The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.
This forecast starts slow. The first real surf recommendation doesn’t show up until Monday morning, August 3rd, so there’s a gap before anything worthwhile.
The best window is Wednesday morning, August 5th. We’ve got a glassy start with a 3ft swell from the east, period of 10 seconds, and moderate combined wave energy of 204. That’s a clean, well-shaped groundswell hitting Anne Street Reef, a very consistent spot that loves an ESE swell. The wind is calm, so the surface will be glassy. For a beginner-friendly reef, this is the standout. Water temps are about what you’d expect for this time of year.
Before that, Monday morning the 3rd has a 2ft swell from the SE with a 13-second period—long period for such a small wave—and a cross-off breeze keeping it tidy. The combined energy is weak at 229. Tuesday morning the 4th is glassy but tiny, with only 2ft and energy at 101.
After Wednesday’s highlight, things go quiet. Thursday the 6th is small and clean but weak. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th have a bit more size, up to 3ft, but the wind picks up and the quality drops. Sunday the 9th has a 4ft swell with a 9-second period, but it’s still marginal.
The second week is a grind. Monday the 10th has a clean 3ft swell, but nothing exciting. The rest of the days are small, weak, and mostly poor. There’s a brief glimmer on Sunday morning the 16th with glassy conditions and a 3ft east swell, but it’s still ordinary. Monday the 17th is glassy but only 2ft.
If you’re picking one session, hit Wednesday morning, August 5th at Anne Street Reef. It’s small but clean, and that’s the best we’ve got.
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.
