G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you—this is a tough run for Ann Street Peaks. We’ve got a solid 16-day window in front of us, but the first week is pretty much a write-off, and the second week is flat. Don’t get your hopes up.
The pattern starts off with a lumpy mess. Monday the 6th of July through to Friday the 10th of July is all cross-shore wind and chop, with swell hanging around 5 ft to 8 ft but it’s short-period, wind-affected junk. The combined energy is moderate early on (741 on Monday morning) but it’s just not surfable—poor surf conditions across the board. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a steamer if you’re even thinking about it.
Now, there is a little glimmer. Saturday the 11th of July morning sees a drop in wind to a light breeze, cross-off from the SSW, and the swell drops to 3 ft from the ESE with a 10-second period. The water clears up and the waves look clean. It’s only a 2/10 rated window, but it’s the best we’ve seen. Sunday the 12th of July morning is similar—clean, cross-off from the NW, 3 ft from the ESE, 11-second period. That’s a tiny bit of groundswell energy (249 in the combined energy), and it’s clean. The break is a beach and reef, exposed to the ESE, and it’s fairly consistent, but crowds are possible here. Those two mornings are the standouts, but honestly, they’re small. Beginners will be fine with the size, but it’s not gonna get your heart racing.
After that, it all goes quiet. From Monday the 13th of July onward, the swell drops below 2 ft, and the combined energy sinks into double digits—down to 10 or 4 by the 15th. There’s a gap of about a week with no real surf on offer. Late in the window, the 17th and 18th of July see a spike in wind and some 5 ft swell, but it’s cross-onshore and messy—more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. The 20th and 21st of July have glassy conditions and offshore winds, but the swell is only 2 ft to 2 ft, so it’s barely rideable.
If you’re desperate, Saturday morning the 11th and Sunday morning the 12th of July are your best bets. Small, clean, and uncrowded—but bring a log. Otherwise, this run is a dud.
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.
