The Lowdown
Right, well… you’re looking at a pretty grim run ahead for Anse Gaulette (Seychelles), I’m not gonna sugar-coat it. Most of the next couple of weeks is a write-off unless you are absolutely desperate. There are barely any windows that even get to “marginal,” and the wind is just relentless from the south-east, cross or cross-on shore pretty much the whole time. That 19 mph breeze is a constant companion, making everything lumpy and messy.
We start off with nothing usable, a completely blank stretch. The first time we even see a score that might get you in the water is on Tuesday morning, 1st September—but even then it’s only a “marginal” 1 out of 10. We’ve got a 10 ft swell from the SSE with an 11-second period, which carries a heavy combined energy (2134), but it’s completely let down by that fresh cross-shore wind. It’s going to be lumpy cross-chop. The size alone is pushing expert-only territory—way over 8 ft—so beginners should stay away. Honestly, it’s probably more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer given the conditions.
Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are the same story: solid swell, fresh wind, poor conditions. By the time we hit Friday the 4th, the wind actually picks up to 25 mph and the wave state turns “messy.” Not a single standout session in this run. The combined energy figures are high, regularly in the four-digit range, but without clean winds that means nothing for a surfer.
The only other sessions that score even a “2” are on Wednesday morning, 9th September, with a 7 ft SE swell at 8 seconds and moderate cross-shore wind, and Saturday afternoon, 12th September, where we get a 4 ft S groundswell with a long 16-second period and moderate cross-shore wind. That 16 seconds is proper groundswell, which can wrap nicely at this reef—if the wind was right. The break is fairly consistent and a reef set-up is good for that longer period, but with 16 mph cross-shore wind, it’s only just borderline okay. Not a true standout.
Nothing in this 16-day window is worth getting excited about. The only honest recommendation is to keep an eye on the 9th or the 12th if the wind forecast shifts, because at the moment it’s a really bleak outlook. Anse Gaulette is a reef break and it does need the right conditions to shine; right now, it’s just not getting them.
