The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the cards for Anse Gaulette.
To be straight with you, this 16-day stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a run of mostly poor surf conditions right from the start on Thursday the 27th of August through to the very end. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore and often strong, which is going to leave the surface lumpy and messy. There are no days with clean, offshore glass to get excited about.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 27th sees a 4-foot SSE swell, but with a cross-on wind, it’s just choppy. Friday the 28th has a little more hope on paper with a long-period 19-second SSW groundswell, but the wind is cross-shore at 12-15 mph, so it’s going to be a bumpy ride with a cross-chop. The wave energy is moderate, but the quality just isn’t there.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th get bigger, with swell up to 8 feet, but the wind cranks up to 22-25 mph, making it a strong, messy, cross-onshore mess. The combined swell energy hits strong values, but for paddle surfing, it’s going to be a bumpy, blown-out workout. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Monday the 31st of August pushes the swell to 10 feet, but again, it's fresh cross-onshore winds and lumpy. That’s expert-level size, but with the poor quality, it’s not a good call.
The first week of September doesn’t offer any relief. From the 1st through the 6th, we’ve got consistent 6-8 foot swell from the SSE and SE, with periods around 10-11 seconds, but the wind refuses to let up. It’s a relentless run of fresh cross and cross-onshore conditions. The only slight glimmer is Tuesday the 1st of September morning when the wind goes cross-shore, but it’s still fresh and lumpy with an 8-foot swell – marginal at best.
The second week is a similar story. From the 7th of September onward, the swell drops back to the 5 to 6-foot range, but the wind stays in the 15-22 mph range from the SSE and SE, keeping things choppy onshore or lumpy cross-shore. The combined energy drops to moderate-low levels by the 8th and 9th. There’s a brief moment on the 9th of September afternoon when the wind goes cross-shore, but it’s accompanied by a risk of thunderstorms, so not exactly inviting.
By the 10th and 11th of September, the swell fades to under 3 feet, and the wind is still howling onshore. It’s a quiet, messy end to the forecast.
Overall, there is no standout session in this 16-day window at Anse Gaulette. The water temperature is about 80°F, which is normal for the time of year. But don’t lose hope – the break is fairly consistent, so the next change in weather pattern could flip the script. Forecasts change.

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. If you surf the same spot (Anse Gaulette) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
