The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next two weeks.
Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a slow start. Thursday the 27th is a write-off, just mushy little waves with a bit of cloud and a light breeze. Not worth getting wet for. You're better off waiting for Friday morning, the 28th. That's when things start to get interesting. We've got a solid 2.6ft SSW swell wrapping in, but the real story is the period jumping to 18 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and with a light cross-offshore wind from the West, it's going to be clean. The combined energy hits 681 (moderate), and the conditions are looking very good. This is a standout for the early part of the window.
The weekend (Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th) is mixed. Saturday morning looks clean with a 3.6ft SW swell and a light cross-off, but the afternoon gets choppy. Sunday is similar, with a nice clean morning and a 4.3ft SSW swell, but the afternoon turns onshore. Good mornings, if you can get out early.
Now, the real highlight is peaking on Monday the 31st. The morning starts with a 4.9ft SSW swell, a 15-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is strong at 1168. Then, Monday afternoon kicks it up a notch: 5.6ft of SSW swell, a 17-second period, and the wind goes glassy. The combined energy surges to 2823 (strong), and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best session on offer, no question.
The first week of September keeps the swell running. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd have solid 3.6ft to 4.3ft SW swells with fresh offshore winds, keeping it clean. But be wary of the wind strength on Tuesday morning – 35 km/h offshore is a lot of puff.
The second week goes big, but you need to be an expert. Friday the 4th sees a massive 14.8ft WSW swell hit, but it's too big for this break. The afternoon drops to 8.2ft, which is still only for the experienced. The 5th and 6th are similar, with 6.9ft to 9.8ft SW swells, and the Sunday the 6th afternoon is way too big again. The 8th and 9th look excellent for experts, with 6.6ft to 8.2ft SW swells, long 16-17 second periods, and clean offshore winds. The energy is strong (3636 on the 9th morning). The 11th morning also has a clean 6.2ft SW swell with a 17-second period, a great way to finish the run.
Don't expect much for the beginners. Anything over 5ft is getting big, and after the 31st, it's mostly over that. The very long period swells (15-17 seconds) will be best at the point, as they can close out the beach.
Short Range ForecastLight rain (total 2mm), mostly falling on Fri morning. Very mild (max 14°C on Thu afternoon, min 8°C on Wed night). Wind will be generally light. | Days 5-7 Weather SummaryMostly dry. Warm (max 20°C on Tue afternoon, min 9°C on Sat night). Winds increasing (calm on Sun afternoon, fresh winds from the NW by Tue morning). | ||||||||||||||||||

Information about the Anglesea Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Anglesea provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anglesea can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Anglesea 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 (Anglesea) 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 Anglesea 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.
Anglesea is 35 km (22 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
