The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Anne Street Reef.

First up, the water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild happening there. The reef itself is a very consistent spot, exposed to the swell and when the conditions line up, it can handle a good south-east groundswell.

Right now, we’ve got a bit of a wait. The first few days are a write-off. Sunday the 2nd is a mess – cross-onshore winds, choppy, and the swell energy is up at 193 but the quality is just poor. Not worth a paddle. Monday the 3rd morning is actually the first bright spot: a clean, cross-offshore breeze with a 2 ft swell from the SE, but the real kicker is the period – a solid 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading is 353, which is moderate-strong. The waves will be a bit small but the shape should be there. This is a decent window for a beginner-friendly session.

Tuesday the 4th morning is glassy, dead calm, with a 2 ft swell from the SE. The energy is lower at 116, but for a clean, small wave session, it’s a good option. The afternoon turns onshore and messy.

Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th offer small, clean waves in the mornings with cross-offshore winds, but nothing to get too excited about – just ordinary surfable conditions.

Then we hit a real lull. From Friday the 7th through to Sunday the 9th, the wind is up and the swell is small and weak. The best of that stretch is Sunday the 9th morning, with a 4 ft SSE swell (247 energy) and clean cross-offshore wind, but the forecast says it’s marginal. Not a standout.

Now, the standout for the whole run is Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning is glassy – dead calm – with a 2 ft swell from the SE and a long period of 12 seconds. The combined energy sits at 200 (moderate), and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions”. For a reef break that works best with an ESE swell direction, this is bang on. The wind is off, the swell is clean, and the crowd can be around sometimes, so get there early if you can. This is the one to circle.

After that, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions. Wednesday the 12th through to Monday the 17th is dominated by strong cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, with fresh breezes up to 22 mph and lumpy, choppy seas. The swell energy spikes up to 415 on the 15th, but with the wind ripping across it, it’s just messy. If you’re a kite surfer, that Saturday the 15th might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.

So, bottom line: wait for Monday the 3rd morning for a clean, small groundswell session, but the real winner is Tuesday the 11th morning. Glassy, clean, with a nice long-period swell. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
