The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Anne Street Reef.
Well, we’re starting off with a bit of a wait. The first couple of days are a write-off, with some moderate cross-onshore wind and messy, poor surf. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
The first real window of opportunity pops up on the morning of Thursday, July 23rd. The swell drops to 4ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds, but the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SSW. That’s the key – it’ll clean things right up. The combined wave energy is moderate (208). It’s not a big day, but it’ll be rideable and clean.
Now, the standout for the whole forecast period is the morning of Saturday, August 1st. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the southeast, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. The combined energy is moderate (223). For a reef break, that glassy morning is pure gold. The swell direction is bang on what this spot loves, too. If you can get out there, this is the best session on offer.
Before that, there are a few other mornings that look clean. The morning of Saturday, July 25th, offers 4ft from the ESE with a clean cross-offshore breeze, and the morning of Thursday, July 30th, has 4ft from the southeast with clean conditions. Both are solid options, but not as special as that glassy August morning.
Late in the run, on the morning of Monday, August 5th, we get a small 2ft swell from the east-southeast with a light cross-offshore wind, but it’s pretty weak. Nothing to get too excited about.
Overall, the first week is average. The second week shapes up better, with that glassy Saturday morning being the real prize. Keep an eye on it.
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.
