Anne Street Reef is a reef break on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, offering a fun, punchy wave when conditions line up. It’s the kind of spot that can produce clean, relatively hollow sections over the reef, with the best surf usually coming on small to medium swells and with a clean offshore wind.

What it’s like

Wave type: Reef break
Best for: Intermediate to advanced surfers
Style: Can be fast, groomed, and a bit technical
Bottom: Reef, so it can be shallow and unforgiving on low tide or bigger sets

Conditions

Works best with a solid but not overly large swell
Often prefers a tidal sweet spot to avoid too much reef exposure
Offshore winds help keep it clean and lined up
Can be a good option when beachies are messy, provided the reef is holding shape

Things to keep in mind

Because it’s a reef break, there’s less margin for error
Surfing it safely means being aware of tide, reef depth, and entry/exit points
Best suited to surfers comfortable handling a more committed takeoff

Overall

Anne Street Reef is a reliable local reef option on the Sunshine Coast that can deliver quality waves when the banks and conditions cooperate. It’s not usually the mellowest place to learn, but for surfers who like a bit of shape and power, it can be a very rewarding spot.
