The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for our patch.
Honestly, looking at the 16-day window, it's a pretty grim run for Anse Gaulette. There's nothing here worth paddling out for right now. The whole forecast period is a write-off, with every single session tagged with poor surf conditions. It's rare to see a blank run of this length, but it does happen here. The setup is just not cooperating.
The water's a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 81° with a positive anomaly of 3°, so you won't need a thick suit, but that's about the only positive.
We start off on Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th with a moderate SSE swell around 5 to 6 ft, but the wind is a messy cross or cross-onshore breeze at 12 to 16 mph, just chopping everything up. The swell energy is moderate (between 619 and 1080), but it doesn't matter with that wind.
The whole first week is just more of the same. By Sunday the 16th, the wind picks up to a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore, making it lumpy and horrible even though the swell bumps up to 7 ft. Later that day a very long-period 21-second swell rolls in, but it's buried under that same nasty onshore wind. That long-period groundswell would be a dream for the points and reefs, but not with the wind blowing straight into it.
Things don't let up. From the 17th through to the 28th of August, it's a relentless onslaught of fresh cross-onshore winds from the SE, mostly at 19 to 22 mph. Swell heights fluctuate between 3 ft and 8 ft, but the quality is consistently terrible. The combined swell energy often hits strong levels – like 1436 on the 17th or 1070 on the 25th – but that raw power is useless when the surface is that blown out.
This setup over a reef break with these winds looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There is simply no standout, no window of clean conditions. The only recommendation is to keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.
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.
