The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Anne Street Reef. I’ll be straight with you—this 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of poor conditions before anything even worth a mention shows up.
The first real hint of surfable waves doesn’t arrive until the morning of Monday the 14th of September. Before that, it’s a grind of weak, short-period swell and choppy cross-shore winds that just won’t clean up. The best we get before that is a marginal blip on Wednesday the 9th, where the combined swell energy hits 341 (moderate) with a 13-second period, but it’s still messy and the score is too low to get excited about. From the start of the period right through to the 13th, it’s a desert with nothing to recommend.
So, what’s on offer? The one and only standout is Monday morning, the 14th of September. The wind goes glassy at just 3 mph from the SSE. For a reef break like this, that’s a rare treat—clean, smooth, no chop. The swell is a humble 2ft from the ENE, with a 6-second period. The combined energy is only 69 (weak), so it’s small and a bit on the short side, but when it’s glassy on a reef, even small waves can be fun. The crowd factor here is “sometimes,” so you might have a few locals out, but with that size, it won’t be a circus. This spot is very consistent and exposed, and being a reef, it should offer a clean little wall even with the shorter period.
For the record, water temperature is about average for the time of year, no big anomaly to report.
Beyond that morning, it’s back to onshore winds and poor conditions for the rest of the run. The setup does look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on many of those days with stronger cross-shore winds.
That’s it—one clean moment in a long quiet stretch. Get it while it’s glassy.
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.

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.
