The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty.
Right, so the local surf outlook for Anglesea is a slower starter, but there’s real promise as we move through the sixteen days. Don’t waste your energy on the first day or two, but there’s some cracking swell lined up if you’re patient.
There’s a bit of a lull right now—Friday the 11th is a write-off with a 6ft SSW swell and cross-on breeze, just messy. But come Saturday morning the 12th, we get a NNE wind at 6 mph, cross-off, with a 6ft SSW groundswell ticking over at 15 seconds, and combined swell energy of 1340 (moderate). The water’s 57°—about normal for the season. Saturday morning is clean and worth a paddle for the experienced crew, but it’s not the big show.
The first true ripper is Tuesday morning the 15th. We’re looking at a 10ft SW swell, period of 13 seconds, and combined energy of 5874 (strong). West-southwest winds at 16 mph, cross-off, so it’s clean. But this is a big one—way too big for beginners, only for experts. That’s your first week standout, no doubt.
Then after a few smaller days, Monday the 21st delivers another beauty. Monday morning sees a 8ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period, combined energy of 4575 (strong). Light N winds at 6 mph, cross-off, making for glassy, clean conditions. That long-period groundswell is beautiful but might run a bit straight at the beach, so a reef or point will handle it best. That’s your second standout.
Also keep Saturday the 26th in mind—1.4m to 1.6m (5ft to 5ft) SW swells, 17-second periods, offshore breezes, and clean, fun waves for experienced surfers. A solid runner-up.
Anglesea can get crowded now and then, so plan around that if you can. Overall, the first few days are quiet, but Tuesday the 15th and Monday the 21st are the ones to mark on the calendar. The 21st is a longer-range call, so treat it as promising but not locked in yet.
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.
