Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anne Street Reef over the next 16 days.
Righto, let's break it down in feet and miles per hour. For the first week or so, Anne Street Reef is pretty flat and disappointing.
The first half-decent window is Sunday morning, July 12th. There's a 3ft ESE swell with 11-second intervals, pumping out moderate wave energy (199). The wind is cross-off from the NW at 9 mph, so the surface should be clean enough. It's surfable, but nothing special.
Things fizzle out fast. Monday the 13th has a tiny 2ft swell (62 energy) with offshore WSW wind at 6 mph – clean but barely ridable. Then we hit a real dead spell. For days, it's either too small or the wind is onshore, making it a total mess.
The one standout is clear as day. Tuesday morning, July 21st. Anne Street Reef comes to life with glassy conditions – dead calm, a 6ft ESE swell with a long 12-second period, and moderate-strong energy (870). The water temp is average for this time of year. The wind shifts offshore from the SW at just 3 mph, meaning the reef will be clean, peeling, and well-shaped. The swell direction matches the optimum ESE perfectly. It's a beginner-friendly reef that's very consistent, so expect good fun with manageable size. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
That afternoon the wind switches onshore, so it's a morning-only window.
Wednesday the 22nd morning still has 4ft from ESE with clean cross-off wind, but it's not as pristine as the Tuesday glass-off. By Thursday the 23rd, the swell jumps to 6ft (1018 energy) with cross-off wind – okay for experienced surfers, but getting a bit beefy for beginners.
The last few days of July are mostly choppy and onshore. The big blank run in the middle of the forecast – from around the 14th to the 20th – has almost no worthwhile surf.
Bottom line: don't bother for the first ten days. The one true standout is Tuesday the 21st morning. Everything else is a gamble at best.

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.
