The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Ann Street Peaks over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, we’re in for a bit of a wait. The first week is pretty much a write-off. From Tuesday the 14th right through to Monday the 20th, the wind is just a mess. Mostly cross or cross-onshore, gusting hard, and the swell is mixed up with a lot of chop. The wave energy is low at first, but then it builds into some serious numbers – like 622 (moderate) on Thursday 16th, and even 1118 (strong) by Saturday 18th – but the wind spoils it all. The surf quality is poor, and the shores are just lumpy and messy. It’s not worth paddling out until the wind gives us a break.
The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Monday 21st July. The swell is still solid at 8ft from the ESE, but more importantly, the wind is a cross-shore. The model flags it as marginal, but the energy is high (2256), so if you’re desperate, there might be a few. Still, I’d hold off.
The standout window is actually the last weekend of the period. Saturday 25th July is the one to circle. The morning brings a beautiful 7ft ESE groundswell with a period of 12 seconds, and the wind is glassy, coming from the SW. That’s a major positive for clean waves. The combined energy is strong (1655), and the wave comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the best on offer, no question. Sunday 26th July morning is also tidy with 7ft ESE swell, a cross-off wind from the SW, and that lovely clean energy (1168). It’s a close second.
The water temperature is sitting at 69°F, which is about 2°F cooler than average for this time of year – nothing too unusual, just a touch on the chilly side.
So, to sum it up: don’t bother with the first week. The surf is on, but the wind is off. Wait for that Saturday 25th July morning. It’s the one that’ll have you driving to the beach early.
Rusty.
