Point Annihilation Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Looking at Point Annihilation for the next stretch—it’s a reef and point that holds south swell well, fairly consistent, with water running a bit colder than normal for this time of year, about 55° Fahrenheit. There’s a slow start, but a couple of real windows if you’re patient.

The first few days are weak. Friday the 11th has a clean 2ft south swell with a long 18-second period and a light offshore east wind—a fun little glassy afternoon, but the energy is weak (450). Saturday the 12th is blown out with a cross-on breeze and chop. Sunday the 13th pushes up to 8ft, but it’s cross-on and messy, poor conditions all day.

Monday the 14th is your first proper standout. The wind swings offshore from the NNE, and it’s clean with 7ft of south swell and a 12-second period. Energy is moderate (1128). The afternoon keeps it going with a NE offshore breeze, 6ft, still clean and lining up. Tuesday the 15th morning is even glassier with 4ft and light wind—smaller but perfect. Afternoon stays offshore and rideable.

Then it goes flat. Wednesday the 16th drops to 2ft or less with weak energy. Thursday the 17th is almost nothing. It stays poor and small from Wednesday the 16th through Friday the 18th, so that’s a good stretch to find something else to do.

The next real pulse comes Saturday the 19th. Overnight it builds to 6ft of south groundswell at 16 seconds, with light N wind and clean conditions. Energy is strong at 1739. This is the bigger, more powerful day—for experienced surfers, get out early. It’s a touch smaller in the afternoon and gets a little cross-shore, but the morning is the one.

Sunday the 20th is a washout: fresh onshore winds and huge, messy surf, up to 16ft by afternoon with short period. Stay off. Monday the 21st turns glassy again with 7ft from the SSE, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s soft and lumpy. The afternoon is better with a light offshore and 5ft, but still short-period. Just okay.

The energy fades again mid-week. There are a couple of small clean days around the 22nd, but nothing with any push. Then Friday the 25th brings another solid pulse: 6ft of south groundswell at 12 seconds, light ENE offshore in the morning, clean. This is another good, consistent window. Saturday the 26th holds with 5-5ft, same direction, offshore winds both sessions. This late run is the most consistent of the second week.

Overall, the top picks are Monday the 14th for the clean offshore surf and Saturday the 19th morning for the size and power. The second week’s Friday and Saturday are also worth an early paddle. There are some dead days in between, but a point this reliable usually finds a way to turn on.

Rusty out.
