The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this next stretch ain't looking pretty for a paddle. We got a solid 16-day window, and there's a big dry patch right at the start. The first glimmer of anything worth mentioning doesn't pop up until the 29th of July, so that's a good 12-day gap with no recommendations.
Let's start with the main issue: Anse Gaulette (a reef break) is getting hammered by a persistent cross-onshore wind from the SSE and SE for most of this period. The surf is on the small side, bumpy, and just plain messy. The wave energy is moderate, sitting around 250 to 500 (moderate wave energy) for the first week, but it's all bad wind. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 80°, about average for the time of year.
Now, the only two sessions that get a look-in are on the 29th of July. Wednesday morning, the wind finally swings to a cross-offshore from the ESE, which will clean things up nicely. We're looking at a 7ft swell from the SE, but with a period of 9 seconds – so it's a shorter-period windswell, not a groundswell. The energy is a strong 969 (strong wave energy). That afternoon, the wind goes cross-shore, and the swell drops a touch to 6ft, but the energy is still very strong at 1001.
The 30th and 31st of July look like a total write-off again. A massive shot of energy (1639 to 2305) shows up, but it's a long-period S swell (20 seconds plus) buried under a fresh cross-onshore breeze. That kind of long-period groundswell isn't ideal for a spot like this, and with the wind, it's just a washing machine. A couple of sessions on the 1st of August show some size (8ft) but with a short 8-second period and a strong cross-shore wind, making it lumpy and only for the experts.
So, if you're keen, the only window is the morning of the 29th of July. It's not a classic, but it's the cleanest we'll see. The 7ft SE swell will be manageable, and with the wind finally offshore, it might offer a few fun ones. Expect crowds, it's a spot that can get busy. After that, it's back to the wait.
Rusty.

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.
