The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Ann Street Peaks. This is a beach and reef setup, and it’s exposed to the swell, so when it fires, it can be a fun one. Right now, the water’s sitting at 69°F, which is about 1°F cooler than average for this time of year – nothing wild, just a touch on the fresh side.
The next 16 days start off with a real thump, but it’s not surfable. On Sunday the 19th, we’ve got a solid 13ft swell from the SE, but a strong cross-breeze at 28 mph from the SSE is just tearing it up. The combined energy is a massive 3525 (strong), but it’s messy cross-chop – unrideable for a paddle board. That’s the story for Sunday and Monday: big numbers but no go.
Tuesday the 21st is still rough, though the swell is down to 8ft. The wind is still cross-onshore and choppy, keeping it poor. Wednesday the 22nd sees the swell drop to 6ft, but the wind lightens up a bit. Still cross-onshore, so it’s only marginal. The energy is down to 473 (moderate), so it’s getting weaker.
Then, on Thursday the 23rd, we get a little window. The morning is glassy, with a light 4ft swell from the east. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s not a groundswell, but with glassy conditions and clean faces, it’s the best we’ve seen. The combined energy is 216 (moderate). This is a decent option for a sneaky session, but it’s small and the afternoon swings onshore, so get out early.
Friday the 24th is a write-off with a cross-shore, and then Saturday the 25th morning offers a clean moment with a 5ft SE swell and a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s a bit weak, but the energy is 394 (moderate) and it’s clean – worth a look for a few fun ones.
After Saturday, the swell drops off fast. From Sunday the 26th onward, we’re looking at tiny waves – 3ft or less – and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, so it’s flat and poor. There’s a long gap of at least a week with no real surf. By the time we get to the end of July and into early August, the numbers are tiny – 0.3ft to 1.0ft – with no energy to speak of. The best of the whole run is honestly Thursday morning the 23rd, with those glassy conditions, and maybe Saturday morning the 25th for a clean but small session. Everything else is a no-go for a paddle surfer.
Because of the big swell and wind combo early on, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during the first few days.
Rusty.

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.
