The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's run through the same outlook for Ann Street Peaks, but in feet and Fahrenheit.
The next 16 days are a grind. The water's running a bit colder than normal, sitting at 68°F on Monday afternoon—a bit of a chill.
The first chance to surf is a dud. Monday afternoon, the 10th, we've got a messy 4ft swell from the NNE with a short period. The wind is a cross-off at 16 mph, keeping the surface clean, but the wave energy is weak (247) and the quality is poor.
Tuesday the 11th starts with a 2ft East swell, still with a cross-off wind. The real window is Tuesday afternoon. The wind goes light offshore from the West at 6 mph, and the swell drops to 2ft from the East. The energy is weak (84), but the conditions are clean. It's just surfable, nothing more.
Wednesday morning the 12th is the best of a bad bunch. Glassy conditions with a 2ft East swell and a period of 9 seconds. The energy is a tiny 81, but for a short window, the waves will be clean and small. That's the highlight. After that, it's all chop.
From Wednesday afternoon onward, the wind goes onshore or cross-shore, and the swell gets bigger but completely ruined. We see a rising swell through the 15th and 16th, hitting 5ft from the SE on Saturday afternoon, but with a strong onshore wind at 16 mph, it's just a mess. The energy picks up (214), but the quality is gone. The same pattern holds through the 17th, 18th, and 19th, with swell around 5ft to 6ft from the ESE, all with cross-onshore winds. This is windsurfing or kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing.
The period from the 20th to the 25th is a long stretch of poor quality. The swell stays between 2ft and 5ft, but the wind is never right. The energy is moderate at best (322 on the 20th, dropping to 69 by the 25th), but the wind is either cross or cross-on, creating chop and lumpy conditions. Thursday the 20th has a 5ft SE swell with a cross-shore wind, which might be the least bad option for a strong surfer, but it's still poor.
So, the honest truth: there's no real standout. Wednesday morning the 12th is your only window for a clean, tiny wave. Everything else is a battle with the wind. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, this is a lean period for Ann Street Peaks.
Rusty.
