The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s happening this window. The only spot on the radar is Anne Street Reef, a reef break that’s very consistent and works best with an ESE swell. The water’s sitting at 68°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no drama there.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start. Saturday the 8th isn’t offering much – small, weak surf with a combined energy of just 112, and the wind is messy. Best to give it a miss.
Sunday the 9th morning is where it starts to get interesting. That glassy wind is a beauty, and the swell picks up to 3ft from the east with a 9-second period, giving a solid moderate energy reading of 202. It’ll be clean and fun, perfect for a beginner-friendly reef. The afternoon turns to cross-on though, so get out early.
Monday the 10th afternoon is another sneaky good window. The wind swings to a light cross-off, and the swell holds at 3ft from the east, period 8 seconds, energy 207. It’ll be clean and workable, but don’t expect anything epic.
Tuesday the 11th has morning offshore winds from the WSW, but the swell is only 2ft, energy 113. Surfable, but ordinary. The afternoon goes glassy again, still small.
From Wednesday the 12th through to late in the month, it’s mostly a write-off – small, short-period windswell, and the wind is rarely cooperating. The combined energy drops to as low as 50 at times. There’s a brief spike on the 17th and 18th with over 6ft of swell and energy hitting 506, but it’s all cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions – more of a kite session than a paddle surfer’s dream.
The standout window is clearly Sunday morning the 9th of August. That glassy, clean 3ft east swell with moderate energy and a beginner-friendly reef is the best on offer. If you’re after something in the second week, Thursday the 20th morning has a clean 4ft ESE swell (energy 208) with a light cross-off, but it’s a bit further out and less certain.
Otherwise, it’s a pretty lean run here. The reef is consistent, but the conditions just aren’t lining up for more than a couple of sessions.

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.
