The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watching this stretch of coast like a hawk. Right now, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, but don’t write it off just yet – there’s some swell coming, just gotta be patient. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t pop up until Monday the 3rd of August, so we’re looking at a few days of nothing before that.
Let’s start with Anse Gaulette (Mauritius). This is a reef break, exposed to the south, and it’s fairly consistent. The water’s sitting at 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t be needing a thick suit.
The first hint of something rideable comes on Monday the 3rd of August, but it’s marginal. Early morning you’ve got 4 ft from the SE with a 9-second period, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, making it lumpy. The combined energy is moderate at 524. It’s not great, but you could flirt with a few if you’re desperate. Monday afternoon drops to 2 ft from the S with a long 17-second period – that’s a groundswell, but the cross-shore wind still has it messy. The energy is moderate at 554. Not a standout.
Tuesday the 4th of August sees a jump in size. Morning swell hits 8 ft from the SE, period 9 seconds, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, so it’s lumpy. Energy is strong at 1117. That’s getting into the territory where it’s too big for beginners, and with the wind, it’s a bit of a struggle. The afternoon stays around 7 ft from the SE, but the wind swings cross-onshore, and it’s labelled poor. Not your day.
From Wednesday the 5th all the way through to Saturday the 15th of August, the pattern is relentless. Swell hangs around 6 ft to 8 ft, mostly from the SSE or SE, with periods of 9 to 11 seconds. But here’s the kicker – the wind is almost always cross-onshore, often fresh to strong, with a few days of rain showers or thunderstorms. Every single session is described as poor surf conditions. The combined energy is often in the strong range, like 1497 on the 6th of August, but it’s messy out there. The setup with that strong cross-onshore wind and a beach-and-reef layout? Honestly, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s no standout session in this whole run.
The one bright spot? On Sunday the 2nd of August, the afternoon shows a 2 ft swell from the S with a period of 17 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is moderate at 847, and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore. But it’s late, and the swell is tiny. For a reef break like this, longer period swells can shape up nicely, but the wind kills it.
The pick of the entire period? Honestly, there isn’t one. The best on offer is Monday the 3rd of August morning, with 4 ft from the SE, but it’s lumpy. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. Otherwise, this is a blank run for the area – it’s normal for things to go quiet when the wind doesn’t play ball.
Signing off, 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.
