The Lowdown

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

We’ve got a bit of a tease to start the outlook, but the real juice is a long way off. The first few days offer some small, clean surf, but the size is lacking. The real standout doesn't arrive until the very end of the forecast period, nearly two weeks away.

The first good news comes Sunday morning, July 19th. We’ve got a clean 3ft SW swell rolling in with a nice 13-second period and a gentle cross-off breeze. The water is a touch warmer than average at 57°, so it’s a pretty pleasant start for a winter paddle. The combined energy is a modest 285, so it’s not powerful, but it’s lined up and rideable for intermediates. This is a very consistent break, so you’ll find waves. Crowds are possible sometimes, so keep an eye out.

Monday morning, July 20th, the swell holds similar size at 3ft, but the period jumps to a very long 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the energy reading climbs to 363. The wind is still cross-off, so it’ll be clean. A long period like this on a beach break can make the waves a bit straight and fat, but with the light wind, it’s still worth a look for a log or a fun mid-length.

The middle of the week gets messy. Tuesday, July 21st, sees a bump in size to 4ft, but the wind is howling and the quality drops. Wednesday and Thursday, July 22nd and 23rd, are a write-off for a paddle. We’re looking at 8ft to 10ft of SW swell, but with strong onshore winds, that’s just a washing machine. The combined energy surges to 2671 and then 5780, so there’s a ton of power, but it’s all blown out. This setup is more for the kite surfers than us.

Friday and Saturday, July 24th and 25th, are still big and messy, with strong cross-shore winds and 8ft to 10ft of swell. The energy is still huge (over 2500), but it’s lumpy and rough. For experts only, and even then, it’s not fun.

We get a brief reprieve on Sunday, July 26th, with the swell dropping back to 5ft and a long 12-second period. The wind is light and cross-off again, making it clean. The energy is 712, a nice moderate pulse. This is your best bet for the second week, but it’s still a marginal call.

Then we hit a long, dry spell. From Monday, July 27th, all the way through Saturday, August 1st, the conditions are poor. The wind is either too strong or onshore, and the swell is either small or messy. A lot of days with no real recommendation.

Then, finally, the standout. On Monday, August 3rd, we get a very long period groundswell of 4ft from the WSW with a staggering 18-second period. The wind is a solid cross-off from the East at 19 mph, keeping the surface clean. The combined energy is a massive 2397. This is a powerful, clean, long-period swell at a very consistent break. It’s a bit of a wait, but this one could be the session of the month. The long period means it’ll be best on a point or reef, but at this spot, it’ll still offer some great lines. The crowd situation is "sometimes", so it might be worth a look with a bit of patience.

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.
