Located in the middle of Cook Islet, Annie’s is a surf spot known for its several reef-protected coves. The best left is aptly named Annie’s, serving up some decent waves for those looking to enjoy a session. It offers a laid-back vibe, making it a solid choice for surfers seeking a chill day on the water.
The waves here work best with a south-west swell, but you can also catch it with north swells. It handles swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (roughly 0.6 meters), so there's usually something ridable. The waves break over dead coral, providing a variety of spots. It's mainly a left-hand wave, and those who enjoy barrels will find Outside Annie’s reminiscent of an A-frame West Peak at Sunset. This spot can get hollow, especially on bigger days, and there’s also a nice end section for some big floaters. If you're surfing here, keep in mind that the best wind direction is from the south-east, and it works well during low, mid, and high tide, though you should have some intermediate skills to really enjoy it.
When you’re out there, don’t forget that it can get crowded, especially on good days. So, patience and respect for fellow surfers help keep the vibes chill. Overall, it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and looking to ride some local waves.
