G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the start of this outlook is a bit ordinary. We've got some swell rolling in on Wednesday the 8th of July, with a 7ft SE swell, but the wind is a mongrel – cross-shore and howling at 16 mph, making a mess of things. The water temp is 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. Honestly, it's a write-off for a paddle. The combined swell energy is strong at 1291, but it’s being wasted on a cross-chop. If you’ve got a kite, this setup might look interesting, but for a surfboard, just give it a miss.
The rest of the first week is a bit of a flat run. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th see the swell drop and the wind staying ugly. We don't get a real look-in until Saturday the 11th of July. Now, the morning is worth a mention. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SE with a period of 10 seconds and light cross-offshore winds from the SSW at just 6 mph. The combined energy is weak at 226, and it’s not big, but for a little grovel on a longboard, the conditions are clean. Don't expect a crowd, but it could be a fun session if you're just keen to get wet.
Sunday the 12th stays small, with 3ft to 3ft ESE swells. The morning has a gentle offshore breeze from the W, and the afternoon goes glassy with zero wind. It’s still pretty ordinary, but you could scratch a few waves. From there, it's a long stretch of flatness, with wave heights dropping to 0.7ft or less through to the end of the week. This is a bit of a blank run, which isn't that usual for the area, but it happens.
Now, looking further out, we've got something a fair bit more promising on the horizon. By Monday the 20th of July, the swell starts to trickle back up, and then on Tuesday the 21st, we get a proper pulse. The morning shows a 4ft ESE swell with a long 13-second period and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 19 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 550. The quality is "marginal", but this is the best on offer across the whole outlook. This is a groundswell with serious energy, and it's going to be best at a place like Ann Street Peaks that can handle that long period. It’s not for beginners at 4ft, and the side-offshore wind should keep it fairly clean. Keep an eye on this one for a paddle. Wednesday the 22nd holds similar conditions with 4ft to 4ft swells from the ESE, still with a respectable 12-13 second period and clean wind. This is your standout window for the whole 16 days.
After that, the swell fades back to small lines as we head into the end of the period.
So, in short, this week is a right-off. Next week is flat. But keep your eye on Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd of July. That's when we might get some decent, clean waves at Ann Street Peaks.
Stay stoked, and I'll see you in the water.
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.
