The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here again. Let’s break down this Anglesea run in feet and knots.
We’ve got a solid run of SW groundswells that’s going to keep the experienced crew busy. The water temp is about right for the season, so you’ll still need a wetsuit.
The first real action kicks off Monday morning, the 3rd of August. We’ve got a clean 3-4ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period and a 25 km/h offshore breeze from the NW. The combined energy is 817 (moderate), and the call is “expect very good surf conditions.” It’s a great start to the week.
Tuesday the 4th bumps up to 5ft, but the wind swings cross-off and the period drops, making it more marginal.
The pick of the early week is Friday, the 7th. A clean 3ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period and a light offshore NW breeze. The combined energy is 504 (moderate), and it’s “good surf conditions.” A nice, clean, long-period day.
The big standout is Monday, the 10th of August. The morning session fires with a 5ft SW groundswell at a very long 17-second period. The wind is offshore from the WNW at 15 km/h, giving “gentle offshore and clean” conditions. The combined energy hits 1404 (strong), and the wave comment is “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is a proper groundswell event for the experienced crew.
After that, Tuesday the 11th holds a clean 4ft SW swell, and Wednesday the 12th morning sees a solid 5-6ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period and offshore wind, rated excellent for experienced surfers. But Wednesday afternoon the swell jumps to 10ft, which is too big for this spot.
The end of the run has another big one on Saturday, the 15th of August. The morning has a 7-8ft SW groundswell with a very long 20-second period and offshore NW winds. The combined energy is a massive 4003 (very strong), and the wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s a serious, heavy session for experts only.
There’s a few quiet days around the 8th and 9th, but the rest of the run keeps offering. The 7-8ft swell on the 15th is the big standout for the second week, but it’s a long-range call, so stay tuned.
Rusty out.

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.
