The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a look at the charts for the next 16 days, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got swell running through the period, but the wind is just not playing ball.
Let’s start with the overall pattern. From Tuesday the 14th of July right through to the end of the month, we’ve got a constant stream of SE swell hitting Anse Gaulette. The size is actually there, bumping from 5 ft up to a solid 8 ft on the weekend of the 25th and 26th. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong, hitting a peak of 1282 at that point. The problem is that the wind is hammering us from the SSE and SE, blowing a fresh 18 to 22 mph, and it’s almost always cross-onshore. That’s going to make it lumpy, choppy, and just plain messy.
Now, the water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your bits off if you do go for a look.
The swell period is sitting between 8 and 9 seconds most of the time, so it’s a short-period wind swell. That means it’s going to be weak and disorganised, especially with that wind on it. The water temp is a touch above normal, but nothing to write home about.
The best of a bad bunch? Honestly, there isn’t one. Every single session in the forecast is rated as zero. The only thing that might be slightly less terrible is the morning of Monday the 20th of July. The wind is cross-shore, not cross-onshore, at 15 mph, and the swell is 5 ft from the SE at 8 seconds. It’s still going to be lumpy, but it’s the only time the wind isn’t directly on it. Even then, it’s a short period swell, so the shape will be poor.
Given the constant strong cross-onshore wind and the messy beach break setup, this whole window looks like it’s going to be more interesting for the kite surfers than us. The swell is there, but the quality is just not there for a paddle. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions, with no real standouts. We’re looking at a solid 16 days of nothing to get excited about.
Stay patient, the forecasts can change, but for now, this one’s a write-off.
Rusty.

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.
