The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this forecast for Anse Gaulette is a tough one to write. I’ve looked at the next couple of weeks and there just isn’t any surf worth paddling out for. Not a single day in the whole 16-day window gets a recommendation. Zero. Zip. That’s a long, flat, and blown-out stretch, so don’t hold your breath waiting for a magic session.

The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest suit, but that’s about the only silver lining. The wind is the main problem. It’s coming from the southeast and south-southeast for almost the entire period, which is cross-onshore or straight cross for this exposed reef. That means choppy, lumpy, messy conditions. Every single day is marked as “poor surf conditions” right through to the 16th. There’s no way around it.

We start off on Sunday, August 2nd, with a small 4ft swell from the SSE, but with a moderate cross-onshore breeze, it’s just a washing machine. The energy is moderate (606), but it’s not doing you any favors. Monday is similar, still cross-on and rough. Tuesday the 4th sees a bit more size, pushing 7ft to 7ft, and the energy jumps up to strong territory (928 and 985), but the wind stays fresh and lumpy. That’s not surfable for a normal human—that’s just punishment.

The middle of the week, Wednesday through Friday, keeps the same story. Swells between 4ft and 8ft, but with fresh to strong cross-onshore winds and rain showers on Thursday. The energy readings stay moderate to strong, but the quality is terrible. This is the kind of stuff that will make you want to stay on the beach. Around the 15th, the wind finally starts to shift a bit more southerly, and there’s a hint of it going onshore, but the swell period drops to a weak 7 seconds, which is just not going to produce anything decent. Saturday the 15th finally sees some onshore wind, but the swell is small and short-period, so still a no-go.

It’s not until the 17th that things look slightly less awful. Still, the energy is moderate (822 to 916) and the swell is a jumbly 7ft from the SSE with a short period. The wind finally goes cross-offshore on Monday afternoon, and that’s the first time we see a “clean” conditions note in the entire run. But even then, it’s only rated as marginal, and honestly, with that short period and size, it’s not a standout by any stretch.

The one thing I’ll say is that this spot is fairly consistent for swell, and the fact that it’s been so poor for so long is a bit unusual. Forecasts do change, so keep an eye out, but as it stands, you’re better off finding something else to do for the next two weeks. There are no gems hiding in this forecast.

Rusty out.

A general guide to surfing at Anse Gaulette can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
