The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – we’ve got a 16-day window ahead, and honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about for Anse Gaulette. The whole stretch is a write-off for decent surf. The wind is pretty much locked in from the SSE or SE, blowing cross-on or cross, and it’s never light or glassy. It’s a constant battle with a moderate to fresh breeze, making it choppy or lumpy. The swell hangs around the 3 ft to 7 ft mark, coming from the SE to SSE, with periods mostly short, between 6 and 9 seconds. That’s weak, short-period windswell, not the kind of stuff that makes a reef break like this one sing. The combined energy varies from a weak 227 to a moderate 824, but it’s all for nothing with that wind.
The water is a touch warmer than normal at 80°, but that’s the only bright spot. The optimum swell direction here is from the south, and while the later part of the period does swing around to a long-period S swell, the wind stays onshore, so it’s still messy. For example, on the 28th of July, you get a 3 ft swell from the south with a very long period of 21 seconds – that’s a groundswell, but with 25 mph cross-on winds, it’s just a washing machine. The energy hits 1444, but it’s a total mess. The 30th of July is similar, with a 4 ft S swell at 18 seconds, but again, cross-on wind.
Because of the consistent cross-onshore wind and poor surf conditions every single day, I’d say this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There are no standouts, no hidden gems. The crowds are only “sometimes” an issue, but that’s because nobody would want to be out there. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s pretty normal when the wind doesn’t cooperate.
Rusty.

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.
