The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's be real, this Anne Street Reef outlook is a bit of a tough one. The next two weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring, with no real standout days on the horizon. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than we'd normally expect for this time of year.
We kick things off on Tuesday the 1st with tiny 2ft easterly windswell and a light onshore breeze, making for poor surf. The energy is really weak (85). Wednesday the 2nd offers a glimmer with a glassy start, but the swell is still a pathetic 2ft, and it's only worth a look if you're desperate for a wobbly knee-high wave. The energy is even lower (63). That glassy, clean morning session is the best you'll see for a while.
The rest of the first week is a write-off. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are all plagued by tiny, weak swell (1ft to 2ft) and generally poor wind conditions. The pattern is clear: inconsistent, small windswell and a lot of cross-onshore wind. The energy levels are critically low, often dipping below 50. Even on Monday the 7th, where we get another glassy morning with 2ft swell, the quality is just "ordinary" at best.
Into the second week, the story doesn't improve. We see a small spike of cross-onshore energy on Monday the 14th afternoon, with the swell jumping to 4ft and the combined energy hitting 184. That's the most significant lump of the whole period, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NNE, making it messy and choppy. It's a bit of a tease. The following Tuesday morning the 15th looks clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is back down to 2ft with a weak 72 of energy.
The bottom line is that this is a long, flat spell. The forecast shows almost no periods with what I'd call decent surf. It's a two-week stretch of tiny, weak waves and mostly poor conditions. If you're looking for a paddle, bring a longboard and don't expect much.

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.
