The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the next week or so at Ann Street Peaks is pretty ordinary. The swell's small and the wind's not playing ball, so you might as well leave the boards in the shed for a bit. After that, things really start to fire, but you've got to get through a long, flat, and messy stretch first.
Right now, the first real chance of anything decent doesn't arrive until Sunday morning, the 9th of August. It's not huge, with 3ft of easterly swell, but the real kicker is the glassy conditions. Zero wind, clean as a whistle. The wave energy is moderate (202), so you'll get some fun runners. It's a solid window to get a few waves on the beach-and-reef setup before the wind turns onshore in the arvo.
Then we're looking at another big gap. Tuesday morning the 11th might offer a tiny 2ft easterly swell with light clean wind, but it's pretty weak (106) and only "surfable" at best. Same story on Wednesday morning the 12th. Pretty uninspiring stuff.
The real standout, and I mean the one you should circle on your calendar, is Saturday morning the 22nd of August. That's over a week away, so a bit of a long-range whisper, but the look of it is special. We've got 8ft of east swell, period up to 10 seconds – that's a really nice groundswell with plenty of punch. The wave energy is huge (1209), and with a light NNW cross-offshore breeze, it's gonna be clean. This is one for the experienced crew only, that size at this break is no joke for beginners.
Just before that, Friday morning the 21st of August is also a ripper. 7ft of east swell with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SSW and very strong energy (608). Expect some really good, solid waves to be on offer, but again, it's a powerful one.
The following Sunday morning the 23rd still looks good with 6ft east swell and clean conditions, but Saturday is the day.
So to sum it up: a whole lot of nothing for the first week, then a solid ramp-up into a couple of cracking days at the end of the run. Keep an eye on that Saturday the 22nd. 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.
