Anglesea Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Anglesea over the next couple of weeks.

Overall, we start with some nice clean small waves, then a rough patch, then a couple of big days that only the experienced should touch, and finally another clean swell late in the period.

Tuesday morning the 7th of July is a great little session for beginners. Glassy flat calm, 1.1m SW swell with a long 17-second period. Combined swell energy is moderate (677). Water temp is about average. It’s a very consistent break so it’s worth a paddle. That afternoon the wind turns onshore and it goes questionable.

Wednesday the 8th has another good morning: 1.2m SW swell, 18-second period, light cross-offshore wind. Clean. Combined energy strong (1240). Afternoon swell hits 1.5m but cross-on wind messes it up.

Thursday the 9th is glassy again in the morning with 1.0m SW swell, 16-second period. Clean and good for beginners. Afternoon gets cross-shore ripples.

Friday the 10th keeps the run going with a 1.0m SW swell, offshore NW wind in the morning, clean. Afternoon still cross-off and clean.

Saturday the 11th is poor. Strong 30 km/h NW wind and only 0.7m swell. Sunday the 12th bumps up to 1.4m but with 35 km/h offshore wind – clean but too windy for a fun session.

Monday the 13th of July is a beast. Swell hits 5.5m – that’s 18 feet. Way too big for beginners, only for experts, and even then it’s huge. Very strong combined energy (18050). Afternoon still 3.0m.

Tuesday the 14th is the first real standout for experienced surfers. Morning has a 2.2m SW swell, 16-second period, and moderate offshore WNW wind. Clean. Energy very strong (2397). This is top-quality surf for those who can handle it. Afternoon gets a bit windier.

The rest of the week into the 15th and 16th is average with cross-shore and cross-on winds, swell around 1.2m to 1.7m.

Friday the 17th offers a small clean window with 0.8m SW swell and offshore wind. Small but clean. The weekend of the 18th and 19th is poor with strong winds and little swell.

Next big one: Monday the 20th of July has a 2.3m SSW swell building to 2.5m. Cross-shore wind keeps it a bit messy but plenty of energy for experienced surfers.

Then Tuesday the 21st of July is the big highlight of the second week. Morning has a 2.2m SSW swell, 15-second period, and light offshore NW wind. Clean and excellent. Energy very strong (2169). Afternoon also excellent with 1.9m SSW swell and light offshore wind. This is over a week away, so it’s promising but not a sure thing.

Wednesday the 22nd of July drops back to a clean 1.3m with gentle offshore wind. Good for a fun surf but not a standout.

So the two best bets: Tuesday the 14th for experienced surfers on a solid 2.2m SW groundswell, and Tuesday the 21st for another excellent clean 2.2m SSW swell. Beginners should aim for the first week, especially Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
