The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. Things are looking pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks around here. The surf’s going to be a real struggle for a long stretch, but there’s a little glimmer of hope if you can wait it out.

It’s a quiet start. Nothing really worth paddling out for until maybe a week from now. But honestly, the first real standout doesn’t come until the 23rd of August.

For most of the next week and a half, it’s a mess. The wind is nearly always onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is small and weak. The energy is low, usually under 100 or barely into the low hundreds. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.

Now, the one spot we’ve got to talk about is Ann Street Peaks. It’s a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent but the crowds can show up sometimes. It’s exposed to swell, and the optimum direction is from the ESE.

The best window by far is the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the east, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’ll have some punch. The wind is light and cross-off from the NNW, so the waves should be clean and lined up. The combined energy is moderate at 505. This is the standout. Not huge, but it’ll be the best shape and most rideable conditions in the whole run.

The morning of Monday the 24th is also worth a mention – 4ft from the east, clean with cross-off winds, though the energy is a bit lower at 430. Not as good as Sunday but still a session.

After that, Tuesday the 25th morning has a smaller 5ft ENE swell, clean again, but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weaker and less organised.

Honestly, if you’re not tied to the schedule, save your energy for that Sunday the 23rd morning. Before that, it’s mostly choppy, windy, poor surf with a lot of cross-on junk. The swell does get bigger around the 20th, up to 10ft, but the wind is still cross-on and it’s messy, so only for the hardcore or the kite crew.

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.
