The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it's a pretty grim stretch. We're looking at a solid 16 days of what I'd call "board-waxin' conditions" rather than "board-ridin' conditions." The whole forecast is a long, flat slog with nothing worth paddling out for. There's a big gap right from the start with no real surf on offer, and it just stays that way.
The only break that gets a mention is Anne Street Reef. It's a reef setup, so it needs the right swell, but the swell just isn't coming. The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 29th is tiny, barely 1.6ft, and cross-shore wind is making a mess of it. Sunday the 30th sees a bump in energy, with a combined swell energy of (314) on the morning, but that's still a weak, short-period swell at 5.6ft, and it's still cross-shore. That's more of a messy, blown-out affair than anything surfable. The water temp is sitting at 68.7°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The week that follows is more of the same. Tiny, weak swells, mostly under 2.3ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, and occasionally cross-off, but never enough to clean up the tiny waves. There's a little moment on Monday the 7th of September, with a clean 1ft on the afternoon, but that's barely a ripple. The whole 16-day forecast is one big blank. For Anne Street Reef, which is usually a very consistent spot, this is a real bummer. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, the ocean is just taking a nap. There's nothing to get excited about.

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.
