The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Anse Gaulette over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a tough stretch. The forecast is a real mixed bag of marginal conditions and poor surf, with a lot of wind messing things up. There's no single day that screams "get in the water right now", but we'll dig through the details to find the moments that are worth a look.
The first glimmer of something surfable shows up on Wednesday, September 9th, but it's a rough start. The morning's a write-off with a fresh cross-shore breeze making a lumpy mess of the 3 ft S swell. The afternoon cleans up marginally with a 4 ft S swell, but the crosswind still has a chop on it. The combined energy is moderate (1013), and that 16-second period is proper groundswell, which is a good sign for the reef, but the wind is the enemy here. Thursday morning, September 10th, sees a jump in size to 5 ft from the S, still with a 15-second period, and the energy is strong (1622). But again, that cross-shore wind is putting a chop on it. It's frustrating because the raw ingredients are there, but the wind just won't cooperate.
Friday, September 11th, is your best bet in this first week. The morning's got a 7 ft swell from the SSE, dropping to an 11-second period, with moderate wave energy (1426). The wind is still cross-shore, but it's a manageable 12 mph, and the description is "cross-shore with a cross-chop." It's not clean, but it's the most rideable it's going to get. At 7 ft, this is getting into the territory where it's a bit much for beginners, but for the intermediate crew, it's game on if you can handle the bump. The afternoon gets worse with a cross-onshore wind, so the morning window on Friday is the pick.
The rest of the weekend and into the next week is a real write-off. Saturday, September 12th, drops off in size and energy, and the wind stays messy. From Sunday, September 13th, right through to Wednesday, September 16th, it's a continuous run of "poor surf conditions" with cross-onshore winds and lumpy or choppy seas. The swell is there, but the quality is just not. The wave energy is moderate to strong (up to 816 on the 15th), but it's all wasted by the wind. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, it's more of a kite surfer's day than a paddle surfer's.
We get a little breather on Thursday, September 17th, as the wind swings back to a cross-shore in the morning. The swell is 6 ft from the SE, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the energy is moderate (678). The afternoon sees a pulse of 3 ft S swell with a 16-second period, but it's marginal. Then Friday, September 18th, has a bit more size (7 ft) and energy (1305), but it's still cross-shore with a chop. For the third week, Saturday, September 19th, and Sunday, September 20th, are the same story – cross-shore winds, moderate swell, but nothing clean. The water is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report.
The last few days of the forecast, from Monday, September 22nd, through to Thursday, September 24th, are a total shutout. The wind stays fresh and cross-onshore, bringing lumpy, messy conditions. On the 24th, there's a 2 ft swell from the S with a super-long 22-second period, but the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-onshore, making it an absolute mess. Not worth paddling out for.
So, to wrap it up, the standout moment is the morning of Friday, September 11th. It's not perfect, but it's the most surfable window in a long, average run. The rest of the time, you're wrestling with winds that just won't let up. Keep an eye on it, because things can change, but for now, don't get your hopes up too high.
Rusty.
