The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for Anse Gaulette.
To be straight with you, this 16-day window is a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf on offer. From Saturday, August 15th, right through until the very end of the period on Sunday, August 30th, the conditions are just not cooperating. The wind is stuck in a relentless cross-onshore pattern, locking in lumpy, choppy, and messy surf. The water's sitting at about 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The real problem here is that persistent wind. From Saturday afternoon, August 15th, with 19 mph cross-onshore winds, all the way through to the next couple of weeks, we see a consistent 16 to 25 mph cross-onshore breeze. This keeps the surface blown out and ragged, killing any hope of quality. The swell energy varies, but it’s all behind that dirty wind. For instance, even when the swell gets up to 7 ft on Sunday, August 16th, it's paired with a short period and that same onshore wind, making it a total write-off.
There’s a bit more size and power showing up around Monday, August 25th, with a solid 5 ft S swell and a very long 16-second period. The combined swell energy is strong at 1588, but again, it's all wasted by fresh cross-onshore winds. That long period would be magic at a point break or reef, but with the wind howling onshore, it's just going to be a lumpy, bumpy mess.
On the very last day, Sunday afternoon, August 30th, the wind finally shifts to just a cross-shore, and we see a 8 ft SSE swell with moderate energy. It's marked as marginal, but it’s the only glimmer of potential in the whole window. Even so, with that fresh breeze creating lumpy cross-chop, it's not going to be a day for the faint-hearted.
Honestly, for anyone looking to paddle out, it's a blank run. The setup here with all this energy and strong cross-onshore wind might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than traditional paddle surfing. Let's hope the forecasts change, because it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.
