The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and let's have a look at what Anzacs has in store. This is a spot that's exposed to the SW and picks up some solid groundswell, but the wind is going to be a real mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. We've got a decent run of surf coming through, but the quality is going to be all over the place—some clean windows, plenty of blown-out days, and one real gem right at the end.
We kick off Sunday July 19 with a nice little pulse. Morning sees 3ft of SW swell with a 13-second period, cross-off wind from the north, and the water is glassy clean. The combined energy is moderate (326), and it's a solid choice for intermediate surfers. The afternoon holds similar conditions with 2.6ft and 12-second period, still clean. Monday July 20 starts off with a bit more wind—15 mph from the NNW—but the swell is still 2.6ft at 16 seconds, giving the waves some extra push. The energy picks up to 363, but those cross-off winds are getting a bit strong, so it's still rideable but not as good. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy with 3ft and 15-second swell, but the wind eases slightly.
Tuesday July 21 is marginal—bigger swell at 3.6ft but the wind is still cross-off and moderate, so the waves are a little messy. Wednesday July 22 turns ugly: strong NW wind at 22 mph in the morning, swell drops to 2.3ft and the energy is weak (199). By afternoon the wind swings onshore and the swell jumps to 5.6ft, but it's a lumpy mess. Thursday July 23 sees a big pulse of 8.2ft SW swell with onshore winds—this is expert territory and not clean at all. Combined energy is over 2000 (2214), but the wind is fresh and onshore, so it's a no-go for paddling. Friday July 24 is even bigger: 13ft SW swell in the afternoon with cross-onshore wind, energy over 8000 (8661)—that's a kite surfer's dream, not a surfer's. The whole midweek period from Wednesday to Friday is essentially blown out.
Saturday July 25 brings some relief: swell drops to 5.9ft, wind is cross-onshore

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.
