The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down.
It's a bit of a slow burner, but we've got some proper energy coming through on a long-period SW groundswell. The water temp is about 57°F, which is right on the money for this time of year.
The first chance to get a wave is Saturday morning, the 1st of August. It's small, a clean 2ft SW swell, but the period is a massive 18 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNE, so it's glassy. The energy is moderate at 466. It's a good little starter.
The standout is definitely Saturday afternoon, the 1st of August. The swell picks up to 4ft from the SW, still with that very long 18-second period, and the energy is solid at 1151. The wind goes light NW, making it a bit bumpy. But the absolute best of the best is Friday afternoon, the 7th of August. You've got a clean 4ft SW groundswell, a 15-second period, and the wind goes totally glassy from the SSE. That's 5 mph glass. The energy is pumping at 1321. That's a session you'll be talking about. Anzacs is a very consistent spot, fully exposed to the SW, and it's going to be on fire.
After that, the swell hangs around but the wind gets more tricky. Saturday the 8th is still ok with a clean cross-off, but it's not as good. Then we hit a rough patch from Sunday the 9th through to Tuesday the 11th, with strong onshore winds and a big, blown-out 7ft swell on the 11th. That's a big, ugly beast for experts only.
Looking into the second week, Sunday the 16th of August looks promising. A clean 3ft SW swell, a 16-second period, and a light cross-off breeze from the ESE. The energy is 466. It's a clean, solid way to finish the forecast. The first week is where the quality is, and Friday the 7th is the undeniable winner.
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.
