The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell ya, it's Rusty here. I've looked over the charts for our little stretch of coast, and I won't sugarcoat it – for the next couple of weeks, it's a bit of a bummer. We're looking at a long, tough stretch where the wind just won't play nice, and the surf quality isn't where we want it to be.
Right now and for the next several days, the only option on the table is Anse Gaulette. This spot is a reef break that works for intermediate crew. The water temp is sitting at a nice 83°F, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
To be straight with you, the outlook is grim. The wind is hammering from the SE and SSE at 16 to 22 mph most days, and it's coming straight across or onshore. That's gonna lock it into a lumpy, choppy mess. The swell is there – it fluctuates from 3ft to 8ft through the period – but it's mostly short-period stuff around 8 to 9 seconds, meaning it's disorganized wind-slop. The combined wave energy hits moderate levels, peaking around 1765 on Thursday the 17th, but with that cross-wind, it won't be any fun.
Look, from now all the way through the 16-day window, there's not a single standout session. We have a massive gap of nothing but poor to marginal conditions. For a stretch of days, including Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 23rd of September, it's mostly a no-go. The best we get are a few "marginal" calls on Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th of September, but that's about it. We see the swell building on the 17th to 8ft and 8ft with a period stretching to 10 seconds, and energy climbing past 1000, but the wind is still ruining it. There's a flicker of long-period swell on the 28th of September with a 16-second period from the S, but it's tiny at 3ft to 4ft, and the wind is still cross-onshore.
Honestly, for this stretch, with the strong cross-shore winds and messy conditions, if you're not a die-hard surfer, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The swell is often in the 5ft to 8ft range, which is a bit much for beginners anyway, and the onshore wind just kills any chance of a clean wave.
Keep the chin up, though. This stretch of coast can turn around fast. But for now, save your energy. The forecasts can change.

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.
