Try to gather as much water as he can, suit up into that giant water form and try to break through in a concentrated attack. If he can use water to soften up gaara's defenses, then he could use Water Bullet to end Gaara without having to go against all that sand.

Obviously, environment plays a huge role here since both Gaara and Suigetsu start with minimal material, and both can gather massive power from the environment.

Against gaara, surprises work also well. He needs time to set up his jutsu (since he either needs to gather sand or move massive amounts around into position), so the simplest strategy i can come up with is that Suigetsu doesn't bother at all and just attacks him immediately, wets his sand with any water he conjures and then shoots his Water Bullet through a soft spot. It's difficult to judge exactly how much water Suigetsu can conjure, but if Gaara just has his normal amount (IE his gourd) then i'm fairly sure Suigetsu's normal supply plus whatever amount he can conjure should be enough.
