The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's be straight with you – this outlook for Anse Gaulette is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, we're looking at a persistent run of poor surf conditions, with no real standout windows. The predominant wind is a cross-onshore breeze from the SE, which is just not what we want at this exposed reef break that really needs that optimum swell from the south. The water temperature feels about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first few days, from Thursday the 20th through to Tuesday the 25th, are a write-off. The wind is a moderate to fresh cross-onshore, with swell heights ranging from 4 ft to 8 ft, but the quality is shot. The combined wave energy is moderate (around 469 to 951), but it's messy and lumpy. Short period swells of 8 to 9 seconds don't help either. On Tuesday afternoon the 25th, things get a tiny bit better – the wind goes cross-shore, and the comment shifts to "marginal surf forecast," but it's still a score of 1 out of 10, so nothing to get excited about.

Then we hit a real change. From Thursday the 27th of August through to Monday the 1st of September, the wind gets stronger. We're looking at fresh to strong cross-onshore breezes, with speeds up to 25 mph. The swell starts to get some serious energy – on the 28th, the combined energy jumps to 1642, and then 3160 on the afternoon. That's strong wave energy, but it's all wind-affected and messy. The swell period does get long, with a 20-second and 21-second groundswell on the 28th, and 18-second swells on the 29th, but the strong cross-onshore wind just ruins it. These long-period swells would normally be a treat at a reef break like Anse Gaulette, potentially offering powerful, well-shaped waves, but with that wind, it's just a choppy, blown-out mess. The wave heights are around 6 ft to 8 ft, but the comments say "strong cross-onshore and messy" – it's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.

The last week, from the 31st of August to the 4th of September, continues the trend. We see swell heights up to 10 ft, with combined energy sitting around 970 to 1909, but again, the wind is a relentless cross-onshore. The comments are consistently "poor surf conditions" or "fresh cross-onshore and lumpy." There's a risk of thunderstorms on the 31st of August and the 3rd and 4th of September, which just adds to the frustration.

Honestly, I'm struggling to find a positive here. Anse Gaulette is a fairly consistent spot, but when the wind is wrong for that long, there's just no escaping it. There's no single day that stands out as the best on offer – they're all pretty average. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because this pattern can shift, but for now, I'd be looking for a different plan.

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.
