Anse Gaulette Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Anse Gaulette.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty average for this spot. There's waves on the way, but the wind is gonna be the story for most of it, and it's not a good one. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions starting now and running right through to the end of the first week of September. The wind is mostly coming from the SSE and SE, swinging cross-on or cross, and it's hanging around 15 to 22 mph. That's going to keep the surface chopped up and lumpy, making it a real battle. The swell is there, mostly from the S and SSE, ranging from 5 ft to 8 ft, with a moderate combined energy, but it's just not going to be rideable with that wind. There's a bit of a pocket around Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th of September where the wind drops a touch to a cross-shore, and the swell periods get long, around 15 to 16 seconds. That's a proper groundswell. The energy is moderate to strong, and the swell is around 3 ft to 5 ft from the S. But the forecast still calls it marginal, with a cross-chop, so it's not a clean option. If you're desperate, you might pick off a couple, but it's not gonna be fun.

The real standout, the one that gets you out of bed, is looking like Friday the 11th of September. The morning is still a bit cross and lumpy, but the afternoon shapes up. The wind stays a moderate cross-shore at 16 mph, but the swell jumps to 7 ft from the SSE with an 11-second period. The energy is solid, and it's the best score in the whole run. It's a bit on the big side for a beginner, but for an intermediate, it's your best shot. Just remember, if you head out, that offshore wind is from the NNE, so it's not the ideal direction for this spot that likes it from the S. The break is fairly consistent, but crowds are possible, so get in the water early.

After that, it's back to the same old story. The wind picks up again, staying strong and cross-on through the second week, with waves from the SSE building to 8 ft and even 10 ft. The energy gets strong, but with a fresh breeze and lumpy conditions, it's more of a kite-surfing show than a paddling session. The swell period drops to 8-10 seconds, so it's weak, short-period windswell, making it even less appealing. The water is going to be about average for this time of year.

So, to sum it up: the next 16 days are a write-off for clean, quality waves at Anse Gaulette. The one and only real chance to get a decent surf is the afternoon of Friday the 11th of September. Mark it in your calendar, but don't hold your breath for the rest of it.

Rusty.
