The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
The first few days are a bit of a washout with messy onshore winds. The good stuff starts showing up on Thursday the 17th.
The real standout is Friday the 17th. We’re looking at a solid 5ft swell from the SW, with a long 16-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is light and cross-offshore in the morning, so the waves will be clean and lined up. The combined energy is strong (1281), so it’s got some push, but it’s not too big for a good intermediate. The water temp is about normal for the time of year.
Saturday the 18th is another cracker, especially the afternoon. The swell drops to 4ft but the wind goes totally glassy, dead calm. The combined energy is moderate (586), but the conditions will be perfect. Smooth, clean, and if you’re lucky, not too crowded (crowds are possible here sometimes). The early morning on Saturday is also good with a cross-offshore breeze and 5ft swell.
Sunday the 19th stays clean but the swell drops to around 3ft, still fun on a bigger board.
There’s a quiet spell from Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd, with messy, wind-blown conditions. Not worth it.
Things pick up again late on Thursday the 23rd, with a 5ft swell and a very long 16-second period. Combined energy is strong (1038). The wind is cross, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but that long period means power and steep faces.
The final week is for the brave. Friday the 24th is a total loss with strong onshore winds. But Saturday the 25th and Monday the 27th see proper swell, with waves over 7ft and even 8ft. The combined energy is very strong (2445 and 3147). These are expert waves, big and powerful, but the wind is mostly onshore, so it’s not going to be clean. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than regular paddle surfing on those days.
The best of the best is the Friday morning (17th) and the Saturday afternoon (18th). Get out there.
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.
