The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into what's cookin' for the next two weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week is a bit of a dud. The swell is pumping, but the wind is a total nightmare. We're looking at a solid, long-period SW groundswell kickin' in from Friday the 24th, but it's gettin' clobbered by strong W/NW winds, turning it into a lumpy, choppy mess. That first morning has 3.0m of swell and a combined energy of 4111, but it's just unsurfable. This crap pattern sticks around through the weekend and into Monday. Monday the 27th offers a little relief with clean 1.1m surf and a light offshore breeze, but it's barely enough for a log.
The tide turns around Thursday the 31st of July. That's when we see a glassy afternoon with light winds and a clean 0.9m of swell. The water temp is 14°, which is about average for the year, nothing weird.
The real highlight, the best stretch on offer, is the first week of August. From Saturday the 1st through Tuesday the 4th, the wind turns clean and cross-offshore from the N/NNW. We get a great run of SW groundswell, with a very long 17-second period on the 2nd, pushin' 1.6m of swell. The combined energy hits 1467, so there's plenty of power. For a point break, this kind of long-period groundswell is a dream, wrapping in with clean, long walls. It's a great run for the intermediate crew, with the swell sitting at 1.6m – 1.8m, well within range. Just remember, those long periods mean longer waits between sets, but it makes the paddle out a lot easier.
There's another big pulse of energy on Thursday the 6th of August, with 2.2m of SW swell and a monster 4445 combined energy, but the wind is cross-shore, so it won't be as clean as the earlier days.
So, the first week is a write-off. The golden window is from Saturday the 1st of August through Tuesday the 4th. That's where you wanna be.
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.
