The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s your local surf reporter Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days around Anne Street Reef are a tough watch. The whole stretch is a bit of a struggle, with a massive gap of no real surf on offer. For the first couple of weeks, it’s mostly poor surf conditions, with very little to get excited about.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t kick in until the second week of August. From Wednesday, the 12th of August, we start to see a shift. The swell isn’t huge, but it’s on the way up. On Wednesday morning, the wind swings offshore from the SW, which is a game-changer. The swell is coming from the E at 2ft, but with a period of 13 seconds, that’s some proper long-period groundswell. It’s not going to be a big wave, but the energy is moderate (156). That offshore wind will make it clean as a whistle. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t forget a good spring suit.
The standout session, though, looks like Thursday, the 13th of August. In the afternoon, we’ve got that same E swell, still 3ft, but the period stays long at 11 seconds, and the energy is ramping up to moderate (251). The wind is light offshore from the WSW, practically glassy. This is the best on offer, mate. It’s not a big day, but it’s clean, and the wave quality should be there for a reef break. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that’s a solid window. Just keep in mind, with that longer period, it might be a bit more lined up and less forgiving for the absolute beginners, especially on a reef.
The rest of the forecast is pretty grim. The 11th of August has a morning of glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny at 1ft. The 12th also has a decent morning session, but the afternoon is the real winner. So, if you’re keen, pencil in Thursday the 13th, and maybe the Wednesday morning before it. The long gap before that is brutal – we’re talking about two weeks of nothing good. It’s a bit of a dry spell, but it happens.
Rusty, signing off.
