The Lowdown
Right, listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for your stretch of coast, and I gotta be straight with you: it’s a bit of a grim picture for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a long, drawn-out run of onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up what surf there is. The swell’s there, but it’s mostly junky, lumpy, and blown-out. We’re looking at a solid stretch of poor conditions, and there’s not a single standout day in the whole 16-day window. The energy is there, but the wind is just killing it.
We’re starting off in the near-term at Anse Gaulette. It’s a reef break, so it needs some decent conditions to really work, but the wind’s just not playing ball. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no worries there, just your usual tropical warmth. For Wednesday and Thursday, we’re seeing cross-on winds, moderate breezes, and chop, with wave heights around 3ft to 5ft. The period is short on Thursday at 7-8 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit weak and crumbly. There’s some long-period energy coming in on Friday (19 seconds), but it’s arriving with that same cross-on wind, so it’s just going to be a messy, straight wave at this beach-reef setup. It’s a shame to waste it.
The weekend gets worse. Saturday brings a stronger breeze, up to 25 mph, and the swell bumps up to 5ft. It’s going to be messy and lumpy, and with that kind of wind, you’re just fighting it the whole time. The combined energy is strong, reaching 2386, but it’s not doing anyone any good. By Monday, the swell kicks up to a solid 10ft, but the wind is still cross-shore, and it’s just going to be a big, lumpy, cross-chop mess. That’s well over the 8ft mark, so it’s expert territory anyway, and even for them, the conditions look pretty unappealing.
The first week of September just continues the trend. We’re stuck with fresh cross-on breezes, a lot of lumpy conditions, and wave heights staying in the 6ft to 10ft range. It’s not until the 9th and 10th that we see a bit of a shift, with the wind going more cross-shore and a long-period (15-16 second) south swell moving in. But even then, the wind is still fresh and creating a cross-chop, so it’s only a marginal call at best. That’s a good 9 days of waiting for very little.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, there is no surf on offer that I’d paddle out for. It’s a tough run. If you’re really keen, the conditions look more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer, given the strong winds and choppy sea state. But for the paddle surfer, this is a blank run. The swell is there, but the wind is just never going to let it get clean. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so hopefully, the forecasts will change, but for now, I’d find something else to do. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
