The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
First up, I gotta be straight with you. The outlook for Anse Gaulette over the next 16 days is a bit of a rough one. This reef break is exposed, and we're getting hammered by a persistent, moderate to fresh breeze from the SSE and SE, which is coming straight across or onshore. It’s going to be lumpy and choppy most of the time, and the conditions are just not cooperating for a clean wave. The water is sitting at 81°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
From Thursday the 30th of July right through to the 5th of August, we're looking at wind-affected, poor surf. The swell is there, between 4ft and 7ft from the SSE and SE, with periods hanging around 8 to 9 seconds, but it's all messy. The combined energy is moderate in the 500-900 range, but it's just not translating into anything rideable. The wind is the main culprit here, making it a bit of a chore.
Things get a little more interesting on the 6th of August, but it's a double-edged sword. The swell jumps up to 10ft from the SE with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy spikes to 1552, which is strong. That's a lot of power, but with the wind still on it, it's going to be a messy, powerful beast. This is strictly for experts only, and even then, it's a gamble. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
We see a few days around the 13th and 14th of August where the wind shifts to a cross-shore from the ESE, and the swell holds at 8ft from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds and strong energy. The forecast calls it "marginal," which is a polite way of saying it's still lumpy, but it's the best of a bad lot. The wind is less onshore, so there might be a few more workable sections, but it's still going to be a challenge.
Honestly, there's no standout day here. The persistent onshore wind is the main problem. If you're determined to get wet, the conditions on the 13th and 14th of August might offer the most manageable cross-shore breeze, but don't expect any magic. It's a tough run for Anse Gaulette, and the blank run of quality surf is likely to continue.
Rusty.
