Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks at Anse Gaulette. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run ahead. The wind is locked in from the south-east, and it’s just hammering this spot day after day with strong cross-onshore flow. That means nothing but lumpy, messy, choppy conditions. Not a single day gets a sniff of clean, glassy surf. It’s a real shame because there is swell, but the wind is just ruining it.
Right from Monday the 6th, we’ve got a 8ft swell from the SE with 22 mph winds. The water temperature is sitting at 80°, pretty much average for this time of year. The energy is moderate, around 817, but the wind is already making it a write-off. Tuesday the 7th is worse, with 25 mph winds and an 8ft swell – that’s getting into expert-only size territory, but honestly, with the wind howling like that, it’s not good for anyone. Wednesday and Thursday keep the pattern going: 5ft to 6ft, but always cross-onshore and choppy.
We finally get a tiny window Friday the 10th morning where the wind switches to just a cross-shore, and the energy drops a bit – still no good, just marginal. The swell period stretches to 10 seconds, which is a bit better shape-wise, but the wind is still nasty.
Saturday the 11th is the same story: a little 4ft to 5ft SE swell, cross-shore wind, and a score that’s barely a whisper. The rest of that week and into the second week stays poor. The wind just doesn’t let up, always from the SSE or SE, blowing at 13 to 22 mph, always cross-onshore. The swell sticks around, sometimes hitting 7ft, but it’s all messy, lumpy, and unsurfable.
Around the 17th of July, Friday afternoon, the period jumps to a very long 16 seconds from the south, and the energy is strong at 1016. That’s a proper groundswell, but again, the cross-onshore wind will turn it into a washing machine at this beach-and-reef setup. That one would be better off at a point break or a reef that handles a longer period, but here, it’s just gonna be a mess.
So, the bottom line: there’s no standout, no best day. If you’re desperate, Friday the 10th morning and Saturday the 11th are the least offensive, but don’t expect much. In fact, if you’ve got a kite, this setup might actually be more interesting than a paddle board for a chunk of this period. I hate to say it, but the gear might stay in the van for a while.
Stay patient, folks. Forecasts can change, and it never stays this poor for long around here.
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.
