Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about Anse Gaulette. We've got a long stretch ahead, and I gotta say, it's a bit of a bummer. The whole 16-day window's looking at a constant cross-onshore wind, which is just gonna mess up the wave faces. There's really no standout day here, no session to get hyped about. The water temp's sitting at about 79°, which is pretty average for this time of year.
The problems start from Saturday, July 11th, and just keep rolling. The swell hangs around 5ft to 5ft, coming from the SSE, but with that cross-onshore wind blowing at 9 to 12 mph, it's all chop. The energy's moderate at best, with readings like 653 and 602, but with those onshore winds, the quality just isn't there. This carries right through the weekend and into the start of the week, with the wind picking up to 15, then 18 mph. By Tuesday the 14th we're seeing 18 mph winds that make things lumpy.
Mid-week, Wednesday the 15th, the swell bumps up to 7ft to 7ft from the SE, still with that 18 mph cross-onshore wind. That's getting into expert territory size-wise, but it's all blown out. Energy is moderate to strong, hitting 734 and 837, but it's just not a paddle-friendly scenario. Later in the week and into the weekend, the 18th and 19th, swell drops a little to 6ft but the wind is still a problem. On the 19th (Sunday), wind shifts to cross-shore for the morning slots, but that still leaves a messy cross-chop.
As we push into the third week, the situation doesn't improve. The wind remains a persistent cross-onshore, 15 to 18 mph, with 4ft to 6ft swell. The energy levels stay moderate to moderate-strong, like 568 and 717, but with that constant onshore wind, it's all chop and lump. There's a bit more energy on the 23rd and 24th, with readings up over 1000 and 1290, but again, it's just not delivering clean waves.
Truth is, this setup with the consistent onshore wind and moderate swell on a reef break makes it look more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle guys. It's a tough run. The only real 'maybe' is Sunday morning, the 19th, when the wind goes cross-shore, but even then, it's marginal at best with 6ft and 8-second period swell. For the rest of the period, it's a survival session at best. Keep an eye on the forecast, because sometimes things shift, but for now, don't get your hopes up.
Rusty.

Information about the Anse Gaulette Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Anse Gaulette provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anse Gaulette can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Anse Gaulette surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Anse Gaulette) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Anse Gaulette may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
