Alright, Rusty here, taking a look at Ann Street Peaks for the coming weeks. Gotta be straight with you—this stretch is looking a bit tricky. There's nothing on offer for the first few days, so we're starting with a gap until Friday, July 10th, and even then it's not looking great.
The first real chance to get wet comes Friday morning, July 10th. We've got a solid 6ft of SE swell pushing in, with a period of 10 seconds. The wave energy is cranked up to 1006 (moderate to strong), which is promising, but the wind is howling from the SSE at 12 mph, making things choppy. It's a marginal call at best. The overall pattern is a bit of a mess this week.
Saturday and Sunday, July 11th and 12th, are smaller and cleaner. Saturday morning has a light S breeze and 3ft of SE swell, and by Sunday morning we get a clean window with a light WNW offshore wind. The swell drops to 3ft from the ESE, with a nice 11-second period. The wave energy is low at 199 (weak), but it's rideable and clean. Not a standout, but a chance to get a few waves without a battle.
Monday morning, July 13th, offers a tiny 2ft swell with a WSW cross-offshore breeze—clean but barely enough to paddle for.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. We've got a significant swells arriving later in the week. Thursday, July 16th, sees a jump to 6ft of SE swell in the morning and 7ft by the afternoon. That's getting into expert territory for the afternoon. The period is short, only 7-8 seconds, so it'll be a bit crumbly. The wave energy is strong at 404 (strong), but the wind is a moderate WSW cross-offshore. This is only for the seasoned crew.
The best session of the entire outlook, hands down, is Saturday afternoon, July 18th. The swell builds to a solid 7ft from the SE, with a 10-second period. The combined energy hits 1266 (strong to very strong). But the real magic is the wind: a light SSW breeze of 6 mph, creating clean, glassy conditions. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. Get on it if you can handle the size.
After that, it drops off quickly. Sunday, July 19th, has a clean morning with 4ft of SE swell and a light offshore wind, but it's small. From Monday, July 20th onward, the surf fades into tiny, weak waves with poor conditions for the rest of the forecast period, with a few days of small, clean but almost flat surf mid-week.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. Sunday the 12th is a small, clean option. The clear standout is Saturday afternoon, July 18th, for experts only. Everything after that is small and disappointing.
Stay salty.
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.
