The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Anne Street Reef. I gotta be straight with you – this stretch of the calendar is looking pretty flat and uninviting. We’ve got a long, long gap of nothing much to get excited about.

We kick things off this Sunday, the 30th of August, and honestly, it’s a rough start. Swell is around 5ft coming from the SE with a short, weak period of 6 seconds, but the wind is a messy cross-shore from the SSE at 16 mph. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year. The combined swell energy is moderate at best (197), but with that wind and chop, it’s a write-off. Monday and Tuesday don’t bring any relief either; the swell drops right off and the wind stays problematic. We’re staring at days of poor surf conditions with barely a ripple worth mentioning through the end of August and into the first week of September.

Now, there are a couple of tiny bright spots, but you gotta keep your expectations real low. On Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, we get a brief moment of glassy conditions with a light NW wind. The swell is tiny though – only 2ft – and from the NE at 8 seconds. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The energy is barely registering (72). If you’re desperate for a glide on a longboard, that’s your window, but don’t expect any power.

Then again on the morning of Friday the 4th, we get clean conditions with a light NNW offshore breeze, but again it’s a tiny 2ft swell from the NE. That’s about it. After that, the pattern of poor surf and onshore junk continues for over another week straight. We get a small spike of windswell on Saturday the 5th with 5ft from the NNE, but it’s accompanied by a fresh cross-onshore wind at 19 mph – messy and lumpy, more for the kite crew than us paddle surfers.

The only other notable moment is the morning of Monday the 7th of September, where a light SW cross-offshore wind cleans up a weak 3ft NNE swell. The energy is still weak (83), and it’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak dribble for the rest of the run.

Overall, the best on offer in this whole outlook is that brief glassy window on Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, or the clean conditions on Friday morning, the 4th of September. They’re not standouts in size, but they’re the only times you’ll find clean, rideable waves. For the rest, you’re better off checking the forecast again later.

Stay patient.

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.
