The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
So for Ann Street Peaks, we’re looking at a pretty grim 16-day stretch. A lot of days with ankle-biters and bad wind. The water is running a bit colder than usual for this time of year, about 68°, so you’ll be wanting a wetsuit.
The one and only real highlight is Sunday, the 9th of August. Hit it first light. We’ve got a glassy 3ft wave from the E with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 210. It ain’t massive, but it’s the cleanest and most fun you’ll see. The wind is dead calm, so it’ll be smooth as glass.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. Monday and Tuesday mornings are clean but small, with waves around 2ft and energy dropping to 143 and 104. The rest of the week is just a mess of onshore and cross-shore wind that chops everything to bits. Nothing but poor surf from Monday afternoon through the following Sunday.
Then in the second week, we get a pulse of 5ft waves on Wednesday the 19th of August from the E with an 8-second period and moderate energy (222), but the wind is cross-shore, so it’ll be bumpy. Good size, bad quality.
Bottom line: Sunday morning the 9th is your only window. The rest is a bust.
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.
