Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Ann Street Peaks is throwing at us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this run and there’s a whole lot of nothing for the first week. The wind is messy, the swell is either crossed up or just weak, and the water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 68°, sitting about 3° below average. It’s not a total write-off, but it’s gonna take some patience.
The pattern starts to shift on the weekend. Saturday the 11th stays clean for the morning, with a light cross-off breeze and a small 3 ft SE swell – not much push, but the conditions are tidy. That’s a ‘look but don’t get too excited’ kind of day.
Sunday the 12th is the one true standout in this whole outlook. We’ve got glassy conditions – dead calm, zero wind. The swell is still on the small side at 3 ft from the ESE, but the period is a solid 11 seconds, so it’s got a bit of shape and energy behind it. The combined energy is moderate (251). For a spot like Ann Street Peaks, that glassy morning is the best you’re gonna get. Get in early, enjoy the clean lines.
After Sunday, the energy drops right off. The swell fades into the 2 ft range and below, and the combined energy slumps into the double digits (63). It’s a long stretch of small, weak surf with occasional clean pockets, like Monday the 13th morning and again on Sunday the 19th with a light offshore breeze. But honestly, it’s just small stuff.
The second week is mostly marginal. You’ll see a little bump around the 15th and 16th, but the period is short, around 4 to 6 seconds, and the wind is cross or cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be lumpy and weak. Nothing to write home about.
If you’re a kite surfer, the bigger, messier days like Wednesday afternoon the 8th with 7 ft and cross-onshore wind might look more interesting than for a paddle surfer. For the rest of us, the only reliable call is Sunday the 12th morning. Don’t sleep on that glass.
Stay patient, watch the forecasts, and don’t get too excited about the long-range stuff. It’s quiet out there.
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.
