeast, always cross-onshore, at 9 to 16 mph. That’s chopping it all up. The forecast keeps saying “poor surf conditions” and there’s no score above zero, so no point in pretending.

There’s a little bump in energy around the 9th and 10th of September, where the combined energy hits 187 and 253, still moderate, but the swell direction shifts to NNE with a period of 12 seconds. That’s a longer period groundswell, but the wind is still cross-onshore and the swell height is only 2 ft to 3 ft. It just won’t have the push to get clean. The direction is about right for this spot, but the wind kills it.

Later in the window, from the 16th to the 20th, the swell picks up a little, with heights around 3 ft to 3 ft, but the period drops back to 5–7 seconds. That’s all wind-slop, and the wind stays cross-onshore. The setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the constant cross-shore wind and weak, choppy waves.

The water temperature anomaly isn’t given, so I can’t say if it’s warmer or cooler than usual. For the first break mentioned, Anse de Rémire, the water temp data is not available to comment on.

It’s a blank run, mate. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, there’s nothing to get excited about. Keep the board in the car and wait for a change.

Rusty.
