The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk feet and miles per hour. Right now, Ann Street Peaks is looking rough. From Sunday the 19th through Tuesday the 22nd, it’s all cross-shore wind, lumpy mess, and no shape. The combined energy is in the thousands (3074 on Sunday morning) but it’s just wind-slop. Not worth wetting your wetsuit.
Wednesday the 22nd starts to ease – a 7ft swell from the east at 9 seconds, energy 623, but still light cross-on wind. Marginal at best. Then Thursday the 23rd morning is the first real window: glassy conditions, 5ft ENE swell, 8 seconds, energy 304. Small but clean – perfect for a fish or a log. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be smooth. But it’s short – by afternoon the wind comes onshore and the quality drops.
Then it’s another long dry spell. Friday the 24th through Wednesday the 30th is mostly poor – cross-onshore winds, messy chop, and tiny waves. Energy values between 25 and 336, but nothing with any punch. A few mornings on the 28th and 29th are glassy or clean, but the swell is only 2ft or less – you’re just bobbing around.
Now the big one. Saturday the 1st of August morning is the standout. Glassy conditions, a solid 12ft ESE swell at 9 seconds, energy 1822. That’s significant groundswell with the right direction for the break. But at 12ft, it’s for experts only – too big for anyone without experience. The glassy wind means the waves will be clean, but expect heavy sets. Crowds are possible, so plan to beat the dawn patrol. This is the best session in the whole 16-day window.
Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd drop off quickly – still some size but wind picks up and quality fades. So if you’re chasing a proper wave, August 1st morning is the one. The rest is mostly small, windy, or a mix of both.

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.

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.
