The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Anne Street Reef.
Straight up, it’s a bleak run ahead. We’ve got a solid 15-day stretch with next to nothing rideable. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about average for this time of year.
Thursday the 3rd kicks off with a tiny 1ft easterly swell, but a cross-shore wind has it looking messy. That’s pretty much the story until we hit Tuesday the 8th, when some energy starts to appear. Tuesday morning sees a 5ft southeast swell, with combined wave energy climbing to moderate levels (190), but it’s got a fresh cross-shore wind on it and a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s going to be lumpy and uninviting. That afternoon the swell pushes to 7ft and the energy jumps to 396, but the wind stays cross-shore and messy.
Wednesday the 9th is more of the same, with 4ft to 5ft southeast swell and moderate energy (121 to 148), but still chopped up by the wind. Thursday the 10th sees the swell size bump up to 6ft, energy hitting 304, but the wind is strong and cross-shore, making it a real battle. By Friday the 11th we’re looking at 6ft ESE swell with a cross-onshore wind and 316 energy, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the conditions are choppy.
The only real glimmer in this entire 16-day window is early on the 18th of September, a Friday morning. The swell drops back to a modest 5ft from the southeast, but the wind swings light westerly, going cross-offshore, and conditions clean right up. The combined energy is still moderate at 125. It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s ordinary at best. For a break like Anne Street Reef, which is very consistent and exposed, this is a long stretch of nothing.
We’ll see if the forecasts change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
