The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Anse Gaulette.

Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the whole 16-day window looks pretty grim. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions, and I can’t find a single standout moment worth paddling out for. The wind is nearly always cross or cross-onshore, anywhere from 15 mph to 28 mph, and that’s creating a lumpy, choppy, messy surface. The swell is there, but it’s not cooperating with the wind, and the quality just isn’t there.

The pattern starts on Wednesday 19 August with a 5 ft SE swell (8-second period) and 15 mph cross-shore wind. The combined energy is moderate at 588, but the cross-chop makes it a tough paddle. The water temperature is 80°F which is about 2°F warmer than usual, so nothing crazy there – just your typical warm water for this time of year.

We roll through the rest of the week with similar conditions: Thursday 20 August stays 5 ft SE, 19 mph cross-shore, fresh breeze and lumpy cross-chop. Friday 21 August sees a bump to 8 ft SE (9 seconds) in the morning, with combined energy jumping to 951, but the wind is cross-onshore and lumpy, so it’s not surfable. Saturday and Sunday are more of the same – 5 ft to 6 ft, cross-onshore, moderate to fresh breeze, choppy.

The whole first week, 19–25 August, is a write-off. There’s no let-up in the wind. The swell stays in the 5 ft to 6 ft range, period short at 7–9 seconds, so it’s weak and messy.

Moving into the second week, the swell gets bigger but the wind gets stronger. From 27 August, we see 7 ft SE with 25 mph cross-onshore, strong breeze, messy. That’s not paddle surf – that’s kite territory. The combined energy on 28 August afternoon hits 1998 (strong) with a 3 ft S swell at a very long 22 seconds, but the wind is still 25 mph cross-onshore. The long period would make it go straight at a beach break anyway, but this spot is a reef, so it could wrap, but the wind just ruins it.

The 29th of August morning has a 7 ft S swell (19 seconds) and combined energy of 5217 (very strong), but with 28 mph cross-onshore and risk of thunderstorms, it’s only for the mad or the experts. Even then, the wind is messy.

The 30th of August drops to 5 ft S (16 seconds) with 25 mph cross-onshore, still messy. The 31st of August brings a 8 ft SE swell (10 seconds) in the morning, combined energy 1468 (strong), but cross-onshore wind at 19 mph means it’s lumpy.

The first few days of September are similar: 7 ft to 8 ft SE, cross-onshore, moderate to fresh breeze, choppy to lumpy. For a beach–reef setup like this, with that much swell and that much wind, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Bottom line: there’s nothing good on offer in this 16-day window. The wind is nearly always wrong, the swell is either too short-period or too windy, and the water temp is just average. This kind of blank run is more normal for the area when the trades are blowing hard. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.

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.

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.
