G'day, Rusty here. Let's chat about Anglesea for the next couple of weeks. It's a mixed bag, but there are a few clean windows worth looking at.
The standout session will be Wednesday morning, July 8th. The water temp is sitting at a standard 58° for this time of year. We've got a solid 5ft groundswell from the SW with a very long 18-second period pumping moderate energy (1604). The wind is glassy, so the face will be smooth as silk. That's a beautiful setup for the experienced crew – a real treat.
Before that, Tuesday morning, July 7th, is also looking good. A touch smaller at 3ft from the SSW with a 16-second period (939 energy), and the wind is glassy again. Perfect for a slow, clean session. Monday morning, July 6th, sees a 4ft SSW swell (809 energy) with a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping it clean.
Now for the bad news. This weekend and the start of next week are a write-off. Friday afternoon, July 3rd, and Saturday, July 4th, have a big 12ft SW groundswell (9033 and 5155 energy) that's just too powerful for this break. Sunday, July 5th, and most of the following week see onshore or strong cross-shore wind messing up the lineup. Monday, July 13th, brings another massive pulse of 10ft to 12ft SW swell (2825 to 3298 energy) that this break can't handle. That's followed by days of howling S and SSW winds on the 14th, 15th, and 16th making a real mess. It'll be more of a kite surfer's playground than a paddle surfer's.
The second week has a few flickers of hope. Friday morning, July 17th, has a 5ft SW swell (1336 energy) but the cross-on breeze will make it choppy. Saturday morning, July 18th, is small at 4ft SW (558 energy) with light winds, but it's looking marginal.
Rusty.

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.
