The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Anne Street Reef. This is a reef break, very consistent, and it’s got a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks.
First up, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell. From now until the end of the first week of August, the surf is tiny and messy. Winds are all over the place, mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is small, weak, and short-period. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 200 (146 to 242). Not worth getting wet for.
Things start to look a little more promising around Monday the 5th of August. We get a small pulse of 2ft swell from the SE with a period of 13 seconds – that’s a long period, so it’s got some shape to it. The wind is a light cross-offshore, and the conditions are clean. The combined energy is moderate (356). It’s a beginner-friendly size, but it’s not going to blow anyone away. The glassy morning on Tuesday the 6th with 2ft and a 9-second period might be okay for a quiet paddle, but the energy is low (120). Crowds are listed as "sometimes" here, so you might not have it to yourself.
The real standout, and I mean the absolute standout, is the 14th of August. That Friday morning, we’re looking at 10ft of swell from the ENE, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is light offshore, and the combined energy is a massive 2020. The forecast says it’s too big for this break, and fair enough – 10ft is serious. It’s not for the faint-hearted; this is expert-only territory. The water temp anomaly is a bit colder, but at that size, you’ll be too busy to care. The afternoon on the 14th is similar, with 10ft and a light offshore wind, energy at 1285.
Then the 15th and 16th of August get even bigger. 16ft on Saturday morning with a 11-second period, energy at 5335, and a clean cross-offshore wind. The afternoon is a bit messier with a cross-on wind, but it’s still huge. Sunday the 16th peaks at 13ft to 16ft, with period up to 12 seconds and energy over 10,000 – that’s a proper swell event. The wind is either clean or with a slight cross-on, but honestly, at that size, it’s a big-wave show. This is not for learners or anyone without a tow-in setup. It’s a true standout for the hardcore crew.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The best bet is the 14th of August onwards, but only if you’re experienced and ready for serious size. The reef will be handling it, but it’s going to be a wild ride.
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.
