Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Ann Street Peaks over the next couple of weeks. Gotta say, it's a bit of a slow burn, but there's a flicker of hope if you're patient.
Right off the bat, the first week looks pretty grim. From Sunday the 5th to Thursday the 10th of July, it's a write-off. We've got a messy mix of moderate to fresh cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, rain showers, and lumpy, choppy conditions. The swell pushes up around 6ft to 8ft, but it's short-period windswell – barely 6 to 8 seconds – so it's all noise and no shape. The wave energy is weak to moderate. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there. Just leave the board in the car, honestly.
Then Friday the 11th of July finally gives us something. The early morning session looks like the pick of the whole forecast. Winds go dead calm – glassy – and that's a huge positive for a spot that's exposed. The swell drops to 3ft from the ESE, a decent 11-second period groundswell. The wave energy is weak, so it won't have heaps of push, but the calm conditions mean it'll be clean. The water temp remains unremarkable, average for July. It's just not big enough to get excited about, but it's the only window of decent conditions.
After that, the second week fades out. Saturday the 12th has a brief moment with a light offshore wind (WSW) on Sunday morning with tiny 2ft swell, and there's a clean window on Wednesday the 15th with a glassy, offshore 4ft swell, but again, the period is a short 5 seconds, and the energy is weak. It's really only for someone itching for a glide.
So, the standout is definitely Saturday morning, July 11th. The glassy conditions and that long-period groundswell hitting 3ft from the ESE will offer the cleanest waves of the entire outlook. It's a beach and reef setup, so the long period might make it a bit walled at the beach, but with no wind, it'll be the best it gets. Don't expect a crowd – it's just not firing enough to pull everyone in, but it's your best bet.
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.
