The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down what’s coming for Anne Street Reef.
It starts slow – the first few days are tiny and poor, not worth wetting a suit. The water is 68°, a bit cooler than usual for this time of year, so plan for a thicker wetsuit.
Things get interesting on Thursday, July 16th, with a 8ft SE swell rocking in the morning. The period is a moderate 8 seconds, and the cross-off wind from the south keeps it clean. The energy is strong (714), but the call is marginal due to tide. The afternoon gets wild with a 10ft swell and strong cross-shore wind – that’s more for the kite crew than surfers.
The weekend of the 18th and 19th is blown out. The swell is big, over 8ft, but the wind is a mess, creating lumpy, choppy conditions. The energy on the 19th is massive (3387 to 4071), but it’s just not clean. Monday the 20th is the same story – too big for the break, even with favorable wind and tide.
The one to really get excited about is Sunday, July 26th morning. The swell drops to a fun 6ft from the ESE, with a long 12-second period – proper groundswell. The wind is light and offshore from the SW, and the energy is a solid 1000. The forecast says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s the session to wait for. The reef will be breaking clean, and with the right tide, it’ll be a good one.
Monday the 27th morning is a solid backup: light offshore, 5ft of E swell, 12-second period, and clean conditions.
The last day, Wednesday the 29th, looks glassy with a 3ft E swell, but it’s small. A nice morning surf if you’re not chasing size.
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.
