The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching over to imperial for the landlocked or the old-school crew.
Let’s be straight: this 16-day stretch is a tough one to crack. We’ve got plenty of swell, but the wind is the enemy. Almost every day is cross-onshore or cross, and it’s blowing 15 to 22 mph more often than not. That means a lumpy, choppy surface with next to no glass. The water temp is about 80°F, right where it should be for this time of year, so no complaints on that front.
The first few days are a wash. Tuesday the 25th shows a 6 ft swell from the SE, but it’s got a 16 mph cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is moderate at 694, but the report says it all: poor conditions. Wednesday and Thursday are more of the same – smaller swell with onshore breeze.
Friday the 28th is a little more interesting. There’s a 3 ft south-southwest swell in the morning with a 19-second period – that’s proper groundswell – and the energy is building to 824. But the wind is still 12 mph cross-onshore from the SSE. For a reef break like Anse Gaulette, that long period could line up beautifully, but the wind will mess up the face. The afternoon is a touch bigger at 3 ft, but the wind picks up too.
The last weekend of August into early September is when the energy peaks. Saturday the 29th has a 5 ft SSW swell (18-second period) and a combined energy of 2353 – that’s strong. But it’s paired with 22 mph winds. That’s fresh and lumpy, and honestly, this looks more like a kiteboarding day than a surfing one.
There are a few “marginal” days where the wind drops to a cross-shore. Wednesday the 2nd of September has a 8 ft swell from the SE, 10-second period, and a 19 mph cross wind. The energy is moderate at 1102. You might get a wave, but it’ll be a messy fight.
The one to watch is Tuesday the 8th of September. The afternoon brings a 4 ft swell from the SSW with a 24-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell – and the combined energy is 2736, which is strong. For this reef, that could mean some dreamy, drawn-out lines. But again, the 22 mph cross-onshore wind will likely chop it up. It’s a long way off, so the forecast could change, but keep an eye on it.
So what’s the best of a bad bunch? If I had to pick one, it’d be that Friday morning the 28th with the long-period groundswell. It’s not perfect, but it’s the cleanest setup on offer for Anse Gaulette. Everywhere else, it’s a case of too much wind, or too much chop. Better days will come, but not in this window.
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.
