The Lowdown
Right then, let’s be straight with you. I’ve had a good look at the charts for Anse Gaulette, and honestly, it’s a tough beat for the next couple of weeks. The swell is going to be there, size-wise, but the wind just won’t play ball.
We’re looking at a stretch that runs from Monday the 24th of August all the way through to Tuesday the 8th of September, and there isn’t a single session I can get truly excited about. The water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – just over a degree above the norm. That’s nice for a dip, but it won’t save the surf.
The main problem is the wind. It’s coming out of the SE to SSE for nearly every session, and it’s blowing cross-onshore. That means lumpy, choppy, messy conditions. The swell energy is moderate, with combined readings often between 500 and 1000 (moderate), and it jumps up to strong readings like 2181 on Saturday the 29th, and over 2000 into early September. The size gets solid too – we’re talking about 8ft to 10ft on the 1st and 2nd of September. That’s expert territory, and with a short-period, wind-affected 8 to 11 seconds, it’ll be a bumpy, ropy mess.
There are moments where the direction shifts a little to the SSW, and the period stretches out to 18-19 seconds, like on Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th of August. That’s a long-period groundswell, which would normally be a dream for a reef setup like this, but the wind is still cross-onshore at 15-35 km/h. The setup just looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
The whole window is a write-off. There’s no standout, no hidden gem. It’s one of those runs where the area just doesn’t have any good options. It happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards in the car and find something else to do.

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.
