The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Anzacs.

We’ve got a pretty rough start to the outlook, honestly. The first few days are messy with strong winds and lumpy conditions. But don’t write it off yet – there’s a couple of windows that’ll make it worth paddling out.

The water temperature at Anzacs is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 12th. Saturday morning, we’ve got a clean 5 ft swell from the southwest. The period is a solid 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. Winds are light and cross-offshore out of the NNW, and the combined energy is pumping at 1265 (moderate wave energy). Conditions are clean, and this is excellent for experienced surfers. For the afternoon, the wind goes glassy with a 5 ft swell from the same direction. This is a true standout – clean, lined-up waves with hardly a breath of wind. Keep an eye on those sets, because with a long period like that, it’ll be best at the point or reef if you can find a channel.

We then hit a dry spell through Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th – fresh winds blow through and the swell drops right off, so there’s a gap of a few days with nothing really worth chasing.

The next window worth mentioning is Friday the 18th. Friday morning, surf picks back up with a 4 ft southwest groundswell, period 15 seconds, and cross-offshore winds from the NNW. The combined energy is 966 (moderate), and conditions are clean. It won’t be big, but it’ll be clean and fun for a session.

Then, on Sunday the 20th, we get another tidy little opportunity. The afternoon brings 4 ft from the southwest, period 16 seconds, with a cross-offshore NNW breeze. Combined energy is 970 (moderate). Again, clean conditions. This is your second standout if you missed the Saturday session – just a nice, clean, surfable day without any real drama.

Keep in mind, long-period swells like these (15-16 seconds) can sometimes make beach breaks a bit too straight, so if you can, hunt down a point or a reef for the best shape.

Overall, the first week is pretty average, but the second half of the window has a couple of clean days that’ll make you glad you waited.

Stay stoked,
Rusty

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.
