The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles. I’ve been staring at the charts for Anse Gaulette, and it’s a grim picture. The whole 16-day window is a bust. No standouts, no hidden gems—just a long stretch of onshore wind and messy surf.
From the get-go, Saturday August 22nd, we’ve got a 6 ft swell from the SE, but the wind is screaming out of the SE at 19 mph, cross-on and lumpy. The wave energy is moderate at 582, but the wind is killing it. That same pattern hangs around all week. The water is about 81°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but you won’t care because the surf is junk.
By Monday August 25th, the swell bumps to 7 ft, and the energy hits 743 (moderate), but it’s still cross-onshore from the SSE at 19 mph. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s weak and won’t hold a shape. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday—same story: fresh cross-onshore breeze, choppy, and poor.
We get a tease on Friday August 28th with a very long 19-second period swell from the SSW, but the height is only 2 ft to 3 ft, and the wind is still cross-on. The energy is 973 (moderate), but with that wind, it’s a washout. On Saturday August 29th, the swell hits 5 ft from the S, with a long 19-second period, but the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-on. The energy is strong at 2601, but it’s a total mess—this is a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle session.
The final week from August 31st to September 6th shows solid swell, with heights up to 10 ft at times and energy over 2000 (very strong), but the wind never lets up. It’s cross-on from the SE at 19 to 25 mph, every single day. The period drops to 10 seconds, so it’s just a lumpy, blown-out mess. For a reef break that likes the swell from the south, the wind is wrong and the direction is all over the place.
The area is fairly consistent, but this run is a blank one. It’s not normal for it to be this poor for this long, but forecasts can change. For now, leave the boards at home. This one’s a washout.
Rusty.
