The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
Honestly, looking at this whole 16-day window, it’s a bit of a battle. The swell shows up, but the wind just won't get out of the way for the most part. There’s some size, but it’s going to be messy. There are a few windows where it could clean up, but you’ve got to be patient.
The first real highlight is Anse Gaulette on Friday the 11th. We’ve got a solid pulse of 8ft of S/SSE swell with a 12-second period, and the energy is strong, hitting 2045. The wind is a cross-shore at 12 mph, which is better than what we’ll see later. It’s not perfect, but it’s the most power we get in the first week, and it’s the best chance for a proper wave. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 82°, so you won’t need a thick suit. This is a reef break, so that long-period energy will have somewhere to focus. It’s still not going to be glassy, but it’s the one to be out for.
After that, the wheels fall off a bit. The wind goes cross-on and choppy, and the swell drops. There’s a run of days from the 12th through the 14th where it’s just poor, with moderate onshores and lumpy conditions. The surf is there, around 4ft to 6ft, but it’s a mess. This is a good time to do something else.
We get another size increase around the 15th and 16th with 8ft and 6ft of SSE/SE swell, but the period is short, down to 8 seconds, and the wind is fresh and cross-on. That’s a lot of windswell and chop, not really a surfer’s friend. I’d say that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
The long-range stuff around the 24th is interesting though. We see a 4ft S swell pushing in with a 21-second period, and solid energy at 1337. But it’s still forecast to be cross-shore and lumpy. A very long period swell like that, you’d want it to be clean, especially at a reef setup like this. The lack of quality wind means it probably won’t be the standout we’re hoping for, but it’s a promise of things to come. It’s a long way out though, so keep an eye on it, but don’t book your week around it just yet.
Overall, there’s no perfect day in this window. The best on offer is that Friday morning, but don't expect perfection. The rest is a grind. This break is fairly consistent, so it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change.

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.
