Anglesea Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Anglesea all morning. The next 16 days have a bit of everything—some real clean gems, a couple of big, gnarly days, and a few flat spells to dodge.

We kick off straight away. Tuesday the 8th is a beauty to start. Anglesea is a very consistent, fairly exposed swell magnet, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot, but the morning is glassy with a 3 ft SW swell riding a long 18-second period. The water’s sitting at 14°, which is about normal for this time of year. The combined energy is a solid 1070 (moderate), and with that glassy wind, it’s the pick of the early window. Clean, lined-up waves for a relaxed session.

Tuesday afternoon sees the swell bump to 5 ft, but the wind swings cross-shore, making it a bit lumpy. Worth a look if you’re keen, but the morning is the real standout.

Wednesday the 9th gets a bit rowdy. The swell jumps to 8 ft in the morning and then 12 ft in the afternoon, with a short 8-second period and a heavy cross-shore wind. This is expert territory—12 ft is too big for most, and the combined energy hits 14475 (very strong). It’s more of a spectacle than a paddle.

Thursday the 10th stays big, around 8 ft, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. Not a recommended session.

Friday the 11th morning is a hidden gem. Glassy again, with a clean 5 ft SSW swell at 14 seconds. The combined energy sits at 947 (moderate). It’s a solid, fun wave, and the offshore wind is worth the early alarm.

Saturday the 12th morning is another cracker. Offshore NNW wind at just 3 mph, with a 5 ft SW swell at 15 seconds. The energy is 1198 (moderate), and it’s clean as a whistle. This is one of the best on offer—a true standout for the week.

Sunday the 13th drops off a bit. The swell fades to 4 ft, and while the wind is clean, it’s undersized. The energy is 633 (moderate), but it’s not lighting up the bay.

Monday the 14th is a flat day. Swell down to 2 ft, combined energy just 153 (weak). This is a gap to skip—no surf worth chasing.

Tuesday the 15th through Wednesday the 16th sees a bump back to 6 ft, but the wind is consistently cross-onshore, producing choppy, poor quality waves. The energy stays moderate, but it’s a frustrating period.

Now, here’s the long-range promise. Thursday the 17th morning is another standout. NNE wind at 6 mph, clean, with a 5 ft SW swell at 16 seconds. Energy is 1048 (moderate). It’s a lovely, glassy session.

Saturday the 19th morning is for the experienced crew. The swell hits 8 ft, but with a gentle offshore WNW wind, it’s clean and powerful. The combined energy is 3472 (strong). This is a big, meaty wave—only for those who know what they’re doing.

Monday the 21st morning is the best of the long-range. A 8 ft SW swell at 17 seconds, with a light offshore wind. The energy is 4161 (strong), and it’s clean. This is a proper groundswell, with long, powerful lines. It’s a promising one, but the long period means it might break a bit straight at the beach—best for the reefs and points around. By now, it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on the updates.

Overall, the standout windows are the mornings of Tuesday the 8th, Saturday the 12th, Thursday the 17th, and Monday the 21st. The rest is a mix of big, messy, or flat. Stay sharp, and don’t sleep on those glassy dawn sessions.

Rusty.
