The Lowdown
Alright, lads, Rusty here. Let’s size up the next couple of weeks at Ann Street Peaks.
Starting off Tuesday the 21st, we’ve got a solid 8-foot swell from the ESE, but the wind is howling cross-on from the SE at 15 mph, making it a choppy mess. The wave energy is pumping at 1089, but the water is sitting at 68°, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year.
Wednesday the 22nd drops to about 5 feet from the east, but that cross-on wind is still making it pretty average.
Thursday the 23rd morning is our first real window. The swell drops to 4 feet from the east, and the wind turns light cross-off from the SSW, leaving it clean. The energy is moderate at 208. It’s not big, but it’ll be the best shape we’ve seen.
The rest of the week is a write-off until Saturday the 25th morning, when a 4-foot ESE swell meets a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate at 240, and it’s looking decent.
We then hit a flat spell from Sunday the 26th through the end of July, with waves dropping below 3 feet and the energy vanishing.
The first week of August is the real highlight. Saturday the 1st is a beauty – glassy conditions with a 3-foot SE swell and moderate energy at 223. It’s small, clean, and perfect for a fun session. Sunday the 2nd morning is also glassy with a 2-foot SE swell, but the energy is lighter at 143.
The standout of the whole 16-day forecast is that Saturday the 1st of August – glassy, clean, and small. The Thursday the 23rd morning is also a solid early pick.
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.
