G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the waves coming up at Anne Street Reef.

We’ve got a pulse of solid swell moving in, but the wind’s been messy for much of it, so timing is everything. The best window by a long shot is Saturday the 11th in the morning. That’s the standout. You’ll see clean 3ft surf with a 10-second period from the southeast, combined wave energy sitting at 215 (moderate). Wind is a slight air from the SSW, making it near glassy – that’s as good as it gets for a reef break like this. It’s a beginner-friendly spot and very consistent, so the crowd factor will be there (it’s “sometimes” busy), but with conditions that clean, it’s worth sharing the water. The water’s running a bit colder than normal at 69°, about 2° below average – noticeable but not shocking.

Leading up to that, Tuesday the 7th afternoon kicks things off with 6ft from the southeast, but a 16 mph cross-shore from the SSE kills the quality. The combined energy is moderate at 474, but it’s lumpy and poor – only a kite surfer would get excited here. Wednesday the 8th gets pumped up with a 12-second southeast swell hitting 7ft, energy jumping to 1229–1266 (strong). That’s solid, but again, cross-winds at 19 mph making it lumpy and marginal. This is expert territory at this size, but the chop makes it a struggle.

Thursday the 9th drops a bit, with 4ft in the morning under a cleaner cross-off breeze, but the score still says marginal. The afternoon bumps to 6ft but goes back to cross-shore chop. Friday the 10th morning is the next decent look – 6ft, 10-second swell from the southeast, cross-off wind at 12 mph, clean lines, and energy at 1087 (moderate). That’s a solid session, but not quite the peak.

After Saturday morning, the swell fades fast. Saturday afternoon turns onshore and light, Sunday the 12th gives small 3ft waves with light offshore wind – surfable but ordinary. By Monday the 13th it’s tiny 1ft and not worth paddling out. From there, we hit a long gap. From Monday the 13th afternoon all the way through to Wednesday the 22nd, the surf stays weak and poor – heights mostly under 3ft, period dropping to 5–6 seconds, energy under 100 (weak), and the wind keeps flipping cross to onshore. A few mornings show clean conditions, like 3ft on Wednesday the 15th, but it’s too shrimpy to bother.

Bottom line: hit Saturday morning, 11th July – it’s the only true gem in the 16 days. Otherwise, it’s a lot of waiting.

Rusty.

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.
