The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.

Honestly, I’m looking at the next 16 days and it’s a tough one for Anse Gaulette (Seychelles). This is a reef setup that’s fairly consistent, but it’s going to be a battle. The wind is just relentless from the SE and SSE, hammering it cross-onshore, and the water temp is sitting about average for the time of year.

The whole period is a write-off for a clean surf session. The wind is howling between 19 mph and 25 mph for the vast majority of the time, making for a lumpy, messy, cross-onshore mess. The swell is mostly from the SE at 5 ft to 10 ft, but with a short period of 8 seconds, it’s just a windswell with no real shape. The combined energy is moderate to very strong (393 to 2780), but it’s all wasted energy because the wind is ruining it.

There’s no standout day. Every single entry in the forecast is marked as poor surf conditions. There’s a brief moment on the 28th of August where the swell shifts to a longer period SSW groundswell (19 seconds), but the cross-onshore wind at 19 mph kills any chance of it being clean. The swell is only 2 ft to 3 ft anyway, so even with the long period, there’s no push.

The 29th of August sees the swell pumping up to 5 ft with a 19-second period, but the wind bumps up to 25 mph from the SSE. That’s a strong, messy cross-onshore. The wave energy is huge (2780), but it’s unsurfable. With that much wind and that kind of swell, this setup is more interesting for the kite surfers than for us.

From the 30th of August through to the 7th of September, it’s the same story. Swell sticks around 5 ft to 10 ft, mostly from the SE, with periods between 8 and 11 seconds. The wind never lets up, staying a solid 19 to 25 mph cross-onshore. The water is going to be a washing machine.

There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. We’re looking at a full blank run for Anse Gaulette. The area is exposed to the trade winds, so this kind of persistent onshore blow is normal for this time of year. It’s a bad run, but it won’t stay this way forever. Forecasts can change.

Stay safe, check the charts, and don’t bother paddling out into that mess.

Rusty.

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.
