The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get real about the surf for Anse Gaulette. It’s a dry spell, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. We got strong southeast winds that are just going to be ruining the surface for the foreseeable future.

To start things off on Tuesday the 18th, we're looking at a pretty dismal 5ft of southeastern windswell, with a period just over 8 seconds. The wave energy is weak at 734, and with a 25 km/h cross-onshore wind, it's just full-on chop. Wednesday the 19th isn't any better – 5ft but with a shorter period, and that same cross-onshore wind messing everything up.

The wind backs off a bit on Thursday the 20th, going more cross-shore, but the waves are still small and junky. Then Friday the 21st, the swell jumps up to 7ft, but it comes with a fresh 30 km/h cross-onshore wind. It's just a big, lumpy mess with moderate energy (1210). The weekend is more of the same – some smaller swells on Saturday, a bit bigger on Sunday, but the wind never quits. It’s all just chop.

The following week, the pattern is locked. Monday the 24th has 5-6ft of bumpy waves, and Tuesday the 25th shows 7ft but it's still a write-off. There's a glimmer of hope on Wednesday the 26th when a long-period south groundswell shows up – 3ft but with a super long 19-second period. The energy is strong at 1232, but the cross-onshore wind is still on it, ruining the potential. Thursday the 27th has more of that long-period swell, 4ft with 15-16 second periods and strong energy, but again, the wind just won't let go. It's close, but no cigar.

Friday the 28th brings a big push of short-period windswell, hitting 8ft in the morning, still blown out. That afternoon, another long-period S swell rolls in with an 18-second period and a huge energy reading of 1878, but it's still crossed up. Saturday the 29th has more of that 8ft of poor quality. The 30th and 31st see the return of the long-period groundswell, with 3ft waves at 15-18 second periods and energy readings over 1000. The wind is still up, but this is the best chance we have for some semi-rideable waves, even if they'll be lumpy.

Into the first days of September, it’s the same story. Fresh cross-onshore winds and 6ft of windswell. No end in sight.

This reef needs clean conditions and it's not getting them. It's dead flat calm, blowing hard, and I bet the only people out there will be the kite surfers. If you're a punter, just give it a miss. I'll be watching the charts, but for now, keep the board in the bag.

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.
