Alright, let's see what we've got here. The only game in town for the next two weeks is Anne Street Reef. It's a beginner-friendly reef setup, very consistent, and it likes swell from the ESE. The water's sitting at 69° right now, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want that extra layer.

Right off the bat, we're looking at a rough start. Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th are pretty much write-offs with poor surf. The wind is howling from the SSE, creating a lumpy mess. There's some energy building Monday morning, with combined swell energy hitting a moderate 552, but the cross-off wind is just keeping it clean enough to be a marginal call. Not worth paddling out.

Tuesday the 7th morning is similar – clean but marginal, with a 6ft SE swell and moderate energy (502). The wind is a bit better, cross-off from the S, so it's not totally hopeless for a beginner to get a few soft ones, but it's nothing to get excited about.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. Wednesday the 8th sees a proper groundswell arrive. The period jumps to 12 seconds, and the combined energy surges to a strong 1167. But the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the SSE, making the surface lumpy. That's a real shame because there's a lot of power in the water. This is a day for the dedicated surfer who doesn't mind the chop to chase a longer, more powerful wave on the reef.

Thursday the 9th morning is your first real standout in the near term. The swell is 8ft from the SE, with a solid 11-second period and a massive combined energy of 1849 – that's strong. The wind is offshore from the S, making it clean. This is a proper session for intermediate to advanced surfers. It's a bit much for beginners, but for everyone else, this is the call for the week.

Things taper off after that. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are small and messy, with winds swinging around and the energy dropping off a cliff. There's a brief clean window on Sunday the 12th morning with a light NW breeze, but the swell is tiny at 3ft.

Then we hit a massive gap. From Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 15th morning, the swell is almost non-existent. The wind is offshore, which is nice, but there's nothing to ride. This is a blank run.

Now, for the long-range promise. Friday the 17th morning shows a glimmer of hope – a 5ft SE groundswell with a 13-second period and clean conditions. It's promising but still a week and a half out.

But the true standout of the entire 16-day forecast is Saturday the 18th morning. This is the one. The swell is 6ft from the SE with a very long 14-second period, giving you that heavy, powerful groundswell. The combined energy is a beast at 1533. And the wind? Glassy. Dead flat, glassy conditions from the WNW. This is an excellent day for experienced surfers. The long period will mean longer gaps between sets, making the paddle out easier, but the wave will be bowling and fast on the reef. This is a session to mark on your calendar, even if it's a bit of a wait.

After that, Sunday the 19th morning is small and clean again, and then we're back into small, rainy, cross-shore junk through Monday the 20th.

So, bottom line: If you want clean, powerful waves, you're looking at Thursday the 9th morning for the near-term, and then circling Saturday the 18th morning for the long-range gold. Don't bother with the rest.

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.

Anne Street Reef is 3 km (2 miles) from Caloundra. If you plan a holiday in Sunshine Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Caloundra. Caloundra has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
