The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you—looking at the next 16 days for Anne Street Reef, it’s a real struggle. We’re staring down a long, dry spell with hardly a window worth paddling out for.
Let’s get into it. The forecast kicks off on Friday the 11th of September, and honestly, it’s a rough start. The swell is coming in from the ESE at around 6 ft, but the period is a short, weak 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 386, but it’s all junked up by a strong 16 mph cross-shore wind. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but you won’t care about that when you’re battling a cross-chop. This is a reef break, so it usually handles swell well, but with these conditions, it’s a total write-off. The rating says it’s a beginner spot, but this is not for learners—it’s just poor.
Saturday and Sunday follow the same tired pattern. The swell drops off fast, but the wind hangs around from the SE and SSE, keeping things choppy and messy. By Tuesday the 15th, we get a moment of glassy conditions in the morning, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft with a 6-second period and combined energy down to 43. It’s flat, not surfable. That glassy morning is a tease, but there’s nothing to ride.
The only flicker of hope comes on Saturday the 19th of September. The morning is glassy again, with a tiny 3 ft swell from the ENE at 7 seconds. The combined energy is still only 67, and the notes say “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Honestly, “ordinary” is being generous. It’s the best we get, but it’s still a far cry from good. The wind is light and offshore for a brief moment, giving it some clean potential, but the size is tiny and the period is short. It’s a last resort, not a standout.
After that, it’s back to the same story: tiny waves, cross-onshore winds, and a lot of nothing. By the end of the forecast window, we’re looking at 1 ft to 3 ft junk with 16 mph winds. There’s no big swell, no clean windows, no reason to get excited.
The best on offer? If you’re desperate, that Saturday morning the 19th is your only shot, but don’t expect much. For everyone else, save your energy. This is a quiet period for the reef.
Rusty.
