The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here, and I'm looking at the next few weeks. Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell for the most part. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so don't get your hopes up too high too fast.
The water temp is sitting at about 70°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until Tuesday, September 15th. That morning, we've got glassy conditions at Anne Street Reef. The swell is small, just 3ft from the ENE, and the combined energy is weak (99). The wind is dead calm, so it'll be clean, but it's pretty small. It's surfable, but you'll be working for your rides.
The only other small window pops up on Friday, September 18th. Another glassy morning, with a 3ft ENE swell. The combined energy is still weak (105), but that glassy wind will make it look better than it is. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit weak and wobbly.
And then, way out on Tuesday, September 22nd, we get a third glassy morning. The swell is 4ft from the ENE, with a combined energy of 153 (still weak). The period is 8 seconds, so it's a little more push than the previous ones, but it's still a small, clean day.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the Tuesday, September 22nd morning. It's the biggest of the glassy windows, with a 4ft swell. The rest of the period is just a mess of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, making everything choppy and poor. We've got a big gap of over a week of rubbish before that first glassy day on the 15th.
So, the pick is the morning of Tuesday, September 22nd. It's the most promising of a very average bunch. Keep an eye on it, but don't plan your life around it.
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.
