The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk waves.

Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a bit of a rough stretch for Ann Street Peaks. We’ve got some serious size coming through, but the wind is going to be a constant battle. The water is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, sitting at 68°, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.

We kick off with a tiny, clean 0.7ft ESE swell on Wednesday the 15th, but it’s just not enough to ride. The real story starts picking up on Thursday the 16th. The swell jumps quickly, with 7ft SSE swell hitting by morning, but that 22 mph cross-shore wind is going to make a mess of it. By Thursday afternoon, it’s 8ft and 25 mph winds – this is pure grunt work, not a fun paddle. This pattern sticks through the weekend. Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th have solid 7ft to 10ft SE swells, but the wind is either cross or cross-onshore, blowing 19-22 mph. The energy is building, hitting 826 (moderate) on Saturday morning and then a strong 1982 by the afternoon, but it’s all messy, lumpy cross-chop. A beginner won’t want anything to do with this.

Sunday the 19th is the peak of the power, with 10ft to 12ft SE swell, but the wind is howling cross-onshore at 25-28 mph. This is expert territory, and even then, the quality is going to be terrible. The wave energy is huge (1863-1942), but it’s a washing machine. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The surf stays big and messy through Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st, with 13ft and 8ft ESE swell, but the wind just won’t let up. The 13ft on Monday morning has a massive 11-second period, which is a long groundswell, but it’s being torn apart by the wind. It’s not until Wednesday the 22nd that the swell drops to a more manageable 6ft, and the wind finally eases to a gentle 9 mph. The forecast says "marginal," but at least it’s not a total loss.

If you’re looking for the one true standout, you have to wait until Tuesday the 28th. The swell drops to 6ft from the ESE, but the wind is a clean, light cross-off from the SSW at 9 mph. The forecast is calling for "very good surf conditions," and the energy is a solid 507 (moderate). That morning is your window. The wave period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a weaker, short-period swell, but with conditions that clean, you’ll find some fun, rideable waves. It’s the only day in the whole run that looks genuinely good.

The gap between the messy stuff and that Tuesday the 28th highlight is a long slog of poor conditions from the 23rd through the 27th. There’s a small window on the 26th with clean 4ft swell and a cross-off wind, but it’s still marginal. So, pencil in the 28th, keep your fingers crossed for that long-range call, and expect a lot of tough days before that.

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.

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.
