The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming.
We're in for a quiet start, no doubt. The first few days are just not worth the effort. The real action doesn't get going until Thursday the 31st of July, but even that's a bit wild.
The one to circle on the calendar is the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August. The swell will be a solid 5ft from the east, with a 7-second period. The combined energy will be a strong 465 (moderate wave energy). The wind will be a clean cross-offshore from the south at 9 mph, leaving the surface looking good. That's a solid intermediate-to-expert wave, as it's going to be a handful for beginners. The water is running a bit colder than usual for this time of year, at 68°.
Anne Street Reef is a reef break, so it should handle that east swell nicely. The optimum direction is from the ESE, and the swells are coming from the E and ESE, which is a good fit. It's a very consistent wave, so you won't be sitting around waiting all day. The downside is that crowds can be a problem sometimes, so get out there early.
The morning of Friday the 7th of August is another solid option. The swell drops to about 4ft from the SE, but the wind goes glassy. That's as good as it gets for clean, textured surf. The combined energy will be moderate at 211. This size is much more user-friendly for everyone.
Aside from those two mornings, we're looking at smaller, wind-chopped swells or sessions where the tide is just wrong. The pulse on the 31st of July is a big 7ft, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-off, which will make it a messy, powerful beast. That's for the experts only, or maybe the kiteboarders.
In short, the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August is the top pick, with the glassy Friday morning on the 7th as a close second. Don't hold your breath for the rest.
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.
