Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got.
To be honest, we’re looking at a long dry spell. There’s a big gap right from the start with nothing really worth paddling for until the very end of the forecast window. Over a week of junk before we even get a whiff of something surfable.
The only spot we’ve got is Ann Street Peaks. It’s a beach and reef setup, and it’s fairly consistent, but that doesn’t help when the conditions are this lousy for so long.
Kicking off on Friday morning, July 3rd. There’s a small bump of swell, 2ft from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds. It’s clean with a light cross-off breeze, and the water temperature is 69°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year. The wave energy is moderate (176). It’s surfable, but it’s nothing to write home about.
Then it’s a total wipeout. From Saturday the 4th all the way through to Tuesday the 14th, it’s just a parade of poor surf conditions. We get cross-shore and onshore winds, lumpy chop, and a mix of weak, short-period swell. Sure, there’s some size on Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th—swell up to 8ft—but with fresh onshore winds, it’s a washing machine. Only for the hardcore, and even then, it’s not really surfable. The longer period (12 seconds) on Wednesday morning the 8th brings some energy (438), but again it’s cross-shore and onshore, so it’s messy.
After a long, quiet stretch, we get a tiny glimmer on Tuesday morning, July 14th. A little 2ft swell from the NE, with a clean cross-off wind from the NNW. It’s surfable, but still very ordinary. The energy is low (51). A small window of clean conditions, but the swell is barely there.
Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th offer glassy conditions, but the swell is microscopic—0.7ft to 1ft. You’d be surfing ripples. The long period (14-15 seconds) on Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th is interesting for such small waves, but with S and SSW winds gusting up to 28 mph, it’s just a blown-out mess.
So, your best bet, if you can call it that, is Tuesday morning, July 14th at Ann Street Peaks with that 2ft NE swell and light wind. Even then, it’s a stretch. The rest of the window is a dud. This area can have blank runs, and this is one of them.
Hang in there. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough 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.

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.
