The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on offer down at Ann Street Peaks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions. It’s not a total flat spell, but the quality is just not there for most of the coming days. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 68° for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Our first real chance of a wave is Wednesday morning, August 5th. We’ve got a clean, glassy 3ft easterly swell with a period of 10 seconds pushing in. The combined energy is moderate at best (170), but that light WSW wind at 3 mph is making it look really tidy. It’s surfable, but the conditions are very ordinary, so don’t get your hopes up too high. The wind turns onshore that afternoon and ruins it.
Thursday morning, August 6th offers a similar deal – a clean 3ft east swell (103 energy) with a light cross-offshore breeze. Again, it’s surfable but nothing to write home about. The afternoon gets messy again.
From Friday the 7th all the way through to Wednesday the 19th, the reports are just a long list of “poor surf conditions” or “very ordinary”. Winds are mostly onshore, cross-shore, or just wrong for this spot. The swell hangs around in the 3ft to 4ft range, but with short periods (6-9 seconds) and choppy wind, it’s just not worth paddling out for a proper session. There’s a bit of a bump on Sunday the 9th where the combined energy hits 213, but it’s cross-on and marginal at best. The bigger days on Thursday the 13th afternoon (5ft, 305 energy) and Saturday the 15th afternoon (5ft) look like a choppy mess with onshore winds.
So, the standout here, if you can even call it that, is Wednesday morning, August 5th. It’s the only time the glassy conditions line up with a decent enough swell to make it worth a look. After that, we’ve got a solid two-week gap of poor quality. The swell direction is mostly east and southeast, which is okay for Ann Street Peaks, but the winds just aren’t cooperating. This stretch is one to skip, mate. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking like a long, flat, windy run.
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.
