The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a bust – no good surf on offer. Every single forecast point is either poor or just barely marginal. A total flat spell.
The only break in the mix is Anse Gaulette, a reef setup. Water temp is about 80°, pretty normal for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
Kicking off Wednesday September 2nd, we've got a 8ft SSE swell, but it's a complete write-off. A fresh SE wind at 19 mph is blowing cross-onshore, making everything lumpy and choppy. The combined wave energy is moderate at 1259. Honestly, this looks more like a kiteboarding session than a surf one. Thursday and Friday the swell pumps up to 8ft and even 10ft out of the SE, but the wind stays cross-shore with fresh breezes and thunderstorm risks – just a messy, lumpy soup. Saturday through Tuesday the 8th, the swell drops to 5ft – 6ft, but the wind never relents, staying onshore or cross-shore.
There's a glimmer of hope around September 9th, when the swell period jumps to 16 seconds out of the S – that's a very long period groundswell. Energy is moderate at 903. For a reef, that could have been special, but with the wind still howling cross-onshore at 19 mph, it's a no-go. September 10th has the biggest energy reading of the whole run at 1656 with a 6ft S swell at 15 seconds, but again, the cross-onshore wind kills it.
From the 11th onward, the period drops to 9-12 seconds, and the swell sits between 4ft and 8ft. The wind just won't quit – always from the SE or SSE, always onshore or cross-shore. The energy stays moderate most days, but the quality is terrible. This is one of those stretches where the area goes completely quiet. It doesn't stay this way for long usually, and forecasts can flip, but right now, keep the boards in the shed.
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.
