The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty average for a proper paddle. There just isn’t a decent window in the forecast for Anse Gaulette. The swell is there, no doubt, but the wind has got it all chopped up and messy, and it’s coming from the wrong direction for this reef. The water’s sitting at 82° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you’re just after a swim, it’ll be lovely, but for surfing, it’s a no-go.
We kick off with a couple of days of moderate cross-onshore breeze and poor conditions. The swell is around 5ft to 5ft, but it’s all over the shop. Then it gets proper heavy from Thursday the 6th of August, with the swell jumping to 10ft and the wind cranking up to 25 mph. That’s way over the limit for a clean wave here, and it’s just going to be a washing machine. The energy is strong too, with readings around 1677, but none of that matters when it’s this messy.
The wind stays fresh to strong out of the southeast for the rest of the first week and into the second week, keeping the surf lumpy and cross-onshore. The swell drops a touch to around 7ft to 8ft, but the conditions are still poor. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, to be honest. The energy is moderate to strong, but the quality is just not there.
We finally see a shift on Monday the 17th of August. The swell drops right down to 4ft and the period stretches out to 12 seconds, but the wind is still cross-shore. It’s a marginal call at best, and to be fair, the 3ft swell with a 17-second period later that day is about as weak as it gets for this spot. It’s a long period groundswell, but it’s just too small and the wind is still messing with it.
The following days, the 18th through the 20th, see the southeast wind and lumpy cross-chop return, with the swell back up to 7ft but still poor. So, the whole 16-day window is a blank run for decent surf. This sort of stretch isn't unusual for the area, but it can change. I’d keep an eye on it, but I wouldn’t be holding my breath.
Rusty out.

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.
