The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you—this 16-day window for Anse Gaulette is a tough one. We’ve got a lot of swell rolling through, but the wind is almost never on our side. The water’s sitting at 27°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The overall pattern is a long stretch of poor conditions, with only a couple of fleeting moments that might be worth a look. From Thursday 27 August right through to the end of the first week, it’s mostly cross-onshore winds with moderate to fresh breezes, making things choppy and lumpy. There’s a small gap in the quality on the afternoon of Friday 28 August, where the swell builds from the SSW with a super long period of 19 seconds and the combined energy jumps to 1127 (moderate energy). That’s a groundswell, and it’s best for a reef break like Anse Gaulette, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s only marginal. Still, that’s the standout for the whole period. Swell size is around 3 ft coming from the SSW.
After that, it’s back to poor surf from Saturday 29 August through to Monday 8 September, with fresh cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions. The swell gets big—up to 10 ft on Monday 31 August and Friday 4 September—but with those winds, it’s a mess. That kind of size is for experts only, and even then, the wind will make it tough. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’re into that.
On Tuesday 8 September morning, we get a bit of a break—gentle breeze, cross-onshore, with swell around 4 ft from the SSE at 10 seconds. The combined energy is 634 (moderate), but it’s still only marginal. That’s the last real chance before the window closes out with more poor surf into Wednesday 9 September and beyond.
So, the best bet is the afternoon of Friday 28 August. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only time the swell direction aligns with the optimum (S), the period is long, and the energy is there. Crowds are possible at times, but with conditions so average, it might be quiet. Keep your expectations low and your eyes on the horizon.
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.
