Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards for us over the next couple of weeks. We've got a slow start, but there's some real magic brewing if you're patient.

Right now, things are looking pretty rough. We're getting battered by a strong onshore wind today, whipping up a sloppy 7 ft SW swell, and the combined wave energy is a hefty (1452). It's a messy start, but don't let that fool you. The water's sitting at about 58°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

The first real chance to get a wave comes on Sunday morning, July 5th. Anzacs will see a solid 7 ft SSW groundswell, with a very long 17-second period between sets. The energy is strong (4540), and the wind is cross-offshore, making it cleaner. This is a big, powerful swell, so it's one for the experienced crew only—the 7 ft is thick and heavy. Afternoon sees it drop a little but still big.

Monday the 6th is where the magic starts. We get a beautiful morning with a light NE offshore wind and a clean 4 ft SW swell. The period is still a nice 15 seconds, so the waves will have plenty of shape. It's small but perfect, with a gentle energy (547). Afternoon turns glassy with the wind dropping to nothing. This is the kind of day to get the log out and just enjoy it.

Tuesday the 7th is an absolute stunner. Glassy conditions in the morning, a clean 4 ft SW swell, and a long 17-second period. The wave energy is moderate (702), but the quality will be top-notch. It's a classic, all-day cruiser session.

If you want the best of the entire window, circle Wednesday the 8th. The morning brings a clean 4 ft SW groundswell with a very long 19-second period and light offshore NE winds. The water's glassy and the energy is strong (1678). By the afternoon it gets even better: the wind goes dead calm, glassy as can be, and the swell bumps up to a clean 5 ft SW with an 18-second period and even more energy (1828). The report says it's excellent for experienced surfers, and I don't doubt it. This is the standout—a proper, world-class day at Anzacs if the tides line up. The crowd factor is 'sometimes', so you might have a few mates out, but it's worth it.

The rest of the week remains promising, with clean 4 ft to 5 ft SW swells through Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th, with light winds and glassy afternoons. It's all good, consistent fun.

Then the wind switches. Saturday the 11th through Sunday the 12th gets blown out by strong northerly winds, tanking the swell back to under 3 ft. The energy drops right off to weak levels (192-256). It's a write-off.

Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th look poor with onshore SW winds, and by Tuesday we're back to a big, messy 7 ft SW swell with a strong energy (1860-3415). This is ugly, onshore slop. That continues through Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, with strong cross-onshore and onshore winds making a mess of the 6 ft to 7 ft swell. This setup would actually look better for kite surfing than trying to paddle out.

But hold on. After that gritty week, Friday the 17th sees the wind turn light and cross-offshore again, with a clean 4 ft SW swell. The energy is low (511), but the quality should be there for a fun morning session. Saturday the 18th is similar, with a light wind and a 4 ft to 4 ft SW swell, though the wind goes a bit cross-shore in the afternoon.

Sunday the 19th is a distant memory of a day, with howling NNW winds and a tiny 3 ft SW swell. That's all she wrote for the 16 days.

So, the absolute best on offer is Wednesday, July 8th, at Anzacs. The glassy conditions and that long-period, clean SW swell are a dream. Tuesday the 7th and Monday the 6th are also top-tier for a smaller, more playful board. It’s a long-range promise for the 8th, but the signs are all there.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
