The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Anse Gaulette. It’s a grim 16 days ahead, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. The wind is just hammering this spot from the southeast, never giving us a clean window. The swell is there – the combined energy runs from 631 up to 1493 – but it’s all for nothing when the wind is cross-shore or onshore the whole time. Water temp is about normal for the season.
We start off on Monday, September 14th, with 1.6m of SE swell at 9 seconds, but the wind is 25-30 km/h cross-onshore, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. Tuesday the 15th is bigger, 2 to 2.2m, but the period drops to 7-8 seconds, and the onshore wind is still 35 km/h – it’s ugly. Wednesday the 16th is the same: 2-2.3m, short period, cross-shore. Nothing worth paddling out for.
Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th look a little better on paper – the energy jumps to 1155-1493, swell is 2-2.3m at 9-10 seconds – but the wind is still fresh and cross-shore, so it’s still lumpy. It’s marginal at best. The swell is from SE to SSE, but the optimum for this reef is S, so it’s off-angle too. No standout here.
From Saturday the 19th right through to the end of the month, it’s the same story: 1.4m to 2.1m, 8-9 second periods, and never a proper offshore wind. The only near-decent moment is Thursday, September 24th, when the wind drops to 15 km/h, but it’s still cross-on and the swell is only 1.7m at 8 seconds. Still poor.
There is no good surf in this whole forecast. The wind never plays ball, and the swell direction doesn’t line up with what this reef needs. If you were hoping for a session, you’re out of luck. This is a blank run, and it’s not unusual for this area when the trade winds lock in. Honestly, this looks more like a kitesurf spot than a paddle spot right now. Don’t bother.

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.
