Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Anne Street Reef. Gotta tell ya straight, the start of this forecast is grim.
We’re lookin’ at a big ol’ gap with nothin’ worth paddlin’ for. From Saturday, July 4th, all the way through Tuesday, July 7th, it’s just no go. The wind’s howling up to 19 mph, it’s all cross and lumpy, and the ocean is a mess. Swell’s there, but you’d be fighting a losing battle. The wave energy is weak to moderate, topping out around 664 (moderate) Monday afternoon, but it’s not worth the paddle out.
There’s a glimmer of hope on Wednesday, July 8th in the morning. We get a proper groundswell from the SE with a long 11-second period – that’s real energy. The swell is a solid 8ft with a combined energy of 2641 (very strong). The wind is cross-offshore from the S at 16 mph, so the waves should be clean and lined up. This is a reef break, so with that size and period, it’s gonna produce some proper, powerful waves. But let me be clear: at that size, this is strictly for the experts. Beginners, you’re gonna get worked. This is the standout of the whole forecast.
Thursday, July 9th morning is another good window with clean, cross-off winds and a SE groundswell at 7ft with a 11-second period. Energy is 1513 (strong). Another solid day for the experienced crew, though a touch smaller than Wednesday.
Then the plug gets pulled. By Friday, July 10th the energy drops, and from Saturday, July 11th through the second week, it’s mostly small and weak. There’s a little blip on Sunday, July 12th morning where it goes dead glassy with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is only 2ft with weak energy at 195. It’s rideable but nothing special. After that, it’s onshore cross-breezes and tiny waves for days, with energy numbers mostly below 100. Don’t plan any surf trips around it.
So, for the full sixteen days, your only real shot is that Wednesday and Thursday window. If you’re good enough, go get it.

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.
