Anse Gaulette Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, and I’ll be honest with you – it’s a tough one. The only break on the books is Anse Gaulette, and for the entire 16-day window, it’s looking pretty grim.

We kick things off on Tuesday, July 7th, and right away it’s a write-off. There’s a 7ft SSE swell rolling in, but with a stiff cross-onshore wind howling at 22 mph, the whole setup is lumpy and messy. That combined energy is sitting at 859 (moderate), but it doesn’t matter with that wind. It stays poor right through the first week. The swell sticks around, dropping from 7ft to 4ft, but the wind never lets up – it’s cross-on from the SSE or SE, day after day. We’re talking mostly moderate to fresh breezes that just chop everything up. There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 12th where the wind goes cross-shore and it’s a little lighter (9 mph), giving us a “marginal” call. Swell is 5ft from the SSE, and while it’s still pretty bumpy, that might be the least bad session of the bunch. Still, it’s a long way from good.

The second week doesn’t get any kinder. From Monday the 13th through to Sunday the 19th, it’s the same story: 4ft to 7ft of SSE or SE swell, but with relentless cross-onshore winds, mostly in the fresh breeze range. All of it is rated "poor." The combined energy stays moderate, often in the 500-700 range, and on Wednesday the 15th we see it climb to 722, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph onshore – no good for a clean wave.

Now, there is a weird twist right at the very end. On Monday the 20th, in the afternoon, we see a tiny 2ft swell from the south, but with a period of 21 seconds. That is very long period groundswell, and it pushes the combined energy up to 1080 (strong). The problem? That wind is still howling at 22 mph from the SE, cross-on. The wave might have some energy, but it’ll be blown apart. The same goes for the next two days, July 21st and 22nd, when the swell period is 15 to 16 seconds, and energy spikes to well over 1400 (strong to very strong). But the wind stays fresh and cross-on, so the surf quality is zero. It’s a real shame because the ingredients are there for something special, but the wind just won’t cooperate.

Honestly, for this whole stretch, if you are determined to get wet, look closely at that Sunday the 12th, when the wind is cross-shore and light. That’s the only flicker of hope. But with a reef break that’s a bit inconsistent and exposed to this onshore slop, it’s not what any of us want to hear.

No standouts here, mates. It’s a blank run. The forecasts can always change, but as it stands, Anse Gaulette is a no-go for a proper paddle. The setup for the last few days, with all that energy, honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than for us traditionalists.
