The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough run ahead. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a no-go for a decent paddle. We’ve got a persistent, strong cross-onshore wind blowing from the SSE to SE, and it’s just locking in that lumpy, choppy, messy surface. The wind never truly lets up, and the swell quality is poor across the board. There isn't a single standout moment where conditions align for a good session. The only break in the book is Anse Gaulette, a reef setup, but it's not going to do us any favors here. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days from Tuesday the 14th to the end of the week are a write-off. We’re looking at 5 ft to 8 ft of short-period, cross-onshore slop with a fresh breeze. The wave energy is moderate to strong (526 to 1133), but it's all wind-swell junk. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are a little smaller, around 5 ft to 6 ft, but the wind is still a moderate breeze ruining the face. The second week, from the 21st onward, is more of the same: persistent cross-onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and waves that might look like something from a distance but are just a mess up close. The swell gets smaller by the 23rd, dipping down to 2 ft, but even then, a long period groundswell shows up with a 16-second period, which is a tease—it’s just not clean enough to enjoy.
There is absolutely no window for a good surf here. For a spot that’s *fairly consistent*, this is a painfully blank run. If you’re desperate, you’d be looking at this setup and thinking it’s more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn't bother waxing the board.

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.
