The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at a pretty bleak run for the next couple of weeks, so let’s get real about it.
We’re kicking off at Anne Street Reef. Straight up, we’ve got a long, dry spell to start. There’s nothing worth paddling out for from Monday the 10th all the way through to Saturday the 22nd. The waves are small, the period is short, and the wind is messy. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprise there.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday the 23rd. We’ve got a solid groundswell moving in, with swell height at 6ft from the ESE, and a period of 10 seconds. This is a proper long-period groundswell, which at a reef break like this should groom into some nice lines. The combined energy is strong at (1159). The wind is light from the south (3 mph) and cross-offshore, keeping things clean. This is the top pick for the whole outlook. It’s an excellent session for experienced surfers – this size will be too much for beginners.
Going into Monday the 24th, the swell drops back to 4ft, and the wind swings cross-shore from the NNW at 12 mph, which will knock the quality out of it. Tuesday the 25th sees offshore winds from the WSW, but they’re howling at 25 mph, which makes it near impossible to paddle into, even if the swell is clean.
So to sum it up: we’ve got a massive gap of almost two weeks of junk, then a true standout session on Sunday the 23rd if you’re experienced. Hold out for that one.
Rusty.

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.
