Bring neoprene. Sorry, that is all I have to offer.
Bump for some scavenged pics (not mine):
This is Cap Gaspe, viewed from a plane over the mouth of the St Lawrence. A trail several miles goes along the peninsula to the lighthouse (left center); from there, another trail heads down to a waterfall at the low point (1" right of the lighthouse). Last time we saw good swell coming in from the right of the photo, being surfed by eiders and giant gray seals:

Another pic, again showing no real swell:

Looks like this one is going to be storm-specific. We caught Cap Gaspe during a late nor'easter last time; mid-July might be flat.
And yes, I'll be in my 3/2. Me + Canadian Atlantic = neoprene.
