The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, we’re staring down a pretty bleak run. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't show up for a solid eight days. For the whole first week, it’s just small, weak, and messy with no quality on offer. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the swell is tiny – a real bummer.
The one bright spot, and it’s a long way off, is Tuesday the 22nd of September. That morning at Anne Street Reef, we see a spike of energy. The combined swell energy jumps right up to (608), which is strong. You’ve got a 8ft swell rolling in from the ESE with an 8-second period. The wind is light and cross-on at just 6 mph from the east, which should keep things reasonably clean for a reef break. This is the standout of the whole forecast period, but remember, it’s over a week away, so don’t bank on it just yet. The rest of that week is a mix of marginal surf and onshore junk.
The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
For the first few days, don’t even bother paddling out. It’s a long wait, but that Tuesday morning is the one to circle. Keep an eye on the forecasts as we get closer.
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.
