The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. I’ll be honest – Anse Gaulette is not cooperating over this 16-day stretch. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, but nearly every day is blown out by strong side-onshore winds and lumpy water. For the first week and beyond, it’s mostly a no-go for a decent surf.

From Tuesday the 11th through the end of the first week, we’ve got a relentless SSE wind at 15 to 19 mph, messing up every session. The swell sits between 5 ft and 7 ft from the SSE, but the wind just tears it apart. Wave energy is moderate to strong (in the 500 to 1000 range), but it’s all wind-affected chop.

There’s one, and only one, real standout. That’s Friday the 14th. Morning and afternoon both go glassy – dead calm, with barely a whisper of wind. The swell drops to a clean 5 ft in the morning and 4 ft in the afternoon, still from the SSE with a solid 11-second period. That’s groundswell, and on a reef you’ll get proper, lined-up waves. Energy is moderate (637 and 551), but the conditions will be perfect. That’s the day to be out there.

After that, Saturday the 15th starts clean with a light offshsore breeze and 4 ft swell, but it’s marginal. By the afternoon the cross-shore wind kicks back up, and it’s poor again. From Sunday the 16th onward, it’s a long, grim run of poor surf – strong winds, lumpy seas, and side-onshore slop. A weird spike on the 17th brings a very long-period 18-second S swell (energy over 1500), but the wind is still blowing 15 mph side-onshore, so it’ll be a windblown mess.

The second week doesn’t improve. Same story: southerly winds, 3 ft to 7 ft of lumpy, choppy surf, and energy levels all over the place. A few days show very long period swells (20+ seconds on the 23rd and 24th), but again, fresh side-onshore wind ruins it. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days.

Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

So, one golden window on Friday the 14th. The rest is a whole lot of wind and chop. Forecasts can change, but right now, aim for that Friday session.

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.
