Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about what Saint Annes is doing for us.
Well, I ain't gonna sugarcoat it – the first chunk of this 16-day run is a total dud. From Thursday, July 2nd, all the way up to Tuesday, July 8th, it's poor surf. The wind is onshore, the waves are tiny, and it's just choppy and ugly. You can leave the board in the car for that whole first week.
Come the afternoon of Wednesday, July 8th, the energy finally starts to pick up (we’re talking 1326 on the composite scale), but it’s a short-period, wind-affected mess with crosswind. Not worth it. That carries on into Thursday, July 9th.
Friday, July 10th is your best day of this whole outlook. The morning brings a clean 6ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, and a light offshore wind from the SSW at 6 mph. That is going to groom the reef at Saint Annes (Jersey) beautifully. Water temp is 58°F, so a little cooler than average for July – you'll want the rubber on. The afternoon is even better, with 5ft swell and a glassy, light offshores from the SW at 3 mph. That's your session.
After that, the consistency drops and the onshore wind comes back until the next proper window.
That window is Wednesday, July 15th in the afternoon. We get a tiny groundswell, just 2ft, but it's coming from the WNW with a super-long 19-second period, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm at 3 mph from the SW. It will be clean as a whistle. For a reef break like Saint Annes, that long period will wrap around and give you drawn-out lines, but the wait between sets will be long. The energy is moderate (635), so there's some push in there, just not much of it.
Thursday, July 16th still has some WNW swell (3ft, 17 seconds), but the wind swings cross-onshore, ruining the clean conditions from the day before. Still a better option than that first week.
The forecast ends on Friday, July 17th with little, inconsistent swell and a light offshore breeze. You could sneak a wave, but it's nothing to write home about.
So to boil it down: Friday, July 10th is your cleanest bet with offshore winds, and Wednesday, July 15th afternoon if you want glassy, long-period lines.
Rusty.

Information about the Saint Annes Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Saint Annes provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Saint Annes can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Saint Annes 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 (Saint Annes) 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 Saint Annes 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.
