Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anzacs over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s put this in feet and the old system for those who don’t think in meters.
First up, we’ve got a solid run of clean, groomed conditions on the horizon for Anzacs. The water temp is sittin' around 57°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, so nothing weird about that. The opening days are gonna be a real treat for the intermediate surfer – Thursday morning is already shaping up with a nice 4ft SW groundswell (combined energy 683), and the wind is light and cross-off from the NNE. The surface is gonna be clean, the waves will have that long-period push (16 seconds), and the sets will roll in with good gaps. That’s a proper morning session. Friday follows suit, with a touch more size at 4ft SW (combined energy 724) and glassy mornin’ wind. Real nice.
Now, the weekend takes a turn. Saturday mornin’ still has a clean 3ft SW swell, but that wind is pumpin’ hard from the N at 22 mph. It’s cross-off, but that’s a fresh breeze – not the kind of chop you want for a clean wave. By Sunday, the wind is howlin’ from the NW near gale force, kickin’ up a messy 8ft swell that’s cross-shore and cross-chop. That’s not for the paddle crowd; that’s kite-surf territory. The swell energy is massive (combined energy 2359), but the quality is gone. That energy sticks around through Monday and Tuesday, but the wind stays strong and cross-shore, making it a rough, choppy mess. The 8ft to 12ft waves are too big for beginners anyway, and even for the experienced crew, the onshore and cross-shore wind will ruin the face.
Wednesday next week is a bit of a gamble. The swell drops to a more manageable 6ft to 8ft SW, but the wind is still cross-shore, leading to a cross-chop. It’s marginal, but if you’re desperate, you might find a clean one. The real standout moment comes back on Thursday, July 16th, and into Friday, July 17th. Thursday morning serves up a sweet 4ft SW groundswell (combined energy 595) with a light, cross-off breeze from the ESE. That’s clean, glassy potential. The bigger highlight is Saturday, July 18th morning: 5ft SW swell (combined energy 1138) with a gentle cross-off breeze from the N. That’s a clean, solid wave with good period – perfect for the intermediate to advanced surfer. The following Tuesday morning, July 21st, also offers a clean 5ft SW swell (combined energy 1051) with gentle cross-off wind, but it’s a bit far out to get too excited.
After that, the end of the window fades. The wind gets strong again from the SSW, the swell drops to under 3ft, and the conditions get lumpy and onshore. Not much to chase in the last few days.
The best two windows are clear: Thursday July 9th morning through Friday July 10th, and then Saturday July 18th morning. If I had to pick just one, that Saturday, July 18th morning at Anzacs is the one to circle. Decent size, clean face, and a good long period that’ll wrap in nicely. Stick to the morning sessions for the cleanest lines.

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.
