The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next 16 days are looking tough for Ann Street Peaks. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands, with only a few moments that might get you wet, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. The first real surfable window doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 29th of July, and even then, it’s far from firing.
The standout session, if you can call it that, is Wednesday morning the 29th of July. The wind drops right out, going glassy with a slight air. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the east, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (54), so it’s not going to have any punch. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. This is a beginner-friendly wave, as it’s well under 5ft, and the glassy conditions will make it feel clean. But don’t expect much drive. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
After that, the forecast turns into a real grind. Most days are a write-off with poor surf conditions and cross-shore or cross-onshore winds. The swell ticks up a bit around the end of July and into the first week of August, hitting 5ft to 5ft, but the wind is always on it, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy climbs into the moderate range (174 to 233), but it’s all windswell with a short period, so the quality is just not there for paddle surfing. If you’re into kites, this stretch of beach-and-reef setup from the 31st of July through to the 6th of August might look more interesting than it does for us.
We get one more glassy moment on Tuesday morning the 4th of August. The wind is dead calm, zero, glassy. The swell is small, just 2ft from the southeast with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (105). Again, surfable but very ordinary. It’s clean, but you’ll be fighting for scraps.
The last glimmer of hope is on Monday morning the 10th of August. The wind goes glassy again, light, from the south at 3 mph. The swell is 3ft from the southeast, period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (52). It’s clean, but very small.
Overall, it’s a bleak run. There’s a gap of about 4 days between the 29th of July and the 4th of August with no real surf on offer, and another gap after that. Don’t hold your breath. The area is known for these blank runs, so it’s not a total surprise. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but as it stands, leave the boards in the car.
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.
