The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s happening at Ann Street Peaks.
We’re looking at a rough start. From Thursday the 16th through Tuesday the 22nd, it’s mostly junk – strong south to southeast winds, cross or cross-onshore, and lumpy, choppy surf. The swell energy is moderate to strong (886 to 2345) but the conditions are just poor. Water temp is about 69°F, which is normal for this time of year.
Things finally clean up on Thursday morning the 23rd. Light SSW cross-off wind, swell around 5ft from the east at 9 seconds – not big, but clean. Combined energy is moderate (302). Friday morning the 24th is similar: 4ft from the east-northeast, light SW cross-off, clean. Saturday morning the 25th is clean too with a light SW cross-off, swell 4ft from the southeast, and then Saturday afternoon goes glassy with 3ft from the east-southeast. That’s the best stretch of the whole outlook – small, but you’ll get a few clean waves.
After that, it fades. There’s a little bump of 5ft from the southeast on Thursday the 30th with clean cross-off wind, but it’s short period and weak energy.
No standout big swell here. The real play is those clean mornings on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th of July. It’s not firing, but if you want a session without getting chewed up by the wind, that’s your window.
Rusty.

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.
