The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at the coming weeks for Anse Gaulette.
It's a rough start, lads. For the first several days, we're looking at moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds with choppy, lumpy conditions. The swell is there, around 5ft to 7ft from the SSE, but the wind just has it all messy. The water temp is sitting at about 81°, which feels a touch warmer than average for this time of year, a nice little bonus.
Then, around Friday the 14th, things look like they could turn around. We've got a window with light glassy winds forecast for the morning and afternoon. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the SSE with an 11-second period, and combined swell energy is moderate at 629. This is your standout window. The reef at Anse Gaulette should be offering up some clean, workable waves when the wind goes glass. This is the one to circle on the calendar, but keep an eye on it as we get closer.
After that, the outlook gets patchy again. Saturday the 15th has some cleaner conditions but marginal surf size, and by Sunday the 16th, we're back to stronger onshore winds and lumpy seas. The following week looks largely unsurfable with persistent onshore winds and choppy conditions, despite some pulses of larger swell.
There's a bigger pulse of swell expected around Monday the 25th with a very long 17-second period and strong energy (1807), but it comes with fresh cross-onshore winds again, making it a messy proposition for the paddle surfer. That setup looks more like a kite day if anything.
So, the takeaway? Hold out for that Friday window, and don't get your hopes up for much else in this 16-day stretch. The reef at Anse Gaulette can be fickle, but when it's clean, it's worth it.
Rusty.

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.
