The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for the surf.
Honestly, it’s a tough run. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Sunday morning, August 9th. Before that, it’s all flat and messy.
The only true highlight, the one that’s got me excited, is that Sunday morning, the 9th of August. Ann Street Peaks will be showing a clean 4ft of easterly swell. The period is a solid 9 seconds, so there’s some shape. The water is a bit colder than average for this time of year, sitting at 68°F, about a degree and a half chillier. The big win is the wind: it’s glassy. A light 3 mph easterly breeze, dead calm. That’s a major positive, making for clean, smooth lines. The combined energy is a solid moderate 253, so there’s enough push for a fun session. It’s a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, and exposed to the ESE – the ideal swell direction. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out, but it’s worth the early alarm.
After that Sunday morning, it’s back to the struggle. Sunday afternoon turns choppy. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th have clean offshore winds, but the swell drops to a weak 3ft, and the energy is low. You might get a few, but it’s ordinary. Wednesday the 12th afternoon has a clean offshore, but the swell is only 2ft.
Then from the 14th of August onward, it gets ugly. Rain showers and onshore winds up to 19 mph make the 4ft to 5ft swell a lumpy, wind-blown mess. The period drops to 6 seconds – that’s pure wind chop. For a beach and reef setup, it’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle-surfing one.
The last few days from the 17th to the 20th are more of the same: rain, moderate onshore winds, and small, poor-quality surf. The 20th has a 12-second period but only 2ft of swell and onshore wind, so it’s blown out.
Bottom line: target Sunday morning, the 9th of August. That’s your one and only shot. The rest of the forecast is a waiting game.
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.
