Point Annihilation Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got Point Annihilation in the spotlight—a reef and point setup that’s got good exposure and the right direction. The water’s sitting at about 54°F right now, which is a bit cooler than average for this time of year, so you might want an extra layer.

The first few days are pretty ordinary. On Thursday the 13th, early morning brings a weak 3ft swell from the SE with a short period of 9 seconds and only moderate energy (200). There’s light offshore wind, keeping things clean, but the waves are small and conditions are just okay. That afternoon drops to 3ft, and the wind picks up stronger from the NE. It’s surfable but nothing special.

Friday the 14th is a fade—morning drops to 1ft, and by afternoon it’s a tiny 0.7ft with a weirdly long 14-second period from the ESE. That kind of period on a small wave means a lot of waiting for not much.

Now, Saturday the 15th is where it gets interesting. Morning brings a solid 7ft swell from the E, with moderate energy (702) and clean conditions thanks to light cross-off winds. That’s a good-looking window—shape will be decent, and it’s not too big for a confident intermediate. But by afternoon, the wind swings SE and goes cross-shore, and quality drops. So morning is the session to aim for.

Sunday the 16th through Wednesday the 19th—honestly, it’s a write-off. We’ve got strong onshore winds, big lumpy swell pushing 8ft up to 15ft, and energy readings like 1013 to 5816. That’s a lot of power, but the wind is a nightmare. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than paddle surfing, unless you’re an expert who doesn’t mind chaos.

The 20th is still marginal. You’ve got 8ft to 8ft from the S with solid energy, but winds are cross-onshore or onshore and it looks choppy. Only for the desperate.

Here’s the real standout—Friday the 21st. This is the one to circle. Morning goes glassy—dead calm—with a clean 5ft S swell and a nice 11-second period and moderate energy (689). That’s groundswell, it’ll line up beautifully on this point. Afternoon’s just as good, 5ft with cross-off wind from the ENE. Clean, clean, clean. Best session of the whole forecast.

Saturday the 22nd is still pretty good—morning is average but the afternoon turns glassy with 4ft S swell and moderate energy (375). Nice little session for a longboard.

After that, we dip. Sunday the 23rd is tiny—3ft—not worth much. Monday the 24th morning brings back the glass with 4ft and a clean S swell, good for a cruise.

Then on Tuesday the 25th, we get another proper highlight. Morning delivers a 6ft S swell with a very long 14-second period and strong energy (1092). Wind from the north is cross-off, so the point should hold nice, clean lines. Afternoon is similar with 5ft and offshore NE wind. This is the second real standout.

From Wednesday the 26th onward, it fades. The 26th is okay—4ft with clean cross-off—but by Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th we’re down to 2ft and then 0.7ft. Nothing to rush for.

So: first week’s a slow burner, but Saturday morning the 15th is fun, and the absolute gems are Friday the 21st and Tuesday the 25th. Get on those.

Rusty.
