The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty average for Ann Street Peaks, with a massive swell early on but the wind is just not playing ball. We’ve got a rough start with a big, powerful groundswell that’s blown to bits, so you’ll have to wait a few days for anything decent.
Up first, Monday the 20th, we’re hit with a solid 12ft east-southeast groundswell with a period of 10 seconds, packing a ton of energy (2733). But the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore, and it’s just lumpy, messy, and poor. Not a chance. Tuesday stays similar, swell drops to 8ft but still cross-on and choppy. That southeast wind is ruining it.
Wednesday the 22nd, the swell drops to 6ft, and the wind eases to a light cross-on. It’s borderline, but the energy is still moderate (617). The water is about average for this time of year.
Things finally clean up on Thursday morning, the 23rd. That’s your standout window. The swell is a clean 4ft from the east, period 8 seconds, and it’s glassy. Wind is a light 3 mph from the southwest—offshore for this spot. The energy is moderate (204) and the break is fairly consistent. It’s a beach and reef setup, so with that period it should offer some fun, peeling waves. This is the best on offer in the whole run. Get out there.
Thursday afternoon the wind switches and it goes ugly again. Friday through the weekend, the swell is small and the wind is messy. Saturday the 25th has a clean 3ft wave with a light cross-off wind, but it’s just surfable, nothing special.
The second week is a write-off for quality surf. Swell stays tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is either cross, cross-on, or onshore. There’s a brief pulse of long-period swell from the southeast on the 31st of July, period 14 seconds, but it’s only 2ft to 2ft. The energy is low (134), and the break is a beach and reef, so that long period might make it a bit straight. Still, it’s clean with a light cross-off wind, so if you’re desperate, you could get a few small ones.
The first week of August is just a downward spiral of small, windy, poor conditions. Nothing to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: Thursday morning, July 23rd, is your day. Head to Ann Street Peaks for clean, glassy 4ft waves from the east. The rest of the window is a bit of a struggle.

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.
