The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Ann Street Peaks. This is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the swell, so it can handle a bit of energy. Water temp is sitting at 69° right now, which is about 1° cooler than the long-term average for this time of year – nothing wild, just a touch on the cool side.
The first bit of surf worth paddling out for is Saturday morning, the 18th of July. We’ve got a 6ft swell rolling in from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a cross-off, cleaning things up nicely. The combined energy is moderate (520). It’s not huge, but it’s clean and the break is fairly consistent. The afternoon holds similar, with a 6ft SE swell, period up to 9 seconds, and energy climbing to 682. Still cross-off and clean. This is the best on offer across the whole window – the only real window where the wind plays nice and the swell has some shape.
Sunday the 19th sees a big jump in size, with a 10ft ESE swell (period 10 seconds) and combined energy up at 1668 on the morning, but the wind is a cross-on from the SSE at 19 mph, making it lumpy. The same story continues into Monday and Tuesday – plenty of size (8ft to 10ft), but the wind is cross-on or cross, and the surf is poor. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, given the strong wind and messy conditions.
From Wednesday the 22nd, the swell starts to drop off. Wednesday morning sees a 6ft E swell with period 9 seconds and energy of 461, with an onshore wind. By Thursday the 23rd, we’re down to 4ft, and from Friday the 24th onwards, the swell fades fast. From the 26th of July, it’s all under 3ft, with periods of 6-7 seconds and very low energy, often dropping below 100. There’s a long stretch of small, weak, and often messy surf right through to the end of the month.
The last day of the window, Saturday the 1st of August, has a clean 1ft from the ENE with a gentle offshore from the WSW, but it’s barely a ripple. The only real standout is that Saturday the 18th of July – clean, consistent, and a solid 6ft. That’s the one to aim for. Everything else is either too big and windy, or too small to bother with.

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.
