The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at what’s on offer for Anse Gaulette over the next sixteen days.

To be brutally honest, the outlook is a tough one. This is a reef break that requires some decent conditions to fire, and for the entire forecast window, the wind is relentless. We’re looking at a long stretch of fresh cross-onshore to cross-shore breezes from the SE and SSE, with a bit of ESE thrown in. That is going to leave the surface lumpy, choppy, and honestly just a mess for most of the time. There is very little to get excited about for a paddle surfer.

The water temperature is sitting at a very warm 80°F, which is about average for the time of year at Anse Gaulette, so at least a wetsuit is not on the cards.

Through Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd of September, we’ve got solid swell in the 7ft to 10ft range from the SSE and SE with a moderate period of 10 to 11 seconds. The combined energy is massive, hitting between 1278 and 2121 (moderate to strong wave energy), but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore. The result is “poor surf conditions” – bumpy, blown-out lines. Not worth the paddle out.

Thursday the 3rd through Friday the 4th sees the swell hold around 8ft from the SE with a 10-second period, and the wind backs off just a touch to a cross-shore direction. The rating bumps up to “marginal.” It’s still lumpy cross-chop, but if you were desperate, a bigger board and some patience might just get you a few on the shoulder. The energy is still moderate (around 1182-1318). This is the only faint flicker of hope, and it’s a weak one.

From Saturday the 5th all the way through to Wednesday the 16th of September, it’s a bleak run. The swell fluctuates between 4ft and 7ft, with periods ranging from a short 6 seconds up to a very long 15 seconds on the 10th of September. The 10th brings a massive spike in energy (3565 – very strong), but it’s a long-period SW groundswell that gets absolutely hammered by the same fresh SE cross-onshore wind. That long-period swell at a reef? It should be beautiful, but the wind will ruin it completely. It’s all labelled “poor surf conditions.”

The only real standout, if you can even call it that, is Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th of September. The swell (8ft SE at 10 seconds) is on the bigger side – over the 5ft mark, so it might be a bit much for beginners – and the wind is cross-shore rather than fully onshore. The energy is moderate and the break is fairly consistent, but crowds are possible here. It’s a slim chance for a few lumpy ones, but don't expect anything clean.

Honestly, for a paddle surfer, this is a write-off. The wind is too strong and in the wrong direction for most of it. If you’re a kite surfer, with that strong, consistent SE wind and moderate to strong swell, the setup looks far more interesting than it does for a surfboard. The whole sixteen days? Basically a skunk.

Rusty.

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.

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.
