The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the local stretch.
Straight up, this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a long, dry spell before anything even remotely worth paddling out for shows up. The first real chance of surfable waves doesn’t arrive until the morning of Sunday, August 10th. That’s nearly two weeks of waiting. The forecast for the first week and a half is a wasteland of tiny, weak, wind-affected dribble. The only consistent break we have on the radar is Anne Street Reef, but for most of the window, it’s just not doing anything.
The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent spring suit.
The first flicker of hope comes on the morning of Sunday, August 10th. Anne Street Reef will see a clean 6ft swell from the ESE with a 10-second period, and light offshore winds from the south. The combined energy is strong (678), so there’s some push there. It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The next morning, Monday, August 11th, is the real standout. The swell drops just a touch to 6ft from the east, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, and the wind is light and offshore from the south. The energy is still strong (710), and the conditions are set to be very good. That’s the session to aim for, a solid, clean groundswell wrapping into the reef. Keep in mind, this spot can get crowded, so get there early.
After that, the morning of Tuesday, August 12th, is also worth a look with more clean 5ft east swell and light offshore winds, though the energy drops a little (619).
Don’t get too excited about the week before that. There’s some moderate energy around the 8th and 9th, but the wind is all cross or cross-shore, and the surf quality is poor. It’s a waiting game. The size gets over 7ft on the 8th and 9th, but it’s messy and cross-shore, so that’s for the experts or the kiters. The real window is that Monday morning, the 11th.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, but the 11th is the one.
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.
