The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the only spot in the game for the next couple of weeks: Anzacs. We’ve got a long window of powerful but messy south-west swell on the cards, so we’re going to have to be patient and pick our moments. The water’s sitting at a pretty normal 56 °F for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

The first few days are a write-off for decent surfing. Tuesday the 1st has a clean 4 ft SW groundswell (853 combined energy), but it’s pinned with a strong 22 mph cross-offshore wind and it’s only a 0/10. Tuesday arvo’s not much better. Wednesday the 2nd is a washout with cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. Thursday the 3rd is a total mess with 10 ft of swell and strong cross-onshore winds – that’s expert-only territory, and even then it’ll be a battle.

Friday the 4th is our first real chance. A clean 8 ft SW groundswell (3092 combined energy) with a fresh cross-offshore breeze. That’s a size that demands respect but is workable for strong intermediates. Even though the forecast is marginal, the clean surface makes it the best option that day. Saturday the 5th is back to being blown out.

Now, look ahead to Sunday the 6th. Morning brings a lovely 7 ft SW swell with a gentle cross-offshore breeze and clean faces. That’s a standout session for the week – decent power and no wind chop. The afternoon stays clean with lighter cross-shore winds. Monday the 7th sees the swell drop right off to 3 ft but the afternoon is looking glassy with an offshore breeze. That’s a fun little board-changer session.

The real standout of the whole run? Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning session is a beauty. 6 ft of WSW groundswell with a super long 18-second period, light offshore breeze, and the best forecast score for experienced surfers. This is a proper, clean, lined-up groundswell. At 6 ft on that period, it’s got the shape and power to make Anzacs shine – best wave on offer right here. The afternoon goes to hell quick with a 10 ft cross-onshore mess, so be on it early.

After that, things get ugly for a few days. Strong winds and lumpy conditions from the 9th through the 12th. Then, hold out for Sunday the 13th. The morning is looking glassy, with a light S wind and a clean 4 ft SW swell (676 combined energy). It’s smaller, but when it’s like a lake, you take it – a really enjoyable, uncrowded-feeling session.

A couple more clean-ish mornings on the 14th with solid 5 ft SW swells before things turn onshore again for the final few days. The window at Anzacs is tight: if you’re not on it Friday the 4th, Sunday the 6th, or the absolutely choice Tuesday the 8th morning, you’re mostly dealing with close-outs or blown-out slop. Stay sharp.

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.

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.
