The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch at Anse Gaulette is a tough one. It’s not looking good at all, but let’s break down exactly what we're dealing with.
We’ve got a solid, persistent SE swell pushing through most of the period, but it’s constantly battling strong winds. The water temp is sitting around 81°, which is pretty average for this time of year. The biggest issue is that the wind hardly ever lets up – most of the time it’s a fresh cross-onshore breeze turning the ocean lumpy and messy.
Things don’t get going until the 9th of September (Wednesday). The swell drops off a bit to around 3ft from the South, but the period stretches out to 16 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The wind is a light cross-shore, and while the combined energy is moderate (930), the forecast still calls it a marginal session. The real snag is that this kind of long-period swell can break a bit straight on a beach setup like this, so you’re not getting the classic points or reef peeling. It’s a bit of a gamble.
Thursday the 10th brings a jump in size, with 5ft of Southern heave, and the period stays long at 15 seconds. Combined energy is strong at 1533, suggesting some real push out there. But again, that moderate cross-shore breeze leaves a chop, and it’s still marginal at best.
The 11th (Friday) might be the best of a bad lot. You’re looking at 4ft of South swell with a 12-second period, combined energy of 1060 and, crucially, a clear sky with a cross-shore wind. It’s still got that moderate breeze, so a bit of texture, but it’s the cleanest the conditions get in this whole outlook.
After that, from the 12th right through to the 22nd of September, it’s pretty grim. The wind is relentless, mostly fresh cross-onshore, and the swell gets a bit bigger—pushing 8ft at times—but it’s all junky, short-period wind swell. The energy is high (over 1600 on the 18th) but that doesn’t matter when it’s blown to bits. Some of those 8ft days are borderline expert-only territory.
Honestly, for this whole run, the only window with a whisper of a chance is Friday the 11th. Even then, keep expectations low. This is an exposed spot, and it’s copping the full force of the wind. The rest is a blank run of poor to marginal conditions. It’s a shame, but it happens.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change.

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.
