Point Annihilation Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Point Annihilation has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a mixed bag, but a couple of sessions are lining up that are worth circling on the calendar.

The period kicks off with some decent energy, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The water is currently sitting at 55°, which feels a bit colder than normal for this time of year.

The first real standout looks to be Saturday morning, July 4th. We’re looking at a clean 5ft swell from the East with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 608. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the North, so the lineup should be pretty well groomed. It’s not huge, but it’s a great way to start the weekend. Expect more of the same in the afternoon, though a touch smaller.

Sunday is a step down in size and quality, and Monday is a write-off with a tiny, short-period swell. Hold out for Tuesday, July 7th. This is the premium window. The morning and afternoon both look glassy with a clean 6ft east swell. That combined energy is sitting at a solid 766, which means there’s real push in the water. The glassy conditions are a huge positive here—clean, lined-up waves for the intermediate crew.

Wednesday and Thursday see the swell building but the wind turns messy. By Friday, July 10th, things get pretty wild and blown out with a strong onshore flow. The swell jumps to 8ft and then 13ft, but with strong cross-onshore winds, it’s going to be a washing machine. That session is more for the kite crew. The guts of the second week, from the 11th to the 13th, look too big and lumpy for a good paddle session.

There’s a bit of a lull before the next promising window. Wednesday morning, July 15th shows some promise with a 4ft long-period swell from the South (14 seconds), and the combined energy is moderate at 639. The wind is light cross-off from the North, which should keep the reef lines clean.

The final, and perhaps best distant call, is Thursday morning, July 16th. This one stands out for the quality forecast. A clean 4ft South swell with a very long 15-second period, combined energy of 839, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the North. Long-period swells like this are a treat on a reef setup like Point Annihilation, offering real power and deep lines. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the one to get excited about.

After that, the swell drops right off into the following weekend, with only small, weak leftovers.

Keep it salty,
Rusty
