The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Looking at Anse Gaulette for the next 16 days, and I’ve got to say, it’s a tough one. The surf shows up most days, but the conditions never come together for a good paddle. No real standout session to get stoked about.
Anse Gaulette is a reef break, fairly consistent, open to the south, and the water is warm at 83°F – a touch above normal for this time of year.
Starting Saturday the 12th of September: morning has a 6 ft south swell with 11-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the southeast at 16 mph, making it choppy and poor. Combined energy is moderate at 874. Afternoon drops to 6 ft, wind goes cross at 12 mph, still marginal.
Sunday the 13th is 6 ft from the SSE, cross-on 16 mph, poor. Monday the 14th: morning 5 ft, cross wind 19 mph, lumpy. Afternoon tiny 2 ft but with a long 18-second period – still cross-on and poor. Tuesday the 15th sees 7 ft to 8 ft from SE/SSE with short 8-second period, fresh cross-on winds at 22 mph – lumpy and getting up to 8 ft, so that’s expert territory only, and it’s more for kiting.
Wednesday the 16th through Thursday the 17th holds around 7 ft, period 8-10 seconds, cross-shore winds at 19-22 mph, lumpy cross-chop. Energy in the 600-975 range. Not clean.
Friday the 18th spikes the energy to 1289 in the morning and 1488 in the afternoon – strong to very strong – with 8 ft swell from the SSE, 10-second period. But still cross-shore, lumpy, marginal.
Saturday the 19th: 7 ft dropping to 6 ft afternoon, cross winds, moderate whack. Sunday the 20th: 7 ft to 8 ft, cross, moderate.
From Monday the 21st, the swell fades: 5 ft down to 4 ft, cross-on. Tuesday the 22nd: 4 ft to 5 ft, cross or cross-on. Energy drops below 500, weak to moderate. By Wednesday the 23rd we’re at 2 ft to 2 ft with a very long 19-20 second period – tiny groundswell, still cross-on. The rest of the week into the 27th stays small, under 5 ft, short periods, cross-shore winds.
No true standout. The wind never turns offshore (NNE is what it wants), and we never get that clean, glassy moment. The 18th has the most energy, but the chop ruins it. For the 6 ft days early on, the wind just makes it a mess. It’s a poor run.
Rusty.

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.
