Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards.
Not gonna lie, the next few days are a write-off. We’ve got a lumpy, cross-shore mess with strong winds and poor surf conditions through Sunday and most of next week. The water’s sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a good steamer if you’re even thinking about it. By Wednesday the 8th, we start to see some energy from a solid groundswell—periods hitting 12 seconds and combined energy of 2188 (moderate-strong)—but the wind’s still messy and tide conditions are questionable, so it’s only marginal at best.
The first real glimmer comes Thursday morning the 9th: cleaner with a light cross-off breeze, swell running 4 ft from the SE at 11 seconds, and combined energy at 593 (moderate). It’s still listed as marginal, but with clean conditions, Anne Street Reef (Island of Hawaii) could offer a few fun ones for a beginner. That’s the best of a pretty average run.
Friday the 10th morning picks up a bit more size—6 ft from the SE at 10 seconds, combined energy 1213 (moderate-strong)—and cross-off winds keep it clean again. The score says marginal, but if you time it right, this could be the pick of the first week for a confident beginner wanting a bit more push.
Saturday the 11th morning has a light breeze and clean conditions with 3 ft SE swell at 11 seconds (224 combined energy), but it’s only rated “expect good surf conditions,” so don’t expect a classic.
After that, there’s a long flat spell. From Sunday the 12th through to Friday the 17th, we’re mostly below 3 ft, with weak energy and poor or ordinary surf. On Tuesday the 14th morning there’s a clean offshore wind but only 1 ft—barely rideable.
The standout window lands on Saturday the 18th morning. We get 4 ft from the SE with a very long 14-second period, combined energy of 596 (moderate), and glassy conditions with a slight air. This is a proper groundswell setup—clean, good shape, and perfect for a reef break like Anne Street. Keep in mind that long-period swells like this can make the waves a bit more powerful and the sets more spread out, but on a reef that’s a bonus. This is the one to circle. The afternoon goes onshore and choppy, so make the most of the morning.
Overall, don’t waste your time this week. Hang tight for that Saturday the 18th morning session—that’s the real deal, but it’s still a fortnight away so keep an eye on the forecasts. Conditions tend to turn around here, so don’t lose hope.

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.
Anne Street Reef is 3 km (2 miles) from Caloundra. If you plan a holiday in Sunshine Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Caloundra. Caloundra has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
