The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way for Anse Gaulette. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid two weeks where the conditions just aren’t playing ball.
The main issue is the wind. For the entire first week, starting Wednesday the 2nd of September, we’ve got a relentless cross-onshore flow out of the SE and SSE, blowing at 15 to 22 mph. That’s churning up the surface and ruining any chance of a clean face. The swell is actually there – we’re seeing a moderate to strong combined wave energy (1243) on Wednesday morning with a 7ft SSE swell, but with that wind, it’s just a lumpy, choppy mess described as poor surf conditions. This pattern just locks in day after day. Even when the swell builds to 10ft on Friday the 4th, with energy climbing to 1467, it’s still blowing a fresh 22 mph cross-shore wind. That’s too big for beginners anyway, and with that wind, it’s only going to be a battle for experts.
There’s no let-up through the weekend or into the next week. The wind stays onshore, and the surf quality is consistently marked as poor. You’ll see a bit of a drop in size, but the onshore wind remains the story. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there, but you’ll be fighting the chop regardless.
Now, for the second week, things get a little more interesting, but it’s a long-range call so don’t hold your breath. On Wednesday the 16th of September, we finally get a slight break in the wind – a moderate cross-shore breeze. The swell is small, only 4ft, but it’s a long-period groundswell from the south at 16 seconds. That’s a lot of energy for a small wave (1144 combined energy). It’s still only a marginal call, but the longer period could make for some surprisingly fun lines on the reef if the wind holds.
Then, on Thursday the 17th of September, the real wildcard shows up. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the south with a period of 22 seconds. That is a very long period, groundswell of the highest order. The combined energy is a strong 1619, which is incredible for such a small height. This kind of swell at Anse Gaulette, a reef setup, could produce some super clean, long walls if we get that light cross-shore ESE wind. It’s still a marginal forecast, but this is the one standout on the entire chart. If this comes together, it’ll be a session to remember.
To be honest, if you’re dead set on getting wet, the constant onshore wind and beach setup might make this a better week for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing. We’ve got a lot of days with no real recommendation here. But that little window around the 16th and 17th of September is the only glimmer of hope. Keep an eye on it, but don’t book the week off work.
Rusty.

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.
