The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. The 16-day window starts with a bit of a wait, I’m afraid. The first few days are a write-off – big, messy, wind-affected stuff. We’re looking at a gap of about three days before anything even comes close to being worth a paddle.

The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come around until Thursday morning, 23 July. Ann Street Peaks is looking at a small 4ft swell from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW, which should keep things clean. The combined energy is weak at 169, so it’s not going to be a day for power, but for a sneaky session on a small board, it’s the first window we’ve got.

Then the wind cranks up again, and we’re back to lumpy, messy conditions right through until the end of July. There’s a big pulse of swell on the 24th – 10ft from the SE – but it’s coupled with a fresh cross-shore wind that’ll tear it to pieces. Not worth it.

Things start to look a lot more interesting as we roll into August. The standout session of the whole outlook is Saturday morning, 1 August. The wind drops right out – glassy conditions from the south at just 3 mph. The swell is a small 3ft, but it’s from the ESE with a very long period of 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and it’ll wrap in nicely at this beach and reef setup. The combined energy is moderate at 231, and with the water temp sitting at 69°F (about normal for this time of year), it’s going to be a clean, beautiful morning. The crowds are *sometimes* a problem here, so get there early for the good ones. This is the pick of the lot.

Sunday morning, 2 August, is also worth a look – glassy again with a 2ft easterly swell and an 11-second period, but it’s really small. A fun way to end the weekend if you’ve got a log.

Beyond that, the forecast gets sketchy again. There’s a pulse of long-period swell on the 31st of July, but it’s onshore and messy. The long-range stuff for the first week of August looks promising but isn’t locked in yet.

So, to sum it up: the first few days are a right-off. Don’t bother. The morning of Thursday 23 July is a small, clean window. But the real gem is Saturday morning, 1 August – glassy, long-period groundswell, clean conditions. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.

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.
