The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Anse Gaulette.
Honestly, it’s a grim outlook. The wind is the story, blowing cross-onshore from the SSE or SE almost every day, often at 18-22 mph, and it’s leaving the ocean lumpy and chopped up. The first whole week through Saturday, August 24th, is a total no-go, with nothing but poor surf every session.
Monday, August 26th, the wind shifts to a true cross-shore direction, but it’s still a stiff breeze at 18 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. The swell is around 8ft from the SE, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the wave energy is moderate (706). That’s a lot of water moving for a messy day – really only for the experts or kitesurfers on the hunt.
Maybe the best chance you’ve got is the morning of Sunday, August 30th. There’s a risk of thunderstorms, but the wind goes cross-shore at 22 mph from the SE. The swell is 7ft from the SSE, with a period of 10 seconds, and the wave energy is moderate-strong (1094). It’s the only session that’s called “marginal” instead of straight-up poor. If you’re a solid surfer and can handle some chop, it’s your best and almost only shot.
Otherwise, the wind is just ruining it. This is a reef break that needs clean conditions from a southerly swell, but the onshore winds are killing the quality. We gotta wait for a change in the weather.
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.
