The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta tell ya, it's a tough stretch ahead. We've only got one surf spot on the menu for the next 16 days, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag – more frustration than glory, to be honest. The first decent window to even think about paddling out doesn't show up until Friday the 14th.
Before that, from Tuesday the 11th right through to Thursday the 13th, it's a write-off. The breeze is up and onshore, the water’s all messy and lumpy. You’re looking at 5ft of SSE swell, but with 16 mph winds tearing it up, it's just not worth it. The wave energy is in the moderate range (490-993), but it’s all blown out.
Then Friday the 14th is where it gets interesting and is hands-down the best bet. Anse Gaulette wakes up. We get glassy conditions in the morning – a light 3 mph SSW breeze, just a Slight air. It’s going to be clean. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the SSE, with a nice 11-second period. The combined energy is still moderate (658), but without the wind, it’ll actually have some shape. The afternoon cleans up even more with a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze from the NE. That’s your window. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 81°, so that’s a bonus. If you only get one session in, make it Friday.
Saturday the 15th is a downgrade. The swell shifts a bit more east (SE), still 5ft, but the wind swings onshore, creating a messy cross-chop. Not great.
Then we hit a long, dry spell. From Sunday the 16th all the way through to Wednesday the 27th, it’s a bleak run of poor surf conditions. The wind just doesn’t quit, staying strong and cross-onshore. Even when the swell gets interesting, like on Sunday the 23rd with a long-period 17-second S swell and decent energy (942), or Wednesday the 27th with a massive 22-second SW groundswell pumping in with a colossal 1689 and 3237 combined energy, the wind is a savage 19-22 mph cross-onshore. That kind of wind on a long-period swell like that at a reef setup like Anse Gaulette just means it’ll be a washing machine. It might look more appealing to a kitesurfer than a paddler on those days.
So, to sum it up: The standout is Friday the 14th at Anse Gaulette. Get it while it’s glassy. After that, the forecast is a real bummer for a long time. We’re looking at a near-total blank from the 16th to the 27th with no good windows on the horizon. It’s one of those periods you just have to wait out.
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.
