The Lowdown

Alright, let me have a look at what we've got here. Grab your board, 'cause we're checking out the run at Anzacs over the next couple of weeks.

The forecast is a bit of a mixed bag for this spot. We're looking at a really slow start, with the first few days being a write-off thanks to some messy conditions. The swell shows up, but the wind is all over the place, mostly cross or onshore, keeping things choppy and blown out. You'll want to skip the first week for anything decent.

The real standout, and I mean the one that gets the blood pumping, is Friday, the 11th of September. The afternoon session looks absolute magic. We’ve got 6 ft of solid SW groundswell (17 second period – that’s proper long-period groundswell) rolling in, and the wind is set to go glassy with an ESE breeze. The combined energy is a solid 2075 (moderate), but that smooth surface will make it feel way punchier. This one is pointing to excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. Since the swell is a little over 5 ft, it’s not one for the groms. If you can handle it, the water temp is about average for the time of year, so dive on in.

Another date to keep an eye on is Monday, the 7th of September. The afternoon session sees a big increase in size with 12 ft of SW groundswell (15 second period). The combined energy value of 5995 (strong) is huge, but it's predicted to be too big for the break unless you're a seasoned charger. The cross-shore wind won't help either, so it's a bit raw.

The tail end of the run into the second week settles down, but the quality drops back. We see a few more marginal windows, but nothing that measures up to that one perfect afternoon on the 11th. The swell fades to chest-high with period around 13 to 14 seconds, with moderate cross-shore winds that leave a chop. It’s surfable, but it’s not that standout.

Overall, this is a slow start, but stick with it. That Friday afternoon is the one to be in the water for. For the rest of it, you're mostly waiting or taking what you can get.

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.
