The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've got to be straight with you—this 16-day window for Anne Street Reef is a shocker. There's not a single good surf option on the cards. The whole stretch is a write-off for any decent paddle session.
Starting off from Tuesday the 1st of September, we've got a tiny 2ft easterly swell with a 10-second period, but the energy is weak—only 97 on the combined energy scale. The water's sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll feel that extra nip. The morning has a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things clean, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it's game over.
The rest of the week is a brutal run of tiny, weak swells and onshore winds. Wednesday the 2nd, Thursday the 3rd, Friday the 4th—all under 2ft of easterly or northerly junk, with cross or cross-on winds making it messy. There's a brief spike on Saturday afternoon the 5th with 4ft from the north-northeast, but it's a short-period, wind-driven mess at 5 seconds, and the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore. That's more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing.
The first week is a total dud. The second week doesn't get any better. From Monday the 7th through to the end of the 16 days, it's a constant stream of tiny swell, onshore winds, and poor conditions. The only real standout is Thursday the 10th of September, where we see a 6ft swell from the south-southeast with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 744—that's moderate-strong energy. But the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-shore, creating lumpy, messy conditions. It's too big for beginners at 6ft, and the wind is blowing it out. Even then, it's still rated as poor surf.
The entire 16-day stretch is a gap. No good windows, no clean conditions, no decent swell. Anne Street Reef is a very consistent, beginner-friendly reef break that's exposed to east-southeast swells, but with nothing on offer, it's a total blank. For a spot that's usually reliable, this is a rare dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd leave the boards at home.
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. 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.
