The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. I’m looking at the forecast for Anse Gaulette, and honestly, things are looking pretty average right now. The water is sitting at 82°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus if you’re just looking for a swim.
But for surfing? We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, and the problem is the wind. It’s coming from the SSE and SE almost the whole time, blowing cross-on or cross-onshore. That’s going to keep the surface lumpy and choppy, making it hard to get a clean ride. The swell is coming from the SSE and SE, which is the optimum direction for this reef break, so the energy is there, but the wind is just ruining it.
The first few days, starting Wednesday the 5th, we’ve got a 5ft swell with 9-second period, but that cross-on wind at 19 mph is going to mess it up. The combined energy is moderate (519), but the ‘poor surf conditions’ label is spot on. Thursday the 6th sees a bigger push, with 10ft swell, but the wind picks up to 25 mph. That’s getting into expert-only territory on size, and with that strong cross-shore wind, it’s going to be a mess. The energy is strong (1593), but it’s not going to be fun.
This pattern of onshore winds and lumpy conditions just keeps repeating. We see a slight improvement in wind strength around the 11th, with the wind dropping to 16 mph, but the swell drops to 5ft and the period is still short at 9 seconds. The energy is weak (600). It’s still choppy, just a little less windy.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope either. The wind stays onshore, and the swell period drops to 8 seconds by the 15th, which is short period and weak energy (694). The last few days from the 18th to the 20th see the swell drop right down to 3ft with a 7-second period. The energy is very weak (161). The wind does back off a bit, but it’s still cross-onshore or cross-shore.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. If you’re desperate, the best of a bad bunch might be the morning of the 11th when the wind is a bit lighter, but it’s still choppy. This stretch is a real write-off for paddle surfing. With that consistent onshore wind and solid swell, this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything else.

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.
