The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
It’s gonna be a real mixed bag. We’ve got a lot of small, blown-out days to wade through before we get to a proper window. The overall pattern is a long stretch of onshore and cross-shore winds that are going to trash most of what little swell is around. The first real standout for clean surf is a little way off, but it’s a beauty.
The action starts on Wednesday, August 5th at Ann Street Peaks. A clean 3 ft swell from the East with a 10-second period is pushing in, and with a light cross-offshore wind from the SW, the morning will be worth a paddle. The combined energy is moderate (170). It’s not the biggest day, but it’s the first sign of life after a few poor days.
Then we hit a long, frustrating gap. From the afternoon of the 5th right through to the morning of Sunday, August 9th, it’s a write-off. Strong winds, onshore slop, and tiny waves. That’s nearly four days of nothing.
Sunday, August 9th is where it’s at. That’s your standout. The morning is absolute glass – zero wind, clear skies, and a clean 4 ft swell from the East with a 9-second period. The wave energy climbs to a solid moderate level (268). This is the best it’s gonna get. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Get out there early because by the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the window slams shut.
After that, the following week is a tough watch. The swell gets a boost, but it’s a mess. On Monday, August 18th, the swell really starts to push in, hitting 5 ft from the SE (10-second period) with very strong energy (430), but it’s stuck in a cross-shore wind. It’s a sketchy, lumpy wave that’s more for the kites than paddle boards. The period drops to a short 6 seconds on the 17th afternoon, which is a terrible sign for quality.
The big swell on the 18th and 19th – over 5 ft – is too messy for the average punter, and with the winds howling, it’s strictly for the experts or the foilers. There’s no clean, lined-up swell to finish the run.
Keep your eyes on the forecast for the 9th. That’s the one.
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.

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.
