The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Ann Street Peaks.
We’re looking at a pretty grim run, to be honest. The whole first week is a write-off. The wind is just never your friend, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and while the swell stays tiny, the energy is weak. The combined swell energy is only around 110 (moderate energy) on Tuesday morning, but that's as good as it gets for a while and the conditions are “poor surf conditions.” That’s a solid week of nothing worth paddling out for.
The real story starts to shift late in the second week. Hold onto your hats for Saturday the 22nd. That morning is the standout. The wind flips to glassy with a WSW direction, dead calm at 0 mph, and the swell comes up to a clean 5ft from the east with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is at 449, which is moderate wave energy — feels solid. The water temp is about average for the time of year. For the first time in ages, you’ll get clean, lined-up waves without getting chewed up by the wind. That morning looks like the pick of the whole outlook.
The following day, Sunday the 23rd morning, is also not bad with a cross-off wind and 4ft east swell, but it’s not as clean as that Saturday glass-off. For the rest of the run, it’s back to mediocrity.
So there you go. It’s a long wait, but Saturday the 22nd morning has a genuine window of quality. Don’t sleep on it.
Stay stoked,
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.
