The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Anzacs over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we're looking at a bit of a flat patch. Wednesday the 26th has poor surf conditions, so we're not getting in the water there. The first real chance of a wave comes in on Thursday morning the 27th. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the SW with a period of 12 seconds, which is a good solid groundswell. The morning is a bit cross-off with a NNW breeze, but the afternoon is the real gem – glassy conditions with a 3 ft SW swell. The combined energy is moderate at 314. It's a great little window for a session.

Friday the 28th gets a bit messy. The swell jumps up to 4 ft in the morning and 6 ft in the afternoon, both from the SW, but the wind is onshore or cross-shore, and the period is a very long 18 seconds. That long period groundswell can make beach breaks close out, so it's marginal. The energy is strong (1363 in the morning, 1795 in the afternoon), but the wind is going to chop it up.

Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are both poor to marginal. The swell hangs around 4 ft to 5 ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. Not worth the paddle out.

Now, here's the standout. Monday the 31st of August. Monday morning is looking good with a 5 ft SW swell (14 seconds) and a light cross-off N breeze. The energy is strong at 978. But Monday afternoon is the real magic moment. The wind goes glassy, the swell drops to 5 ft from the SW, and the period stretches to 15 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 1113, and the forecast is for excellent surf conditions. This is your best bet of the whole outlook. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 57°, so a bit of a treat.

Tuesday the 1st of September gets blown out by strong 25 mph NNW winds in the morning, so that's a write-off. The rest of that week and into the next is a mix of marginal conditions with onshore or cross-shore winds. The swell is there, often over 5 ft and even up to 8 ft, but the wind is the enemy.

There is a promise for Thursday the 10th of September. The morning looks clean with a 7 ft SW swell (16 seconds, very long period) and a light cross-off NNW breeze. The combined energy is very strong at 2147. This is for experienced surfers only, as 7 ft is a solid size for a beach break, and the long period might make it a bit tricky. The afternoon goes onshore, so the morning is the window.

Overall, the clear winner is Monday afternoon the 31st of August. If you can get out, that's the one. Thursday the 10th of September is a promising but less certain option for experienced surfers looking for a bigger wave. The rest of the time is a bit of a fight with the wind.

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.
