Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ann Street Peaks over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s size up Ann Street Peaks. This is a beach-and-reef setup that’s fairly consistent and intermediate-friendly, with the best swell coming from the ESE. Water temp is about 69°F – right around normal for this time of year. But honestly, the next 16 days look like a real bust. The surf is either tiny, blown out, or both. There’s no standout session worth paddling out for.
Sunday morning the 12th kicks off with some knee-high waves around 3ft from the ESE, period 11 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is moderate (199) but the wave comment says “surfable but very ordinary” – and the score is a 1 out of 10. That’s barely worth a mention. Afternoon cleans up to a glassy calm, but the swell drops to 3ft and the energy fades to 140. Still not doing it.
Monday the 13th morning is clean with a WSW cross-off, but the swell is only 2ft with 64 energy – just weak. By afternoon, onshore wind kicks in and the waves are tiny and messy. Tuesday the 14th morning is glassy, but the swell is 1ft – absolutely flat. That’s the theme for the next week: small, poor quality, and cross-winds.
Then around Thursday the 16th, the swell picks up significantly – 5ft on Thursday morning, 7ft by afternoon, with combined energy shooting up to 357 and then 1004. That sounds promising, but the wind is howling from the south at 19-22 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. The waves are too big for the conditions, and the score is zero. Friday the 17th gets even worse – 10ft waves with 25 mph winds, risk of thunderstorms. This is more like a kite session than a surf session. The same pattern continues through the weekend: huge swell (16ft on Saturday the 18th afternoon, 9316 energy) but terrible winds. That’s expert-only, and even then it’s going to be a washing machine.
The second week stays poor. Swell drops back to 3-6ft but the wind is still cross or cross-on, keeping the surface lumpy. There’s a brief window on Sunday morning the 26th with a cross-off and 1.0ft – that’s nothing. Then Monday the 27th morning has 3ft from the SE with a cross-off, but period is only 6 seconds and the energy is 132 – weak and short period. The wind is clean, but the waves are just too small and weak to get excited about.
Bottom line: there’s no good surf on offer in the next 16 days. Ann Street Peaks is a fairly consistent spot, but the forecast is a long stretch of poor conditions. Sometimes it’s just like that – a blank run. Hang in there, the forecasts can change.
