Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ann Street Peaks over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Ann Street Peaks in feet and miles per hour.
We start off a bit average on Friday the 10th. Morning brings waves around 6ft from the SE, with a short 10-second period, but a 9 mph cross-shore from the south messes it up with a slight chop. The combined energy is moderate at 1062. By afternoon it drops and goes poor. Not worth the leash.
Saturday the 11th morning is the first real glimmer. Swell drops to 3ft from the SE, with an 11-second period giving it some life (combined energy 231). The wind is light from the SSW at 3 mph, making it clean and cross-off. It’s small, but real clean. The afternoon goes onshore with a 2ft ESE swell, 13-second period (combined energy 262), but it’s blown.
Sunday the 12th is similar. Morning has 3ft of ESE swell, 11-second period, and a clean cross-off from the WNW at 9 mph (combined energy 215). Afternoon goes offshore but the swell is fading.
We hit a flat spell from Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 15th. Swell barely reaches 2ft, energy is weak—single or low double digits. Nothing.
Thursday the 16th brings a spike. Morning gets 6ft from the SSE at 9 seconds (combined energy 535), but a fresh 22 mph cross-shore from the south makes it lumpy. Afternoon jumps to 8ft of SSE swell at 10 seconds, with combined energy hitting 1844—strong. But a strong 25 mph cross-shore makes it messy. For experts only, and even then, tough conditions.
Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th keep the swell around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind stays cross-shore and conditions stay poor. Energy is moderate to strong, but not clean.
Now for the standout. Monday the 20th morning. After all that wind, we get a glassy morning. Swell is 3ft from the SE, 11-second period, combined energy 213. Wind is dead calm from the SW—glassy conditions. That’s your best session. The afternoon stays similar but goes onshore.
After that, Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd offer small, clean waves—around 2ft to 2ft—with light offshore or cross-off winds, but energy is weak (under 100). Surfable for a longboard.
From Wednesday afternoon through to Saturday the 25th, it’s flat. Swell drops below 2ft, periods shorten, and energy fades. By Saturday morning, it’s 1ft and glassy calm.
The pick is Monday the 20th morning. Small but glassy, clean, and the break is fairly consistent. It’s a beach and reef setup, and with the ESE optimum swell direction, it’s lining up nice. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
Thursday the 16th afternoon is for big-wave hunters who like a fight.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, but that Monday morning is the one.
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.
