Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on Ann Street Peaks for the next couple of weeks. It's a beach and reef spot that lights up when the swell comes from the ESE.
First few days are a bit of a dog. Sunday the 12th has a 3ft wave from the ESE with an 11-second period – that’s a nice groundswell, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the NW. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to blow your socks off – combined energy is weak (199). Monday the 13th it drops off, and from Tuesday through the middle of the week we’ve got a lot of tiny, onshore slop. There’s a big dry spell of just poor conditions until we get a shake-up.
The one to get excited about is Thursday morning the 23rd of July. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the SE, period is 10 seconds – good energy, and the wind is a sweet cross-off from the SSW. That’s clean, that’s solid, and the wave energy is strong (1018). This is for the experienced crew – over 5ft, so leave the foam boards at home. Water temp is about average for the season, nothing weird.
Before that, Tuesday the 21st morning is a gem. It’s glassy, dead calm, with a 6ft ESE groundswell (12 seconds). That’s a long period, so it’ll be more lined up and better on the reef side. The energy is moderate (870). It’s a good session, but the wind swings onshore in the afternoon, so you gotta be out there early.
Second week is a mixed bag. Wednesday the 22nd morning is clean but smaller at 4ft. After that, it’s back to small stuff and onshore junk. There’s a clean window on Monday the 27th morning with a 2ft E swell and a cross-off, but it’s tiny.
So, my top picks: Thursday the 23rd is the winner – biggest clean swell with good wind. Tuesday the 21st morning is the other one, if you can beat the wind. Crowds are possible here on clean days, so don’t be surprised if you’ve got company. Once that swell fades, it’s slim pickings.
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.
