The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch for Anse Gaulette (Seychelles). Looking at the whole 16-day window, I can't find one session that gets me truly excited. The wind is the main story, and it's a bad one. It's coming from the SSE and SE, which is cross-onshore for this reef, and it's blowing hard. Most days we're looking at a fresh breeze, 15 to 22 mph, and that's going to leave the surface lumpy and chopped up.
We start on Thursday, July 16th, and it's messy right away. A 7 ft SE swell (811 moderate energy) but with a 22 mph cross-onshore, it's a washout. That pattern just keeps repeating. The swell size hangs around the 4 ft to 7 ft mark for most of the first week, with periods mostly between 8 and 9 seconds – a short, wind-affected mix. The energy stays moderate, peaking around 984 on the 25th, but again, the wind ruins it.
We get a weird shift around the 27th of July. The swell drops right off, but the period jumps way up, over 18 seconds, from the SSW. The energy is still moderate, but the height is tiny, like 2 ft to 3 ft. And the wind is still cross-onshore and fresh. So it's a long-period groundswell that's just too small and the wind is still making it ugly.
The very end of the window, on the 30th of July, finally shows a little hope. The swell picks back up to 7 ft from the SE, and the wind goes cross-shore for the afternoon. That's the only time in the whole period we get a "marginal" call. It's still a moderate 16 mph cross-shore, so it won't be glassy, but it's the best you're going to get. The energy is strong at 1007, but it's a short-period 9-second swell.
So, the honest truth? If you're a surfer, you're looking at a long, frustrating blank run. The wind is just relentless. It's going to be nearly two weeks of poor to marginal conditions. The only real chance to get wet is that Thursday afternoon, July 30th, but don't expect much – it's a "maybe get a few lumpy ones" kind of session.
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.
