The Lowdown
Alright, grab your stick and listen up. Rusty here.
We’re looking at a pretty flat spell out the gate for Anne Street Reef. This spot is a consistent, beginner-friendly reef that likes an ESE swell. The water’s running about 68°, which feels a bit nippier than usual. The first few days are getting hammered by the wind, so don't get your hopes up.
Wednesday the 26th, there’s a sliver of hope in the morning – about 3ft of swell from the ENE, but the period is only 8 seconds, so it’s weak and short-interval stuff with combined energy at 117. Winds are light and offshore though, keeping it glassy. Surfbale, but nothing to write home about. Wednesday afternoon goes to trash with a cross-onshore breeze. Thursday and Friday are absolute write-offs with strong side-shore winds.
Okay, first real highlight. Friday morning, the 28th. The swell is still small, about 3ft from the east, but the wind swings clean and cross-offshore. The combined energy climbs to 221, which is a solid moderate push. This is your first window for a decent wave, even if it’s not big.
The conditions get ugly again pretty fast. We get a long run of onshore winds and lumpy chop through the end of August and into early September. The swell stays small and average.
Now, a potential standout, but it’s a long-range promise. Circle the morning of Monday, September 7th. We see a jump in size to about 4ft from the SSE, and the combined energy hits 280 – a nice moderate punch. The wind will be side-shore, so it’ll be a little tricky, but the swell has some backbone. It looks promising, but with a week to go, treat it as a hopeful.
We finish the run with a couple of glassy mornings on the 10th. The swell drops back to a weak 3ft from the east, but with zero wind, it’ll be slick as glass. Not for a big session, but a great little log ride.
Honestly, this isn’t a classic run. The best bet is that Friday morning on the 28th for a clean, mellow wave, or the long-shot Monday, September 7th if the charts hold up for a bit more juice. Most of the other days are a real battle.
Rusty.

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.
