Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Anzacs. It's a bit of a mixed bag to kick things off, but there are some shining windows coming up if you're patient.
Right now, we're looking at a pretty grim start. The water’s sitting at 57.9°, which is about normal for this time of year. But the surf? Forget it. We’ve got a solid 11.5ft SW groundswell hitting the beach, but it's polluted by strong cross-onshore winds. That setup is just ugly – big, bumpy, and blown out. The wave energy is massive (6158), but with those conditions, it's a write-off for paddle surfing; honestly, that looks more like a kiteboarding day if anything.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are still messy, with onshore winds and poor conditions. We’re not really getting a clean look until Sunday morning, July 5th. That’s where things start to turn. We get a 7.2ft SW swell with a very long period of 17 seconds and clean cross-offshore winds. The wave energy is still strong (4287). This is a proper groundswell, so at a beach break like Anzacs it might be a bit straight and walled-up, but for the experienced surfer, it's the first real chance to get some waves. The morning is the window here; the afternoon drops off a bit.
Now, Monday, July 6th, is where I’d be circling a date. The swell drops to a more manageable 3.6ft from the SW, but the period is still a solid 15 seconds, and the wind goes light. Absolute glass in the afternoon at 3.3ft, with the wind going completely still. This is where the quality really shines. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and workable for most intermediates.
The standout session of the whole forecast, no question, is Wednesday, July 8th. We’ve got a 4.3ft SW groundswell in the morning, but the period jumps to 18 seconds – that's very long period energy from a long ways out. The wind is a light offshore from the ENE, and the water will be glassy. The wave energy is strong (1727), and the report is calling it excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The afternoon bumps up to 5.9ft with the same 18-second period and clean cross-offshore winds. This is a day for the crew who know what they’re doing. The longer period means longer lulls, so paddling out is a breeze, but the sets will be proper. Get on it.
The rest of the first week stays clean but smaller, with 3.3-3.9ft swells and light winds. Good for a daily paddle, but not blowing the doors off.
Come the second week, it gets mixed up again. A big pulse hits around Sunday, July 12th, with a 6.9ft SW swell and a period of 18 seconds (energy of 4550), but the wind is onshore and strong. That window is blown. Then we get a solid stretch of onshore wind and messy, big swell in the middle of the week that kills it.
The last real hope is Friday, July 17th. A 4.3ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a glassy calm morning. The water will be clean, and the energy is moderate (777). It won't be a classic, but after that run of onshore junk, it’ll feel like a treat. Then Saturday, July 18th morning offers a similar setup with light offshore winds. Good for a weekend surf, but not quite the epic of July 8th.
So, the bottom line: it starts ugly, cleans up nicely. Don't bother until Sunday the 5th at the earliest. The crown jewel of this entire outlook is Wednesday the 8th – get out there if you can. The second week has moments, but it’s less certain.
Stay stoked.

Information about the Anzacs Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Anzacs provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anzacs can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Anzacs 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 (Anzacs) 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 Anzacs 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.
Anzacs is 44 km (27 miles) from Mornington. If you plan a holiday in Phillip Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mornington. Mornington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
