The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on offer down at Ann Street Peaks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions. It’s not a total flat spell, but the quality is just not there for most of the coming days. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 68° for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Our first real chance of a wave is Wednesday morning, August 5th. We’ve got a clean, glassy 3ft easterly swell with a period of 10 seconds pushing in. The combined energy is moderate at best (170), but that light WSW wind at 3 mph is making it look really tidy. It’s surfable, but the conditions are very ordinary, so don’t get your hopes up too high. The wind turns onshore that afternoon and ruins it.
Thursday morning, August 6th offers a similar deal – a clean 3ft east swell (103 energy) with a light cross-offshore breeze. Again, it’s surfable but nothing to write home about. The afternoon gets messy again.
From Friday the 7th all the way through to Wednesday the 19th, the reports are just a long list of “poor surf conditions” or “very ordinary”. Winds are mostly onshore, cross-shore, or just wrong for this spot. The swell hangs around in the 3ft to 4ft range, but with short periods (6-9 seconds) and choppy wind, it’s just not worth paddling out for a proper session. There’s a bit of a bump on Sunday the 9th where the combined energy hits 213, but it’s cross-on and marginal at best. The bigger days on Thursday the 13th afternoon (5ft, 305 energy) and Saturday the 15th afternoon (5ft) look like a choppy mess with onshore winds.
So, the standout here, if you can even call it that, is Wednesday morning, August 5th. It’s the only time the glassy conditions line up with a decent enough swell to make it worth a look. After that, we’ve got a solid two-week gap of poor quality. The swell direction is mostly east and southeast, which is okay for Ann Street Peaks, but the winds just aren’t cooperating. This stretch is one to skip, mate. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking like a long, flat, windy run.
Rusty.
