The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The first couple of days are pretty much a write-off with small, short-period wind swell and a cross-shore breeze messing things up. The energy is weak, around 143, and the water is a bit colder than normal at 68°.
Things start to look up on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning at Anne Street Reef will see a clean little pulse. We’re looking at 2ft of swell from the southeast, but with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading of 397 (moderate) backs it up. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. This is a very consistent reef break, so it’ll be working. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but that long period might make it a bit too straight for the absolute learner, but for the average surfer, it’s a nice little window.
The real standout, though, is shaping up to be Wednesday the 12th of August. We’ve got a solid run of conditions. The morning shows 4ft of east swell with an 11-second period, strong wave energy at 418, and a clean offshore wind from the west-southwest. The afternoon is just as good, with 3ft east swell, 390 energy, and a moderate offshore breeze. This is clean, punchy, and well-shaped. It’s the best on offer by a long shot.
After that, the 14th of August (Friday) morning still has decent form with 3ft east swell, an 11-second period, and a gentle offshore, but the wind gets a bit fresh later in the day. The 15th of August is mostly blown out by strong offshore winds, but the morning is still surfable if you’re keen.
Overall, the first week is a slow burn, but the long-range window from the 12th is the one to circle. It’s a couple of weeks out, so don’t lock it in just yet, but the signs are promising.
Stay stoked,
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.
