The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – this outlook for Anse Gaulette is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a solid 16-day block, and frankly, there’s not a single moment where I’d tell you to grab your board and paddle out. The wind is just relentless, and it’s ruining what could be some decent swell.
The whole period is a write-off for quality surfing. From Tuesday the 21st of July right through to Wednesday the 5th of August, it’s a constant battle with cross-onshore winds. The swell is coming in from the SSE to SE, which is cross-on here, and it’s not a light breeze either – we’re talking 15 to 19 mph winds for the vast majority of the time. That means conditions are consistently described as "poor surf conditions" – choppy, lumpy, and cross-chop. There’s no glassy window, no calm morning, just a solid onshore beatdown.
The swell itself has some size, no doubt. Early on, we see 2 ft to 2 ft, and then it builds. By Tuesday the 28th of July, it’s pushing 3 ft to 3 ft from the SE with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 1349 (moderate) and then 1298. That’s a lot of water moving, but it’s a messy, short-period windswell. That size is only for experienced surfers anyway, and with the wind howling, it’s just a washing machine. Later, on the 2nd of August, there’s a pulse with a longer period of 11 seconds from the ESE, and the energy jumps to 1349, but again, it’s cross-on and choppy. By the 5th of August, you’ve got 3 ft from the SE at 10 seconds and a massive 1734 combined energy – that’s strong wave energy – but it’s all for naught with that wind.
Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, this setup might look interesting. The cross-onshore winds and decent-sized, short-period swell are perfect for getting some air. But for a paddle surfer? There’s nothing here. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but you won’t be in it long enough to care.
It’s a blank run, plain and simple. Anse Gaulette is fairly consistent usually, so it’s a bit of a rough patch, but forecasts can change. For now, I’d save the petrol and wait for a better day.
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.
