The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk it out in feet and miles. Ann Street Peaks – a beach and reef deal, fairly consistent normally, but this forecast is a tough one. Your only real clean window is Thursday morning, July 23. That morning we’ve got a 4ft easterly swell at 8 seconds – not a groundswell, but a light cross-off breeze from the south-southwest at 6 mph, so it’s glassy and clean. Water temp is 68°, which is about 2° colder than usual for this time of year – you’ll feel that. Combined energy is moderate at 208 – nothing huge, but rideable. That’s the high point.
After that, it’s downhill. Thursday afternoon goes glassy with tiny 4ft east swell, but the wave comment says “surfable but very ordinary” – not worth the drive. From Friday the 24th through the end of July, it’s all poor. Winds shift to cross, cross-on, or onshore, and the swell stays small or choppy. Even when the swell hits 6ft on the 30th, it’s a strong cross-shore at 28 mph – total chop. Combined energy climbs to 278 that afternoon, but the wind spoils it.
Into August, same story: onshore winds, rain, lumpy conditions. Swell gets bigger – 8ft on the 5th morning with 705 energy – but it’s onshore from the east-southeast at 12 mph, so it’s a mess. By the 7th, period stretches to 10 seconds but still cross-on wind. Honestly, for a beach and reef break, this looks more like a kite-surfing setup when the waves are decent but the wind is wrong. No other standout. The stretch from July 24 onward is a long gap of poor surf, so don’t get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s bleak.
