Anse Gaulette Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s look at the outlook for Anse Gaulette in feet and miles per hour.

This 16-day stretch is a real bummer. We kick off with nothing rideable, and the pattern just stays ugly. There’s a long gap of poor conditions, with only a couple of barely-passable moments. Expect a lot of lumpy, cross-onshore wind and messy surf.

The first time you might even consider it is Wednesday the 26th of August in the morning, but it’s a weak one. A tiny 3ft swell from the south with a long 14-second period – that’s groundswell. The combined energy is moderate at 534. But that cross-shore wind and chop ruin it – only a 1/10. The water temp is about average for the season.

Friday the 28th of August afternoon shows a 3ft south swell with a very long 19-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 1044 – that’s moderate to strong. But again, the cross-onshore wind kills the quality, making it a marginal call. Long-period groundswell can be tricky on a beach break, but Anse Gaulette is a reef, so that helps. The wind is still the enemy.

The only session that really stands out is Saturday the 29th of August morning. A 4ft swell from the SSW, a long 18-second period, and while the wind is cross-shore and lumpy, it’s the cleanest option we get. The combined energy is strong at 1970. Still only a 1/10 rating, but with that energy and a somewhat better wind angle, this is your best bet. It’s not perfect, but if you’re jonesing for a wave, this is it. Watch out – 4ft with that period means some real punch. Water’s average temp.

After that, it’s back to strong cross-onshore winds and building swell. By the 31st of August, we’re looking at 10ft waves with messy, dangerous conditions. The energy values hit 2809 – that’s strong. Only for the most experienced, and even they’d be struggling.

The rest into early September is the same story: cross-onshore winds, lumpy surf, and swell from 5ft to 10ft. No clean conditions. No offshore wind. Kite surfers might get a kick out of the wind and swell, but for a regular surfer, it’s a long dry spell.

So, the one and only standout is Saturday the 29th of August morning, for a marginal but energetic session. The water temp is about average the whole time.
