G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at what’s coming for Ann Street Peaks – a beach and reef spot that’s fairly consistent and open to ESE swells. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing special.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th have swell but the wind is cross or cross-on, making it choppy and messy. Wednesday morning shows 7 ft SE swell (energy around 2023) but it’s marginal with moderate cross-shore chop – not worth suiting up. Thursday morning is similar with 5 ft SE (638) and cross wind. Afternoons are worse. Friday the 10th is no better, with 6 ft SE (977) but poor conditions. Skip the start.
Saturday the 11th is the real standout. That morning goes glassy – just 3 mph from the SSW, dead calm. Swell drops to 3 ft SE at 10 seconds, energy at 257, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” It’s small but clean, perfect for an intermediate surfer, and crowds are only sometimes an issue. The swell direction matches the optimum ESE. If you’ve got a longboard or a fish, this is your session.
Sunday the 12th morning also looks solid – 3 ft ESE swell (200) with a moderate offshore breeze from the WSW at 12 mph, clean waves. Not big but nice shape. The afternoon goes cross-off, still clean but smaller. Then it fades fast. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are tiny – 2 ft and 1.0 ft – with poor conditions and energy dropping to 26-52. Almost flat.
There’s a long dry spell from Monday the 13th afternoon right through Saturday the 19th. Most of it is poor surf with moderate to fresh cross or cross-on winds. The swell comes up a bit (4-5 ft SE/ESE) but it’s lumpy or choppy. Not worth the drive.
We get a small improvement on Monday the 21st – morning sees 5 ft ESE swell (223) with light cross-off wind and clean conditions, “expect good surf.” That’s a decent small-wave option if you’re keen, but it’s over a week out so don’t lock it in. The afternoon turns onshore and marginal. After that, Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd are ordinary again – 4 ft E swell but cross or onshore winds.
Best call? Saturday the 11th morning – glassy, clean, and fun on a small board. Sunday the 12th morning is second best. The rest is mostly a pass.

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.
