Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anse Gaulette over the next 16 days.
Right, listen up. I’m not gonna sugar-coat it. The outlook for Anse Gaulette (Anse-Gaulette) over the next 16 days is a tough one. From Sunday 12 July right through to Monday 27 July, the wind is locked in from the SSE, and it’s coming in strong, smashing across the break. The result is a relentless run of poor surf conditions. The water temp is sitting at 79°F, which is about normal for the time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s average.
The swell energy is there, no doubt. We’re seeing moderate to strong wave energy readings, from 501 up to 1126 at times, especially around the 24th and 25th of July. But it’s all for nothing. The swell is mainly from the SSE and SE, pushing in at 4ft to 8ft, with a period of 8 to 10 seconds. That’s a short-period, wind-affected mess. The breeze is 12 to 25 mph, cross-onshore, and it’s keeping the surface choppy, lumpy, and messy. There’s no clean face for a decent turn.
The best of a bad bunch? Honestly, it’s hard to pick a standout. On the morning of Sunday 12 July, the swell is 4ft, and the wind is at its lightest for the whole period at 12 mph, but it’s still cross-onshore. The wave energy is moderate (501). It’s not good, but it’s the least bad. If you’re absolutely desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. For the rest of it, this is a kite surfer’s setup, not a surfer’s. The wind is strong, the swell is crumbly, and the face is a washing machine.
There is a notable jump in swell size on the 24th and 25th of July, hitting 8ft to 8ft with strong energy (1126). But the wind is howling at 19 mph from the wrong direction, making it a powerful, messy, and dangerous lump. Only for the experts with a death wish, and even then, it’s not worth it.
So, I’m calling it. There are no good surf options in the 16-day window. The wind is the enemy, and it’s not giving up. Sometimes a blank run is just the reality for this spot. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be finding something else to do.

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.
