The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, talking in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.
Look, it’s a grim picture at Anse Gaulette for the next 16 days. The wind is just stuck onshore or cross-shore, and it’s going to blow the surface to bits every single day.
Water temp is about 82°F, which is a touch warmer than average for the season.
The wave heights will be in the 4 to 8 ft range for the first week, with the combined swell energy hitting around 1049 (moderate) on Friday afternoon. But with the SE wind cranking at 22 mph, it’s all lumpy cross-chop. Not a single clean session in sight.
Going into the second week, the pattern holds. Swell stays in the 4 to 7 ft range with the same persistent wind from the southeast. On Monday the 17th, we see a very long period groundswell of 17 seconds from the south, with energy of 1336 (strong). That’s the kind of swell that gets your heart rate up, but the cross-onshore wind at 19 mph will turn it into a bumpy mess. For a reef break, that long period can make the waves a bit straight and difficult.
By the 20th, the energy drops off into the 400s (weak to moderate), but the wind still hasn’t given us a break.
There is no standout day here. Not one. The wind never goes offshore or even light. It’s a solid run of poor conditions. With the steady onshore wind and the exposed reef, this looks like a kiteboarding window, not a surfing one. If you don’t have a kite, I’d say give it a miss for two weeks. Sometimes the forecast lies, but this one is telling a pretty clear story.

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.
