The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Gotta be honest, the next couple of weeks are a total dud. There’s nothing worth paddling out for across the whole sixteen-day window. It’s a proper flat spell for the area, so if you’ve got the itch, you’re better off finding something else to do. That said, this kind of quiet run is pretty normal around here, so don’t get too bummed out. Forecasts can always flip.
The first real chance to surf doesn’t show up until the tail end of the run. The water’s sitting at about 68°, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year (about 1° colder than average). Not a huge deal, but you’ll notice it. For the most part, it’s small, weak swell and junky wind.
Our only break to look at is Anne Street Reef. We’re waiting over a week for the first ‘surfable’ call on Monday, September 8th in the morning. The wind will be clean and offshore out of the west at 12 mph, but the swell is just a weak 4ft from the north-northeast, with a short period of 6 seconds and moderate wave energy (124). Not exactly firing. The one true standout is Tuesday, September 8th in the afternoon. It’s a long way out, so don’t bet the farm on it, but the numbers hint at something better. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the north-northeast, still short-period at 6 seconds, but with a combined energy of 271 (moderate). The real kicker is the wind goes glassy, dead calm. On a reef break like this, that means silky, clean waves. It’s a shame the swell isn’t from the ideal direction (ESE for this spot), so it won’t be perfect, but for this dry spell, it’s the best shot we’ve got. Expect it to be packed, as this is the only wave in town.
After that, a small pulse on Wednesday, September 9th in the morning gives us a clean offshore wind from the southwest at 12 mph, but the swell drops back to just 3ft from the north-northeast, so it’s small and weak. The rest of the days are tiny, choppy junk with onshore or cross-shore winds. A few days in early September, like the 3rd and 4th, offer glassy conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft, just not enough to get into. That’s the lot, folks. Keep your eyes peeled, but for now, it’s time to wax the car, not the board.
Rusty.

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.
