The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's break down the surf at Anglesea.
We're looking at a slow start to the week. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th have some small, clean waves, but the energy is weak. Thursday's swell is tiny, and while Friday morning has a nice 4ft swell from the SW with a 16-second period, the wind is light offshore and glassy, keeping it clean. A good warm-up, but not the day.
The first real standout is Monday the 10th, but you have to pick your window. The morning is a beast – 10ft from the SW with a very long 19-second period and massive energy. That's too big for this spot. The afternoon, though, drops to a much more manageable 4ft from the SW with a 17-second period, solid energy, and a clean offshore wind from the WNW. That's excellent for experienced surfers.
The best of the whole forecast is Friday the 14th. The afternoon delivers a solid 8ft swell from the SSW with a very long 18-second period. The energy is pumping, and you've got a clean cross-off wind from the W. For a point break, that long period is a dream – better shape and more push. That's top-tier, expert-level surf.
The days around it – Thursday the 13th morning and Saturday the 15th morning – are also very good with 7ft and 6ft swells and clean winds, but Friday afternoon is the one to chase.
The forecast goes quiet after that. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th are marginal with onshore winds. We get a small recovery on Tuesday the 18th morning with a 3ft swell and a clean cross-off breeze, but it's not much. The last glimmer is Friday the 21st, with a 6ft SW swell, 12-second period, and a solid offshore wind from the NW. That's a promising, but less certain, long-range nod.
Water temp is about average for the time of year.
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.
