The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into the outlook for Anzacs. We’ve got a bit of a game of patience ahead, with the first real taste of action coming in the back half of the week.

The longer-range forecast is showing a big pulse of energy from the south-west kicking in around the 24th, but we’ll get to that. The main event will be a long period groundswell with serious grunt. For the first few days, the ocean’s not in a good mood, with lumpy cross-chop and onshore winds making things messy. Wednesday the 15th is a write-off, with a 7ft SW swell getting chopped up by a cross breeze. Water temp is sitting at 57°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit is staying on.

The outlook starts to find its feet on Friday morning the 17th. The swell drops to 5ft from the SW, but the wind goes clean cross-off from the NNW. With a long period of 16 seconds, this is proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate (1281), so there’s some push. The wave comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and that’s the call. Conditions clean up through Saturday the 18th, with the morning offering 5ft SW swell and light cross-off breeze. The real standout is Saturday afternoon: the wind goes glassy, calm, and the swell sits at 4ft. That’s clean, user-friendly, and will be a joy for intermediates. The break is very consistent, so you won’t be waiting around. Crowds are a possibility though, so get out there early for the quiet ones.

We then hit a real lull from Sunday the 19th through to Wednesday the 22nd. The swell drops to under 3ft, and while the wind stays clean, the energy is weak (241 to 181). From Thursday the 23rd, the onshore winds and rain ruin the show. The swell builds rapidly, hitting 8ft from the SW on Friday the 24th, with a massive energy reading of 6542. That’s big, powerful, and with a strong cross-onshore wind, it’s a mess. This is strictly for experts only, and the conditions are poor on the face. The setup is exposed, so expect a lot of white water. This would be a better day for the kite crew than a paddle surfer.

The final week (25th to 30th) is a mixed bag of chop and clean spells. The big swell drops off, but the wind stays fresh and lumpy. The best of the tail end is Thursday morning the 30th. We get a 5ft WSW swell with a clean cross-off breeze from the N. The energy is moderate (586), and the wave comment says expect very good surf conditions. It’s a promising note to end on, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on the charts.

The standout is Saturday afternoon the 18th. Clean, glassy 4ft SW swell, light winds, and the break is very consistent. Perfect for an intermediate session. The second standout for the experienced crew is Friday morning the 17th, with the long period groundswell and clean offshores.

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.
