The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with ya, there ain’t much good news for the next couple of weeks at Anse Gaulette. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, exposed to swell from the south, wantin’ clean offshore winds from the NNE, but it’s just not gettin’ ‘em. The whole run is plagued by cross-onshore or cross winds, strong at times, keepin’ the ocean bumpy and lumpy – not what a surfer wants to see.
We kick off on Wednesday 29 July with some clouds, a SSE breeze of 19 mph blowin’ cross-onshore, and waves around 6 ft from the southeast, period only 8 seconds. The energy’s moderate at best, sittin’ at 773, but the wind’s just wreckin’ it. Poor surf conditions all day, and that theme just keeps goin’. Thursday the 30th, same story – cross-onshore, moderate to fresh wind, the swell drops right down to 3 ft in the afternoon, period jumps to 16 seconds, but with that messy wind it’s flat-lookin’ and choppy.
Friday the 31st, Saturday the 1st of August, Sunday the 2nd, Monday the 3rd – I’m seein’ swell sizes between 4 ft and 6 ft with periods of 8 to 9 seconds, but that SE wind just won’t let up. Fresh breezes and cross-onshore all the way, scores are zeros across the board. The water temp is ordinary for the time of year, nothin’ notable there.
Now, there’s a couple of days around Tuesday 4 August that almost look interesting – swell hits 8 ft in the morning from the SE, period 9 seconds, with a combined energy jumpin’ into strong territory at 1187. Wind switches to a cross-shore direction, but it’s still blowin’ at 22 mph, which means lumpy cross-chop. The scores only nudge up to a 1 out of 10, so it’s a marginal call – borderline dangerous with that wind. Wednesday the 5th is more of the same but worse, with risk of thunderstorms.
We’ve got a solid stretch from Thursday 6 August through to Sunday 10 August where swell sits from 7 ft up to 8 ft, periods getting longer to 10 seconds, energy readings are strong – like 1295 and 2094 later on. The problem? That wind is mostly cross-onshore at 19 to 22 mph, keepin’ it lumpy and messy. By Saturday 8 August and Sunday 9 August, the wind goes cross-shore again, but still fresh, so while the surf is big enough for experienced surfers, the quality is poor. A couple of days hit a 1/10 marginal rating, but nothin’ I’d call a goer.
By Wednesday 12 August into Thursday 13 August, the swell tops out at 10 ft with a 12-second period – that’s groundswell territory. Combined energy is very strong at 2094 and 2020, but the wind remains fresh cross-onshore from the SSE at 22 mph, so you’re lookin’ at big, blown-out, onshore slop. Only for the truly keen and desperate, and that’s only if you don’t mind fightin’ the wind.
Honestly, there is no standout session in this 16-day window at Anse Gaulette. The swell is there often enough, but the wind is just too strong and from the wrong direction. For a reef break that needs clean conditions, this is a frustrating run. If you’re dead set, maybe gamble on the cross-shore afternoons of 4 August or 8-9 August, but keep expectations real low. That’s the hard truth, mate.

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.
