The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna give it to you straight about the next couple of weeks at Anse Gaulette.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak with no real standouts to get excited about. We've got a run of poor surf that just won't let up. The wind is almost always pumping from the southeast, smashing the waves with a messy cross-onshore or cross-shore chop, which just ruins any chance of a clean face.
For the first week, from Saturday the 5th right through to the 13th, it's a write-off. The swell is there, bouncing between 3 ft and 6 ft, but the energy is all over the place, mostly moderate (between 532 and 992). The real killer is that wind. We’ve got a fresh breeze from the SE or SSE at 19 to 19 mph, making it lumpy, choppy, and generally horrible. The water temp is sitting at a warm 81°, which is about average for this time of year, but it’s no consolation when you can't get a decent wave.
There's a slight shift around Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th of September. The swell drops a bit to 5 ft - 5 ft, but the period lengthens to 15-16 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, and the combined energy ramps up to strong levels (1625 on Thursday morning). The problem? The wind is still a fresh cross-shore from the SE at 19 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. It’s a “marginal” call at best, and honestly, with that wind, it's not worth paddling out for.
The second week doesn't get any better. The swell sticks around, getting a bit bigger – hitting 8 ft on the 15th and 8 ft on the 19th. That's expert territory, but with the wind still howling from the SE at 16 to 25 mph, it's just a messy, blown-out mess. The energy is strong (over 1000), but it's all wasted. With that much wind, this setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers.
So, there you have it. A solid 16 days with nothing to recommend. The prevailing wind just has this spot pinned. Keep the board in the car and save your energy for a better forecast.
Rusty.

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.
