Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let me tell you what I see coming up for Anne Street Reef.
To be honest with you, it’s a pretty grim run of small, messy surf ahead. We’ve got a big gap at the start here with nothing worth paddling out for. The first proper session that’s even worth talking about doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 8th of July, and even then, it's a marginal call.
Before that, we’re looking at a full five days of poor conditions. For Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th we’ve got tiny 2ft swell mixing with onshore or cross-shore winds, creating nothing but crumbly, bumpy lines. Sunday through Tuesday the 5th to the 7th, the swell does pick up, getting up to a messy 8ft by Monday, but the wind is howling from the SSE, cross-shore and chewing it all up. That kind of strength just turns the reef into a washing machine. For beginners, anything over 5ft can be a handful, but the real problem here is the chop.
The standout window, and I mean the only real one we’ve got, lands on Wednesday the 8th of July. The morning is the pick. We’re getting a clean 6ft swell from the SE, with a decent 11-second period. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the south at 12 mph. The combined wave energy is a moderate 833, which is the most push we’ll see all week. This is a proper long-period groundswell, which is ideal for a reef setup like this, giving it shape. The morning session should offer the cleanest, most lined-up waves of the whole outlook. The afternoon holds similar size at 5ft, but it will still be good. Keep in mind this spot can get crowded sometimes.
Thursday the 9th is still surfable but dropping off, with clean 5ft swell in the morning, and by Friday the 10th we’re back under 3ft with only ordinary conditions.
After that, it’s another long dry spell. From Saturday the 11th onward, it’s mostly below 2ft with weak energy, dropping to a flat 0.3ft by Wednesday the 15th. There is a moment of glassy conditions on Wednesday afternoon, but with only 0.3ft of wave height, you’d be better off taking a photo than a board.
So, to sum it up: work the Wednesday the 8th of July if you can. The rest is a write-off.

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.
