The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be honest with you – this stretch is looking rough. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but there’s barely a sniff of a decent wave. The wind is just relentless, coming from the south and southeast, and it’s blowing cross-on or cross-shore nearly the whole time. That’s churning up the water and making it a real mess. The swell is there, but it’s not working for us.
The only spot we’ve got on the radar is Anse Gaulette. It’s a reef break, intermediate level, and it’s fairly consistent with a south swell being the best direction. But the wind is the enemy here. From Sunday the 19th right through to Friday the 25th, we’re looking at poor surf conditions with a moderate to fresh breeze. The swell is hanging around 4ft to 8ft, but with that cross-onshore wind, it’s all chop and no shape. The wave energy is moderate to strong (values between 248 and 1089), but it’s not doing us any favours.
Things get a little more interesting from the 27th into early August, but it’s still marginal. The wind does ease up a touch, and we get some cross-shore breezes. The swell is still decent, around 5ft to 7ft, and the period starts to stretch out into the 8-10 second range, which is a bit better. The wave energy is strong (values between 764 and 1054), but the quality is still described as marginal or poor. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, which is a small comfort.
Look, the standout is really just the last few days of July and the first couple of days of August. The 28th of July afternoon might be the best of a bad bunch, with a 7ft SE swell, period around 8 seconds, and a gentle breeze that’s cross-shore. The energy is strong (818) and the score is a 2/10, which is the best we see. The 2nd of August has a similar setup, with a 7ft SE swell and a moderate cross-shore breeze, giving us a 2/10 again. But even then, it’s not exactly something to write home about.
For the rest of the time, it’s a bit of a write-off. The wind is too strong, the direction is wrong, and the swell is just messy. It’s the kind of period where you’d be better off checking the forecast for something else.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
