About Anse Gaulette
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (219°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (39°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 13). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 26°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Anse Royale, 4.5 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 5 surf spots, 2 wind sports spots and 1 kayak spot.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
