The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

The outlook for Anne Street Reef starts with a bit of a wait. We’ve got a run of poor surf conditions right through the first week, with the only real bright spots being the early mornings of Wednesday the 12th and a couple of sessions further out.

The first session worth mentioning is this Wednesday morning, the 12th. We’ve got glassy conditions with a light WNW breeze, and while the swell is only 2 feet from the east (ESE is what this reef likes), the combined wave energy is very weak at just 78. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The water temperature sits at 69°, which is about average for this time of year.

From there, we hit a long dry spell. The wind goes onshore or cross-shore for days, and the swell stays small and messy. The conditions are labelled as “poor” straight through to the 21st. There’s no real quality on offer.

Now, looking ahead to the second week, things start to look a little more promising. Saturday morning, the 22nd of August, is the first real standout. We’ve got clean conditions with a light southerly cross-off wind, and a 4-foot swell from the east with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 237. The guidance says the optimum swell direction is ESE, so this is a good match. Expect decent, clean waves for the experienced crew.

Then, Sunday morning, the 23rd of August, is the best of the whole outlook. It’s glassy with a light offshore from the NW, and the swell holds at 4 feet from the east, but the period stretches out to 10 seconds – that’s a nice groundswell feel. The energy is moderate at 266. This reef loves that east direction, and with zero wind, it’s going to be clean as a whistle. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Crowds are possible, but on a Sunday morning, it might be worth the punt.

After that, Monday the 24th has a clean morning with a 3-foot easterly swell and a 10-second period (energy 164), but it’s only surfable, nothing special. Then we’re back to small, choppy junk for the rest of the run.

So, bottom line: there’s not much in the first week. Hang tight. The real action is on Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd, with Sunday looking the cleanest and most promising.

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.
