The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've got the outlook for Anzacs. It's a bit of a mixed bag with some solid potential, but you've got to pick your moments.
We start off on Thursday the 10th with a big, powerful SW groundswell rolling in – 8ft at 16 seconds, with very strong wave energy (2612). The water temp is 57°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is onshore from the SW though, so Thursday afternoon is a write-off. It's a bit of a tease.
The real standout is going to be Friday morning, the 11th. That's the one to circle. The swell drops a touch to a still-juicy 6ft from the SW, but the period is a long 15 seconds, so it's a proper groundswell. The magic is the wind. It's glassy, absolute perfection. A light WSW breeze of 3 mph. Clean, lined-up waves. This is for experienced surfers though, as the size and power will be too much for beginners. Get out there.
Saturday the 12th morning is also a good call. The swell holds at 6ft from the SW, with a 16-second period, and the wind is a cross-off from the NNE at 6 mph, keeping things clean. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Things get messy from Sunday the 13th. The wind picks up strong, and the swell starts to drop. Sunday afternoon it's 4ft, but the wind is howling from the N at 19 mph. The combined energy is weak (525). For the next week, it's a whole lot of nothing. The wind is all over the place, and the swell is either too small or blown out. There's a stretch from Sunday the 13th through to Friday the 18th where the conditions are poor, marginal, or just plain ugly.
We get a bit of hope on the 21st of September. Monday morning it's dead flat with 3ft, but it's glassy. The combined energy is low (575), but the potential for a clean, tiny wave is there. Not a standout, but a quiet possibility.
The best long-range promise is Wednesday the 23rd. The swell is 4ft from the SW at 16 seconds, but the wind is a strong 25 mph from the N. That's not going to be clean. The following days are all blown out with onshore winds.
So, to wrap it up: if you're surfing Anzacs, your window is Friday morning and Saturday morning. That's the clean, solid groundswell. After that, it's a waiting game until the very end of the forecast, and even then, it's a gamble.
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.
