The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at the next two weeks. It’s a rough one, boys. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf staring us down.
The forecast kicks off on Friday, July 31st, and it’s a total mess. We’ve got a weak, short-period 1.3m, 6-second swell from the SE, getting chewed up by a 25 km/h cross-onshore wind. The water is a bit colder than average at 68.0°F. It’s choppy, messy, and just ugly. That whole first weekend into the beginning of the week is a write-off. The wave energy is barely breaking into the moderate range, and it’s just not worth getting wet.
There is one tiny, tiny window. Tuesday morning, August 4th, is the only thing that looks even remotely interesting. Ann Street Peaks will have a tiny 2.3ft swell from the east, but the wind is forecast to be glassy – a light WSW at 3 mph. The combined energy is weak at 105, but if it’s dead calm, those little peaks might have a clean, rideable face. It’s a break for intermediates, and it’s fairly consistent. The crowds are sometimes a thing, but on a tiny Tuesday morning, you might get lucky and have it to yourself.
After that, it’s a long, grim run. Days of nothing. The waves stay under 3ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross, keeping it blown out. Even the clean mornings in the second week are useless because the swell drops to 1.5ft. There’s just no power. The period hangs around 8-10 seconds, which is weak and short.
The second week into mid-August is a total blank. The combined energy drops into the 40s and 50s, which is terrible. The swell is basically gone, and the wind is a constant nuisance. For a paddler, this is a tough, quiet wait. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a long stretch of nothing.

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.
