The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at Anzacs over the next couple weeks. It’s gonna be a proper mixed bag with a real slow start and just one day that's got me properly fired up.

Right now, Anzacs is getting smashed by a big 10ft swell from the WSW, but with a strong 15 mph south wind, it’s onshore, chopped out, and ugly. The water temp here is 57°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a small comfort when the surf is this poor. The combined swell energy is massive at 5831, but without any decent wind, it’s a write-off. Wednesday afternoon and Thursday won’t be much better – still messy, dropping into the 6ft range but with onshore winds making it a tough paddle.

We roll into Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th and the wind swings cross-shore, but the surf is still pretty average – 5ft to 6ft from the SW, periods around 13 to 16 seconds. The combined energy is still moderate to strong (over 1000), but the wind keeps it lumpy and messy. Saturday afternoon shows a brief improvement with the wind turning more onshore but lighter, and the score lifts a hair. Still, not one I’d rush out for.

Sunday the 20th is a write-off again – strong breeze, tiny 4ft swell, and the energy is way down to 374. The Monday and Tuesday that follow stay poor, with onshore winds and a building swell that hits 8ft by Tuesday afternoon. That Tuesday swell has a very long 17-second period and 2966 of energy, which is powerful, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. That setup is going to be more of a kiteboarding session than a surf.

Now, Wednesday the 23rd of September morning – this is the standout. The wind finally swings to a light offshore out of the NNE, just 9 mph. You’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the SW with a very long 15-second period. That’s a groundswell with serious push. The conditions are clean, and the combined energy is a solid 1297. This is a proper window for experienced surfers – the waves will have power and shape, but with that long period, it might stack up and close out a bit at a beach break. Still, it's easily the best on offer for the whole forecast. Get on it.

After that, the swell dips into the 2ft to 5ft range for the rest of the period. Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th mornings are clean with light winds and a bit of energy (277 to 211), but it’s small. Saturday the 26th morning shows some promise with a 3ft, 20-second period groundswell and offshores, but it’s very inconsistent and marginal. That afternoon builds to 5ft with a 19-second period, still clean, but the score is modest at best.

Sunday the 27th is blown out by a near gale (31 mph), useless. Then Monday the 28th morning has a light breeze and 4ft swell with very good conditions noted, but the energy is low at 614. Tuesday the 29th onward trails off into small, choppy junk under 3ft.

Overall, it's a long, slow lead-in and a lot of offshore wind on small swells. The only true standout is Wednesday the 23rd morning. Mark it in the calendar. After that, it’s small and unreliable.

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.
