The Lowdown
Right, folks, let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Anse Gaulette. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, and exposed to the swell. The water’s about average for this time of year, nothing too unusual there.
First thing you need to know: the start of this forecast is a bit of a write-off. The swell is there, but it’s a mess. We’ve got a moderate cross-shore wind with a cross-chop on Sunday morning, 6th September, with a 5ft swell from the SSE at 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (632). The conditions are just marginal, and it doesn’t get better for a while. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, chopping everything up. For the next several days, it’s a real grind. We’re looking at a solid week of poor surf, with the wind staying stubbornly from the SSE or SE, making it lumpy and choppy.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday, 10th September. The morning is still a bit rough with a fresh cross-shore and lumpy chop, but there’s a 5ft swell from the S, with a long period of 15 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a strong 1565. That’s a proper groundswell with some grunt. The afternoon sees conditions improve a touch, with a moderate cross-shore and a cross-chop. It’s still marginal, but it’s the best we’ve seen. This would be good for a reef break like this, as the long period will wrap in nicely, but that cross-shore wind will keep it from being perfect. The crowd factor is "sometimes", so you might have a few others out, but it won’t be a circus.
The period from Friday, 11th September, through to the end of the first week stays marginal or poor. The swell hangs around, but the wind is just never quite right. The next standout is a bit further out. On Thursday, 17th September, we’ve got a 8ft swell from the SE at 9 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1051). The wind is cross-shore, which is a step up from the onshore muck, and the morning is marginal. That’s a big swell for this spot, and for a reef break, 8ft at 9 seconds will be a solid, powerful wave. It’s in the expert-only zone, so if you’re not feeling confident, give it a miss. The following morning, Friday, 18th September, is even bigger, with an 8ft swell from the SE at 10 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (1245). The wind is cross-shore again, keeping it manageable. Again, that’s for the experienced crew only.
For the best of the entire run, I’d be looking at the morning of Thursday, 10th September. That long period, 5ft groundswell from the S is the most promising wave shape, despite the less-than-ideal wind. It’s a proper reef-break swell direction matching the optimum. The other big highlight is the morning of Friday, 18th September, with that 8ft swell, but it’s a lot more power and a lot less forgiving.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a patience test. The second week has some proper, powerful swells, but they’re for the brave and the skilled. If you’re a beginner, the 5ft to 5ft swells earlier in the second week might be your best bet, but you’ll have to deal with the lumpy conditions.

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.
