The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this outlook for Ann Street Peaks is a bit of a story. It’s a beach and reef setup, exposed to the swell, and it’s fairly consistent, but the wind and conditions are gonna be a battle for most of the next fortnight.
We kick off on Wednesday the 15th of July, and honestly, the first week is a write-off. The onshore winds are relentless, mostly from the SSE and S, blowing fresh to strong. The sea is lumpy, cross-choppy, and just plain ugly. Even though the swell builds from 4 ft up to a solid 13 ft by Monday the 20th, the wind ruins it. The combined wave energy climbs from a weak 76 up to a massive 3621 by Monday afternoon, which is a lot of power, but it’s all messy and cross-onshore. This is not a paddle session; with that strong wind and those conditions, it’d be more interesting for kite surfing.
You have to wait until the very end of the period for a real glimmer. Saturday the 25th of July morning is the standout. The swell drops to 3 ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds, but the wind? Glassy. Flat calm. A light SSW breeze, zero wind. It’s a clean, glassy morning. The energy is a weak 156, so it’s not big, but for a clear, clean wave on a Saturday morning, you take it. This is the best session on offer, and it’s for intermediates.
Then on Monday the 27th of July, we get another couple of glassy windows. The swell is even smaller, down to 2 ft from the east, with a light offshore or glassy wind. The energy is down to 53 and 70 – tiny, weak waves. But again, the surface is clean. For a longboard or a funboard, it’s worth a look if you’re desperate.
The water temperature sits at 68°F, which is about a degree and a half colder than normal for this time of year, so it’s noticeable but not crazy.
The rest of the second week is a mix of small, weak swell and onshore wind. Nothing to get excited about. The 30th of July morning has a bit of 5 ft east-southeast swell with a gentle cross-shore, but it’s marginal at best. The long gap of poor-to-marginal surf from the 15th through to the 24th is a real downer, but the glassy windows at the end are the only real highlights.
So, for the best bet: Saturday the 25th of July morning. Small, clean, glassy. Don’t expect a barrel, do expect a nice session.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
