Anne Street Reef Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Anne Street Reef over the next couple of weeks.

First up, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The swell is small and the wind is a bit messy, so the first few days are pretty ordinary. The water temperature is sitting about average for this time of year, which is no big surprise.

Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are both pretty average. You’ll see some 3ft swell from the east, but the wind is cross-off or onshore, and the energy is weak (98 to 112). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Sunday the 9th morning is the first real highlight. The wind goes glassy, calm, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the east with a 9-second period. The energy hits 214, which is a solid moderate push. That’s going to be clean and fun for a beginner-friendly reef wave. The crowd can be there sometimes, but with these conditions, it’s worth a paddle.

After that, it gets tricky again. Monday the 10th through to the end of the second week is a mix of poor conditions and small swell. The wind is all over the place, and the energy is mostly weak (under 150). There’s a long-period swell on Friday the 14th, but it’s only 1ft from the southeast with a 14-second period – that’s a groundswell, but it’s too small to do much on a reef. The energy is still low (70-80). The next few days are best left alone.

Now, things start to get interesting in the second week. On Tuesday the 18th, we see a jump in size – 7ft from the east-southeast with an 8-second period. The energy is strong (604), but the wind is cross-off in the morning and cross in the afternoon, so it’s a bit of a mixed bag. That size is getting into expert territory, and the short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy. Wednesday the 19th is similar, with 7ft and 716 energy, but again, the wind is tricky.

The real standout looks like Thursday the 20th morning. You’ve got a 5ft swell from the east with a 9-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the south. The energy is strong (455), and the forecast says good surf conditions. That’s the best window for a proper session, but it’s still a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.

Finally, Saturday the 22nd morning is another promising one. The swell is 4ft from the east-northeast with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy. The energy is 322, and it’s looking good for a clean, fun morning on the reef. Crowds are possible, but that’s the price of a good wave.

So, to sum it up: Sunday the 9th morning is the best early call, but Thursday the 20th morning is the real standout for size, energy, and clean conditions. The rest of the window is a write-off until then.
