The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same story in feet and miles.
This is a tough outlook for Ann Street Peaks. Over this 16-day window, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing to get excited about.
The first real surf we see is Saturday morning, the 25th of July, with a weak, short-period easterly swell around 3ft. The wind is a cross-shore from the south at 12 mph, putting a bump on the surface. The combined energy is 175 (moderate), and it’s listed as poor surf conditions. The afternoon lightens up, but the swell drops and the period is a sloppy 7 seconds. Not worth it.
Sunday the 26th is smaller, with waves around 2ft in the morning, dropping to 2ft by the afternoon. Light winds, but still cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface bumpy. Energy is down to 59 and 33 (weak).
From Monday the 27th through Wednesday the 29th, the swell is tiny – 0.7ft to 1ft. The only good news is that on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, the wind goes light and cross-offshore, making the surface glassy. But glassy tiny waves are still tiny waves. Energy is in the 20s and 30s (weak).
Then Thursday the 30th brings a pulse. A rain shower moves through, and the swell builds to 5ft in the morning, then 7ft in the afternoon from the southeast. The period is short – 6 to 7 seconds – so it’s a messy wind swell. The wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. Energy hits 376 (moderate) in the afternoon, but the quality is poor. That 7ft swell with that onshore wind is going to be a mess. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
That messy, windy pattern holds through Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August. Swell stays around 5ft to 6ft, but the wind is still strong and cross-shore or cross-onshore, with energy between 241 and 343. The period is a short 6-7 seconds. It’s lumpy and choppy.
From Sunday the 2nd of August onward, the swell fades. We drop from 4ft down to 1ft by the end of the window. Winds are still cross or onshore, keeping the surface messy. By the 8th and 9th of August, we’re back to tiny, clean, but unrideable waves.
So, the bottom line: there’s no standout session in this whole 16 days. The best you could hope for is a very early paddle on a clean, tiny morning around the 28th or 29th of July, but don’t hold your breath. For the rest of it, leave the board in the car. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.

Information about the Ann Street Peaks Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ann Street Peaks provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ann Street Peaks can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ann Street Peaks 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 (Ann Street Peaks) 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 Ann Street Peaks 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.
