The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight up – the next 16 days here at Anse Gaulette are going to be a write-off for decent waves. There’s no standout session, nothing to get excited about. The whole window is stuffed with onshore and cross-shore wind, and the ocean’s going to be chopped up and bumpy. It’s a tough run.
We kick off on Thursday the 6th of August with a solid 10ft swell from the southeast, period around 10 seconds, but the wind is howling from the southeast at 22 mph, cross-shore, making a total mess. The combined energy is strong (1591), but the wave comment is “poor surf conditions,” and that sums it up. That pattern sticks through the rest of the first week: Friday the 7th has 8ft to 8ft swell with southeast winds at 25 mph, cross-shore and cross-onshore, lumpy and choppy. Saturday the 8th is a bit smaller at 5ft to 7ft, but still cross-onshore wind at 19 mph. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th just keep the same story – southeast wind, 19 to 25 mph, messy surf.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief. From Tuesday the 11th onward, the swell hangs around 5ft to 7ft, but it’s always cross-onshore or cross-shore, with moderate to fresh breezes. Tuesday the 11th is a little lighter at 5ft, wind at 16 mph, but still a choppy cross-on mess. Wednesday the 12th bumps back up to 6ft with 19 mph wind. Thursday the 13th sees a 7ft to 8ft swell from the SSE, period 11 seconds, but the wind stays a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore, ruining any chance. Even as we push into the 17th and 18th of August, there’s a weird spike on Monday the 17th with a 3ft swell but a very long period of 18 seconds – still, the wind is 19 mph cross-onshore, and the energy is strong (1057) but conditions are poor. No glassy windows, no clean waves.
For a reef break exposed to the south, this setup screams for offshore winds from the NNE. We’re getting the exact opposite. Honestly, with this persistent onshore wind and lumpy cross-chop, it’s more of a kite-surfing window than a paddle-surfing one.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothin’ unusual to note. Crowds can pop up at this spot sometimes, but with quality this low, it’ll be quiet.
Hang in there. It tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change. But for now, it’s a long, blank run with no real options.
