The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next few weeks.

Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first few days are a write-off with poor conditions and a messy, onshore wind. Thursday the 31st of July through the weekend all look pretty average at best, so save your energy. The first real sign of life comes on Monday the 3rd of August.

That Monday morning, things turn around. We’ve got a clean 2ft swell from the southeast, and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the south. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (376), and with a period of 13 seconds, that’s a proper groundswell – it’ll have some shape and punch, but it’ll be a bit inconsistent between sets. This is a reef break, so that long period should wrap in nicely. It’s not big, but it’s clean and makeable. The best of the lot so far.

Tuesday the 4th offers a glassy morning, with the wind dropping to nothing. Swell is small again, 2ft from the southeast, and the energy is lower (114). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Wednesday the 5th cleans up again with a light offshore from the southwest, and a little bump to 3ft from the east. Still nothing to write home about, but a fun little session if you’re desperate.

After that, the forecast drops into a long, flat, and poor stretch. From Thursday the 6th all the way through to Thursday the 13th of August, it’s a real desert. Waves stay tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross-on, onshore, or just wrong. There’s a couple of glassy moments on the 9th and 11th, but the swell is barely there. This is a long gap of nothing.

Finally, we get a little spike on Friday the 14th of August. The morning looks promising: a clean 4ft swell from the north-northeast, with a light offshore wind from the west. The energy is solid (240), but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft and lumpy. Still, it’s the biggest we’ve seen in a while and the wind is clean. That’s your best bet for the second week, but it’s a one-off before it fades again.

Overall, the standout is Monday the 3rd of August morning at Anne Street Reef. It’s not a classic, but it’s the cleanest, most lined-up session on offer. The Friday the 14th morning is a close second if you want a bit more size, but it’s short-period and less reliable this far out.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the wind.

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.
