Anzacs Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, but there’s a couple of rough days to sit through first.

Right now there’s no surf worth mentioning for the first few days. The forecast doesn’t get going properly until Sunday 6th July, so you’ve got a gap of no real action all through Saturday the 5th.

The real standout window kicks off Monday morning the 7th of July. Anzacs is your spot. Swell from the SW at 4ft, period a nice long 17 seconds – that’s proper groundswell with plenty of push. Winds are offshore from the NE at only 9 mph, setting up clean, lined-up waves. Combined wave energy is moderate (550). Water temps are sitting at 58°, which is nearly a full degree warmer than normal for this time of year – just a touch above average, nothing wild.

Tuesday the 8th is another cracker morning. Swell holds at 4ft, still coming from the SW, but the period lengthens to 19 seconds – that’s long, powerful and will hold its shape beautifully. Wind is light offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, and the combined energy jumps to strong (1596). This is a day for experienced surfers, but if you’re comfortable on a bigger board for a point break, you’ll be rewarded. Keep in mind that very long period swell like this can run a bit straight at beach breaks, but Anzacs is exposed and handles it well.

Wednesday 9th afternoon sees glassy conditions with the wind swinging to NE at only 3 mph, and the swell around 4ft at 15 seconds. That’s a perfect session for a twilight paddle – clean, no chop, just you and the ocean. Crowds can be a thing here sometimes, but on a weekday afternoon you’ll likely dodge the worst of it.

Thursday 10th and Friday 11th mornings both offer clean 4–4ft SW groundswell with light offshore winds, nothing too remarkable but still very solid for this stretch.

Saturday 12th is a write-off. Wind cranks up to 19–25 mph from the NNW and the swell drops to under 3ft. Not worth a look.

But hold tight – Monday 14th morning brings back the goods. Swell jumps to 6ft from the SW, period a solid 15 seconds, and combined energy hits strong (1410). Light offshore from the N again at 6 mph. That’s my pick for the second week: expert territory, but if you’re skilled, it’ll be firing.

The rest of the second week sees a mix of onshore winds and messy conditions, especially from Tuesday 15th afternoon through Wednesday 16th, with gusty southerly winds making things choppy. Still, the swell sticks around well over waist-to-chest high at times.

All in all, the standout is Monday 8th morning at Anzacs. That long 19-second groundswell with light offshore winds is as good as it gets.

Rusty.
