Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anne Street Reef over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour for you. At Anne Street Reef, we’re looking at a tough run. Water temps are about 69°, which is a degree or so chillier than usual for this time of year.
Monday the 13th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE with a short 10-second period. Morning is clean with a light 6 mph offshore from the WSW, but wave energy is weak at 64. Surfable, but barely. Afternoon, wind goes onshore and it’s done.
Tuesday the 14th is flat and poor. Wednesday the 15th morning is dead flat, but by afternoon the wind hits 19 mph from the SSE, stirring up a messy 5ft cross-shore slop with a 6-second period. Energy jumps to 123, but it’s lumpy and ugly.
Thursday the 16th brings some size: 6ft in the morning with 19 mph southerly cross-off wind, clean but short period. Energy hits 380. By afternoon, 8ft with 22 mph cross-shore wind, all chop. This is starting to look like a kiteboarding day more than a surf session.
Friday the 17th through Sunday the 19th stays big and messy. Saturday the 18th has 7 to 7ft with fresh cross-shore winds and energy readings hitting 615, all lumpy. Sunday the 19th morning peaks at 10ft from the ESE with a 10-second period and massive energy at 1625. Wind and tide are fine, but that’s way too big for this reef. Experts only.
From Monday the 21st onward, swell drops but conditions stay crummy with cross-onshore winds. The one bright spot is Monday the 27th morning: a clean 4ft ESE swell with a solid 12 mph offshore from the SW. Period is 9 seconds, energy is 215, and conditions are actually good. That’s the pick of the whole forecast, more than two weeks out. Tuesday the 28th morning is clean with 3ft, but nothing else stands out.
Bottom line: Monday the 27th morning is the only real chance for a clean session. The rest is mostly blown out, too big, or too flat. That’s the word from the beach.

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.
