The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, lookin' at the same forecast but in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, you're gonna be sittin' on your hands for a while. The first real chance to get wet ain't until Saturday, the 12th of September, and even then it's a bit of a dice roll. The water's a bit chilly at Anne Street Reef right now, running about 68°, which is a touch under the average for this time of year.
The first week and a half is a total bust. You're lookin' at waves under 2 feet with no energy, and the wind is all over the place. The energy numbers are in the 40s and 60s, which is basically nothing. It's a proper flat spell. You'd be better off with a kite than a surfboard.
Our first real chance comes on Saturday the 12th of September. The swell jumps up to about 7 feet from the east, and the energy finally wakes up (570). The wind is a light cross-onshore, which is okay for a reef break that's exposed to the east. But at 7 feet, this is for experts only. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it's gonna be a bit of a mess. It's a marginal call, but it's the only game in town.
Sunday the 13th of September keeps that energy rollin' with a 7 foot east swell (527 energy) and slightly lighter winds. Still cross-onshore, but cleaner. Again, this is a big wave, so only for the experienced crew.
By Monday the 14th of September, the swell drops a bit, but it's still in the 6 to 6 foot range with decent energy. The wind is onshore though, which will chop it up. Then it fades out again.
The last entry, on Thursday the 17th of September, is a weird one. It's barely 3 feet, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. For a beginner or someone who just wants to bob around, that's the cleanest water you'll see. But there's no push in the waves.
The pick: Don't get your hopes up too high. The standout is Saturday the 12th of September morning. Yeah, the swell is big (7 feet) and the period is short, but the energy is there (570) and the wind is light. It's the only window where you might get a couple of proper, heavy ones. It's a reef, so it'll handle the size, but expect some lumpy, tricky conditions.
Rusty.

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.
