The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough stretch ahead for Anse Gaulette. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf conditions. The wind is relentless out of the SE and SSE, blowing cross-onshore or cross-shore almost every session, and that’s trashing the wave quality. The water is sitting at 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The forecast starts with Sunday morning, 16 August, and it’s already a mess. Swell is 7 ft from the SE at a short 8 seconds, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind at 22 mph, the wave energy is moderate (1048) and the conditions are lumpy and poor. That’s the story all the way through to the end of August. The swell ticks up and down, hitting 8 ft on Thursday, 27 August, and even 7 ft on Friday, 28 August, but the wind never lets up. The combined energy climbs to strong ranges a few times, like 2120 on 29 August afternoon, but with the wind howling onshore, it’s just messy.
The week of 24 August has some risk of thunderstorms adding to the misery. The only real flicker of hope comes right at the tail end, on 31 August morning, when the wind eases to a moderate cross-shore from the ESE at 12 mph, and the swell is 6 ft from the SE at 9 seconds, with moderate energy (1094). The score is a 2, which is still marginal. For a consistent spot like Anse Gaulette, this kind of blank run is a real bummer, but it happens. Honestly, with the onshore winds and short-period swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep your eyes on the forecasts—things can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
