The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for Anglesea.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the good stuff is comin’. The first few days of the forecast are a bit of a write-off, with small, weak swell and some tricky winds. Things really start to get interesting on Wednesday, July 29th, and that’s where our focus is gonna be.
The standout of the whole window is Wednesday afternoon, July 29th. A massive 15ft swell from the SW is gonna be pounding in, with a solid 15-second period. The combined energy is a staggering 11100, which is huge. Winds are a moderate cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, so it should be clean. This is big, powerful, expert-only territory. It’s way too big for beginners and will be a serious test for anyone. If you’re an experienced surfer, this is the one to wait for. The water temp is about 57°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Don’t miss Thursday afternoon, July 30th, either. The swell backs off to a much more manageable 8ft from the SW, with a 13-second period and a combined energy of 2337. Winds are a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, making for clean conditions. It’s a fantastic option for experienced surfers, offering a solid, powerful wave without the extreme size.
Friday, July 31st, gives us a nice little glass-off on the afternoon. The swell is a modest 3ft from the SSW, with a 12-second period. The wind goes totally glassy from the SSE, and the combined energy is 392. It’s a lot smaller, but for a beginner or a longboarder, that glassy window will be pure bliss.
After that, the wave sizes stay relatively small and are mostly in the 3ft to 5ft range for the first week of August. Conditions are often clean, but nothing major is happening. The second week, from August 6th onward, fades into smaller, weaker swells, with the occasional burst of clean but tiny surf. There’s a nasty run of poor, choppy conditions from August 9th to the 11th, so you’ll want to avoid that.
Overall, the big daddy is Wednesday afternoon, July 29th, for the experts, with Thursday afternoon, July 30th, being a close second for the strong intermediate crew.
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.
