Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ann Street Peaks over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Ann Street Peaks.
To be straight with you, the first week is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a lot of poor conditions and small, messy energy. The real standout window is a bit further out, but let’s take it day by day.
Friday morning the 10th kicks off with a 6ft swell from the SE, but it’s a cross-shore wind and the water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 69°. The surf is marginal, and the combined energy is moderate at 1006. It’s not worth getting excited about. That afternoon and into Saturday, the swell drops fast. Saturday morning the 11th sees a cleaner 3ft SE swell with a light cross-offshore wind, and the combined energy drops to 231. It’s small, but clean. Saturday afternoon the wind goes onshore, so don’t plan on a session then.
Sunday through Tuesday the 14th is a steady decline. Swell sizes drop below 2ft and the energy is weak (down to 22). It’s essentially flat with poor surf. Wednesday the 15th is a write-off, with a strong onshore wind building a lumpy 3ft SE windswell. Thursday the 16th through Saturday the 18th sees a big pulse of short-period, lumpy swell – 7ft to 12ft from the SE – but it’s all cross-onshore and choppy. The energy is strong (3391 on the 18th), but for paddle surfing, it’s a nope. Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, that Saturday the 18th might look interesting, but not for a surfboard.
Now, the standouts. After a pretty grim run, things finally turn. On Monday the 21st we get a decent morning. Expect a 4ft swell from the East, a clean 9-second period, and a light offshore wind from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate at 220. This is the best window of the whole outlook. The waves will be clean and lined up for this beach-and-reef setup. The next morning, Tuesday the 22nd, is also clean with a 3ft E swell, but it’s smaller. That Monday morning is the clear pick, but it’s more than a week away, so keep an eye on it.
For the rest of the second week, it’s small again. The 23rd and 24th offer glassy, tiny waves (2ft and 1ft), but nothing worth paddling out for. The swell energy is weak.
So, the best bet is Monday morning, July 21st, at Ann Street Peaks. Clean 4ft E swell, offshore wind, moderate energy. Lock it in if you can, but treat it as promising for now. The rest of the window is a lean spell.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
