The Lowdown
Alright, friends, let's talk about Anse Gaulette.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a rough run we’ve got coming up. The surf is going to be there, but it’s not going to be pretty for a while. The wind is just going to be howling from the southeast for the foreseeable future, leaving the place chopped up and messy. If you’re a die-hard, you might paddle out just to get wet, but you’re not going to be scoring any gems. It looks like a kiter’s paradise more than anything for the next stretch.
The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year, so at least a decent session won’t be a cold one.
Let’s walk through it. Starting this Tuesday, the 18th, it’s a cross-on shore mess with waves around 5ft and 3ft, and it just stays poor. Moderate breeze and chop all day. That trend holds through Wednesday and Thursday, with the swell staying in the 5ft to 5ft range, but it’s all short-period junk, so it’s just not going to have any push or shape.
Friday the 21st, we see a bit of a bump in energy with a 8ft morning and a combined energy reading of 1198, but the wind is still up and onshore, so it’s just going to be lumpy. It’s the same story over the weekend, just onshore and poor.
The following week, from the 24th to the 28th, the pattern doesn’t let up. We’ve got a lot of energy in the water, but it’s all being wasted by the wind. On the 27th and 28th, the wind is going to get even stronger, with gusts up to 28 mph. The swell is going to be pushing 7ft to 8ft, but it’s going to be a complete mess. The combined energy is strong, but it’s un-rideable for a paddle surfer.
As we get into the last couple of days of August and the 1st of September, the swell is really going to kick up, with waves hitting 10ft. The energy readings are in the 2000s, which is strong, but again, the wind has not cleaned it up. It’s just too big and too blown out. From the 30th of August, this solid 10ft swell rolls in, and it’s holding into September, but with the persistent cross-onshore wind, this is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s going to be a battle.
So, there you have it. A lot of swell and a lot of energy, but no clean conditions. If you see the wind drop, then we’re in business, but until then, keep the board in the car and watch from the sand.
