The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get honest about the next few weeks. We’ve only got one spot in the frame, and it’s a tough stretch.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the first several days offer nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – not a huge shock, but you’ll feel it.

The first real chance to even think about a wave comes on Friday, July 31st. Over the weekend and into the first week of August, we see some pulses of energy, but the quality is just not there. The wind is often cross or cross-onshore, and the swell direction is mostly out of the southeast, which isn't the optimum for this reef.

Anne Street Reef is a very consistent beginner reef break, exposed to the east-southeast. It’s a spot that can get a few people, so don’t expect solitude. Looking at the first standout, which is a relative term here: Friday morning, August 1st sees a clean 3ft southeast swell (moderate energy at 119). The wind is light and cross-offshore, which is a positive. The swell period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have that proper groundswell push. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

The next window is Sunday morning, August 2nd. We’ve got a 3ft southeast swell, with a longer period of 10 seconds and the combined energy climbs to 182 (moderate). Winds are light and cross-offshore again, keeping it clean. The larger period helps with shape, but it's still a small, short-period swell for the most part. This is a better bet than the Saturday, but it's still a beginner-friendly, small-wave day.

Looking further out, Monday morning, August 3rd is similar: 3ft southeast swell, 12-second period, clean with very light offshore winds. The combined energy is 177. It’s clean, but not exciting.

After that, the swell drops off hard. From Tuesday, August 4th, through to the end of the forecast window on August 9th, the energy falls away. There are days with very small waves (1.0ft to 1ft) and a lot of wind chop on the afternoons. The wind switches onshore a lot, and the swell is tiny. Sunday, August 9th has a bit more size (4ft) but it's cross-onshore and messy.

Honestly, the best of the whole 16 days is those clean, small windows on the weekend of July 31st to August 3rd. It’s not a session for the history books, but if you’re a beginner or just want to get wet, the mornings are your best bet. The wind is the only thing making it rideable. For expert surfers, this is a flat spell. Look for a clean, smallish wave on the morning of the 2nd if you’re keen.

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.
