Anne Street Reef Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up. The first real window of surfable waves kicks off on Wednesday morning, July 22nd, with some east swell running at about 5ft. The water’s sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than what we’d usually expect for this time of year. The wind is cross-onshore though, so it’s a bit lumpy, and the combined energy is moderate at 617. It’s more of a look-see session than a standout.

The real highlight, the one you wanna mark on your calendar, is Thursday morning, July 23rd. Anne Street Reef is looking pristine. The swell drops a touch to 4ft from the east, but the wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the sky is clear. The water will be clean, and the combined energy is still a solid 209. This is your best bet for the whole forecast period. The swell direction is a perfect match for the reef, and the conditions are just about as good as it gets. Keep in mind that this spot can draw a crowd sometimes, so get in early.

Friday morning, July 24th, the swell drops to 3ft, but we get a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is weak at 106, but it’s rideable. The afternoon goes downhill with a strong cross-shore wind, so morning is the move.

Saturday morning, July 25th, is another decent look. Swell is back up to 4ft from the east-southeast, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate at 222. Again, the morning is the key.

After that, things get small. Sunday the 26th morning has 2ft waves with clean wind, but the energy is only 60 – it’s a grovel. From Monday the 27th all the way through to Thursday, August 6th, the surf is pretty much non-existent. There’s a long gap of nearly a week and a half with nothing worth getting wet for. The swell drops to 0.6ft to 2ft, and most of the time the wind is wonky. There’s a long period groundswell showing up in the middle of the week, but the heights are just too small to do anything with.

Finally, on Thursday, August 6th, we see a little pulse of life. The swell is only 2ft, but it’s from the southeast, and the wind is offshore. The energy is back up to 99 to 108. It’s surfable, but ordinary. Nothing to get too excited about after that Thursday morning glass-off.

So, bottom line: your best bet, the only real standout, is Thursday morning, July 23rd. Get on it. The rest of the window is a write-off until early August, and even then, it’s pretty marginal.
