The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this isn't one of those epic 16-day windows where you’re spoilt for choice. We’ve got a lot of nothing on offer for the first few days. The first recommendation doesn’t actually pop up until Monday, the 3rd of August, so we’re looking at a solid gap of flat or messy days from now until then. After that, it's still more about picking the less-average moments than chasing anything epic.

The only break in the game for this period is Anne Street Reef, a very consistent reef setup that’s best with swell out of the ESE. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, which can be a bonus, but it does get crowded sometimes.

Let’s walk through it. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July are basically write-offs – tiny, weak, messy, with cross-shore winds chopping things up. The combined swell energy is pitiful too, barely scraping into the low double digits. Saturday and Sunday of the 1st and 2nd of August see a bit more size, but it’s still junky. The swell bumps up to around 5 ft to 5 ft, but with those short, weak periods (5-7 seconds) and fresh cross-shore winds, it’s all just bumpy, lumpy, and poor.

Now, Monday morning the 3rd of August... this is the one bright spot. The wind swings to a light S at 12 mph, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. Swell drops back to 2 ft, but here’s the kicker – the period jumps to 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading jumps up. It’s not big, but it’ll have shape and push. For a quiet Monday, that’s the standout session. Just be aware those long-period swells can make a reef break a bit wonky, but for a beginner-friendly spot like this, it should offer some fun, clean lines.

After that Monday peak, it’s back to mediocrity. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th are ordinary – tiny 2 ft to 3 ft stuff with light winds that keep it clean in the mornings, but the afternoon onshores ruin it. Thursday the 6th is more of the same with moderate winds. Friday the 7th of August brings stronger SSE winds at 19 mph and a 2 ft swell – lumpy and not worth paddling for.

The weekend of the 8th and 9th of August shows a pulse of size again – 4 ft to 4 ft on Sunday the 9th morning, with a big spike in energy from a SE swell at 9 seconds. The morning clean-up from a S cross-off looks promising, but it's marginal. It could offer a few fun ones if you’re early. Then from Monday the 10th onward, we’re back to small, ordinary surf with occasional glassy patches (like Tuesday the 11th morning with 1 ft and no wind), but nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The later part of the second week, into the 13th and 14th of August, shows a bit more energy again, with some longer period swells (11-14 seconds) but the winds are cross or cross-onshore, so it’s never quite clean.

Overall, Monday the 3rd of August morning is the only true standout for a clean, decent wave. For the rest, it’s a case of picking the lesser evils.

Rusty.

Information about the Anne Street Reef Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Anne Street Reef provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anne Street Reef can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Anne Street Reef 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 (Anne Street Reef) 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 Anne Street Reef 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.
