The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s break this down. It’s gonna be a tough couple of weeks before we see anything worth paddling out for. The first few days are a total loss. We’ve got a fresh cross-onshore breeze making everything lumpy, and the swell is just weak and disorganized (594 on Tuesday morning). Tuesday and Wednesday are all about poor surf conditions, so don't even bother waxing up.
From Thursday the 10th, the size starts to pick up, with the energy jumping to 1654 on Thursday morning, but the wind is still cross-shore and messy. The swell is coming from the south, which is the right direction, but that wind is just ruining it. We’re looking at marginal, onshore slop, nothing rideable in any kind of quality. This pattern of cross-shore wind and poor conditions sticks around through the weekend. There’s a bump to 2.2m on Friday afternoon, but it’s choppy and cross-on, so it’s not going to be any better.
From Sunday the 12th onward, the energy drops way off, sliding into the 600-700 range, with the swell period shortening. It’s all just a soupy mess. By the middle of the next week, the winds are blowing fresh again, and we’ve got over 2m of cross-onshore slop. There’s a brief spike on Thursday the 17th, with energy back to 1018 and the swell hitting 2.5m, but it’s still cross-shore, so it will be far from clean.
Honestly, this is more of a kite-surfing stretch than a paddle-surfing one. With these winds and the setup at this reef, you’re just fighting a losing battle if you’re on a surfboard. The water is 28°, which is normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re getting skunked.
There is one window that might offer a glimmer of hope, around Friday the 18th and into that weekend. The swell is still solid, around 2-2.5m, with moderate energy (over 1200). The wind is still cross-shore, but if it swings into that NNE offshore, this place could finally live up to its potential. But that’s a long shot, and it’s a week and a half out, so I wouldn't be holding my breath. Keep an eye on it, but for now, it's all about staying patient. If the wind does shift, this reef can be a classic.

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.
