The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up: this is one of those outlooks where you’re better off leaving the board in the shed for the first week. Anne Street Reef is a reef break that’s very consistent and exposed to the east-southeast, but the conditions are just not playing ball. For the entire first week, from Sunday 13 September right through to the following Saturday 19 September morning, it’s all poor surf – cross-onshore winds, chop, and weak, short-period swell. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The one and only standout in this whole 16-day window comes on Saturday 19 September in the morning. We get a glassy morning with the wind swinging light northeast, and the swell turns on. It’s a groundswell with a very long period of 12 seconds pushing in from the east-southeast, giving us a clean 3 ft. The combined energy jumps to 289 (moderate), and the offshore wind direction (NE) is nicely offshore for this reef. It’s not a massive day, but the quality will be there – clean, glassy waves. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so if you can, get in early. For the rest of Saturday, the afternoon turns cross-onshore and choppy again, so that morning window is the play.
After that, the second week is a pretty flat and scrappy affair. Sunday 20 September morning sees a drop to 2 ft from the southeast with a period of 10 seconds and cross-onshore wind – no good. Monday 21 September is tiny, with the afternoon picking up a messy 4 ft but with a period of only 4 seconds – that’s windswell, not worth paddling out for. Tuesday 22 September morning is glassy again but only 2 ft from the southeast with a period of 7 seconds – too small to get excited about. From there, it’s a long run of poor to tiny surf through to the end of the month, with nothing breaking the pattern.
So bottom line: if you want a wave, you’ve got one real chance – Saturday 19 September morning at Anne Street Reef. Get there early, score the clean 3 ft glassy long-period swell, and you’ll have a session worth remembering. Otherwise, this region is quiet for the next two weeks.
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.
