Table - best surf conditions forecast for Saint Annes over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got coming up for Saint Annes.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks look like a bit of a mixed bag, and a lot of the time, the conditions just aren't going to come together. We'll see some small, clean windows, but for the most part, it's going to be a waiting game. We're looking at a pretty long stretch from the start of the second week through the end of the forecast where the surf just isn't worth getting wet.
The first real chance to get out will be Friday, July 10th. It's not a headliner by any stretch. Friday morning has some small clean swell, about 3 ft from the SSW, with that long 16-second period giving it some nice energy. The wind is light onshore, which isn't ideal, and the water is sitting at 57°. That's a bit colder than we're used to this time of year. The overall energy is moderate (695). Friday afternoon picks up in size to 7 ft from the NW, but the period drops to 9 seconds, and we get a cross-onshore wind. It'll be lumpy.
Sunday, July 12th, afternoon is actually a small standout. We get a glassy surface with that same small 3 ft SSW swell and a solid 14-second period. The energy ticks up a bit (535). It's not big, but clean conditions on a reef break like this will make it super fun. Monday, July 13th, afternoon has a similar window – glassy and clean with 3 ft SSW swell. These are your best bets for the near term.
But then things go sideways. From Tuesday, July 14th, all the way through the end of the forecast on Saturday, July 25th, it's poor. The wind is howling from the WNW and NW, with speeds up to 19 mph, and the swell gets messy and choppy. There's a day on July 15th where the swell jumps to 10 ft, but with a short 8-second period and strong crosswind, that’s only for experts. Honestly, with that kind of wind and the beach setup, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddling out.
There are some tiny windows with small, long-period groundswell late in the second week, like the 1 ft at 21 seconds on July 25th, but the wind is never right. It's a long dry spell. Don't hold your breath.
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.

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.
