The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m Rusty, and I’m telling you straight: the next 16 days are a write-off for any decent paddle surfing at Anse Gaulette (Seychelles). There’s not a single recommendation in the whole run. The wind is a constant problem, and it’s a tough one to swallow.

The pattern from now through to the 5th of September is much the same. We’ve got swell rolling in, no doubt about it. The combined energy is moderate to strong (951 to 3518), and the swell height is often in the 5 ft to 12 ft range. But the wind is the killer. It’s a persistent cross-onshore breeze from the SE or SSE, blowing at 15 to 25 mph. That’s going to keep the surface lumpy, choppy, and messy. The wave comment is “poor surf conditions” day after day. There’s no clean window.

For a stretch from the 29th of August into the first days of September, the swell gets big. We’re looking at 10 ft to 12 ft from the SSE and SE, with the energy topping out at 3518. That’s serious power, but with the wind howling onshore, it’s a washing machine. At that size, it’s expert-only territory, but even then, the wind is going to ruin it. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The only real hint of improvement comes right at the tail end. On the afternoon of the 4th of September, the wind swings to a cross-shore and the comment shifts to “marginal surf forecast.” The swell is 8 ft from the SE, period 10 seconds, with moderate energy (1355). It’s not good, but it’s the closest we get to something. Then on the 5th of September, it’s back to poor conditions.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the trades are locked in. It tends not to stay poor forever, and forecasts can change, but for now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
