The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin' for Anglesea over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the month finishes strong with some real promise. Right now, Monday morning is kicking off with some clean little 4ft runners from the SSW, with a 14-second period and a decent bit of energy behind 'em (545). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW, so the surface should be clean and inviting. It’s a gentle start, but it’s surfable.
The middle of the week gets a bit ordinary. Tuesday and Wednesday see the swell hanging around, but the wind starts swinging around and we get cross-shore choppiness, making it more of a mission than a joy. The energy drops a bit too.
Then, look here – Friday the 28th morning is where things start to get interesting. We’ve got a 4ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds and moderate energy (802). The wind is a clean offshore from the NNW. This is a proper point-break kind of swell. The long period means sets will be well-spaced, but for a spot like Anglesea, that’s a good thing – it’ll hold up nicely. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
The following week, from Monday the 31st of August through Wednesday the 2nd of September, is the real standout window. Monday morning has 4ft SW swell with a 14-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and very good conditions. The energy is cranking (1173). Then Tuesday the 1st of September morning is glassy with a 4ft, 16-second SW groundswell and 813 energy. That’s clean, lined-up, and fun for everyone from intermediate up.
But the pick of the whole forecast is Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon. We’re looking at a 4ft SW swell, 16-second period, with a light offshore breeze from the WNW. The combined energy is a strong 1478, and the call is for excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. The swell is 4ft, so it’s not too big for a good crew, but it’s got plenty of push. That’s the session to circle.
The following weekend (the 5th and 6th of September) has some solid swell coming through, with 5ft to 6ft waves and moderate offshore winds, but the energy is high and the winds are a bit stronger. It’s still good, but the water temp is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit is the go.
So, the best on offer is hands down the Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon session. The runner-up is the Friday the 28th morning for the long-period groundswell and clean offshore wind. The rest of the time is a mix of fun and forgettable, but there’s no real blank run here – just a few days of average wind in the middle.
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.
