Right, grab a coffee – let’s have a look at what’s on the table.
Honestly, I’m not gonna sugar-coat it: this run of days from Anse Gaulette is a tough read for any surfer. The setup straight through July 8th and right out for the next couple of weeks just isn’t giving us anything to get excited about. The wind is a stubborn cross-onshore from the SSE and SE, and it barely lets up. That means the surface is always choppy and lumpy, and the wave quality never cleans up enough for a proper paddle. For a surfer, it’s a frustrating stretch.
From Wednesday the 8th all the way through to Thursday the 23rd, every single morning and afternoon slot shows “poor surf conditions” or “marginal.” There is no stand-out session. The swell sits between 4 ft and 7 ft, mostly from the south-southeast or southeast, with periods hanging around 8-10 seconds – that’s fairly short-period windswell territory, not the kind of long lines that wrap cleanly into a reef setup. Even though the break is exposed, the direction and the constant wind make it messy. The combined energy values (480-1000) indicate moderate to strong wave energy, but without a break in the wind, it’s all just wasted power. The odd longer-period swell appears – 16 seconds on the afternoon of the 13th – but the wind ruins it before it even has a chance. And that’s a reef break, so normally we’d hope for a bit of shape, but 25 km/h cross-on wind kills the idea.
The water temperature is about 80°F with an anomaly of 1°F – that’s just normal for the time of year, warm but nothing unusual.
There is simply no day in this forecast window that I could honestly point to and say, “Get in the water.” If the wind ever backs off and goes more offshore (NNE), which is what this spot needs, then there’s potential – but right now, it’s a no-go. For what it’s worth, with this much swell and consistent cross-on wind, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

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.
