Anse Gaulette is located in Baie Lazare and offers a mix of both reef and beachbreak waves. It's a spot that's fairly consistent, especially when the conditions are right. The surrounding scenery is pretty nice, though it tends to attract a fair number of surfers, especially when there’s a decent swell running. The vibe here is laid-back, making it a good place for those looking to catch some waves without too much fuss.
This spot really comes alive with some south and southeast swells, handling sizes starting from around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and can go up from there. You can expect both left and right waves, which is great for surfers looking to mix it up. The waves break over dead coral, so be mindful of that. The best time to hit the water is during mid to high tides, especially with a high spring tide of around 1.8 meters (±6 ft). If the wind is blowing from the northeast, that's usually when the waves get a little cleaner, so keep an eye on the forecast.
Anse Gaulette is well-suited for intermediate surfers who are comfortable navigating a bit of shallow reef and want to experience a variety of wave types. It’s a good spot to practice your skills and enjoy some surf time, but it might not be the best choice for beginners due to the conditions.
