The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what’s on offer for us over the next couple of weeks at Anne Street Reef.
We’ve got a pretty quiet start, I’m not gonna lie. For the first ten days or so, it’s going to be a real struggle to find anything worth paddling out for. The wind is all over the shop—mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore—and the wave heights are just too small to do anything with. We’re talking ankle-snappers mostly, with a bit of a bumpy surface. The combined swell energy is barely reaching double digits (52) at best early on, and even when it does push up, the quality just isn’t there.
There is a little blip of larger swell around the 8th of September, with the energy jumping to 372 on Tuesday afternoon, but it’s a 7ft cross-shore mess from the SE with a super short period of 6 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s just a washing machine. Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, that Tuesday afternoon might be more interesting for you than a paddle.
Then on the 11th of September, we see the biggest energy of the whole run—697—with swell hitting 8ft from the ESE. But again, the wind is cross-onshore and it’s a crumbly, choppy beast. That's expert-only territory if you’re brave, but it’s not clean.
The one bright spot, and I mean the *only* one worth getting a little excited about, comes on the morning of Sunday the 13th of September. Conditions finally line up: glassy conditions, light offshore wind from the west at just 3 mph, and a clean 4ft swell from the ENE with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 189, so there’s some reasonable push. It’s a beginner-friendly reef break that is very consistent, so the waves will be rolling through. You’ll have to watch the crowds though, as it can get busy sometimes. For a spot that’s been getting hammered by wind for over a week, that Sunday morning glass-off is a real treat.
After that, the energy drops right back off again, with nothing over 100 for the rest of the run. So, if you’re keen, make sure you’ve got that Sunday 13th of September morning marked in the calendar. 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.
