G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this stretch is a long, frustrating wait for anything decent. The first recommendation doesn’t come up until the morning of Thursday, 23 July, and everything before that is a write-off. We’re talking over a week of poor surf, with building swell ruined by howling cross-shore and cross-onshore winds. The first few days offer tiny, weak waves, then from Wednesday the 15th through to the 23rd, the swell gets solid but the wind is a mess – fresh to strong breezes, lumpy, choppy, cross-chop – it’s not worth a paddle. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing in that period.
The first real shout comes on Thursday, 23 July at Ann Street Peaks. Morning sees a cross-shore wind with a 6 ft swell from the east, period a juicy 12 seconds, combined energy (865). It’s described as marginal, though, and the water temp is about 69°F – a touch under average for this time of year. The afternoon is similar but with a bit more cross-on wind, still marginal.
Now, the standout session is Friday, 24 July morning. This is the one to circle. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SSW at 9 mph, cleaning things right up. You’ve got a 5 ft swell from the east, period still a solid 12 seconds, combined energy (675). The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s clean, lined-up, and the cross-off wind will keep the faces smooth. Crowds are possible here, so get in early. This is the best on offer.
After that, Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th mornings both look clean with cross-off winds and smaller, but still fun, 5 ft and 4 ft east swells with long periods (12 and 11 seconds). The energy drops off a bit (738 and 331), but it’s still surfable with no crowds worry.
The tail end of the outlook, Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th mornings, offer clean conditions again with cross-off winds and chest-to-head-high waves (3 ft to 3 ft) from the east and ESE, with very long periods (13 and 14 seconds). Combined energy is moderate (281 and 418). Good for a cruise if you’re keen, but the real gem is that Friday morning.
Rusty.

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.
