Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anzacs over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it. This is the outlook for Anzacs.
We’ve got a real mixed bag coming up, but there are some clear windows to keep an eye on. The first few days look promising, then things get a bit messy mid-period before a solid finish.
Starting off on Wednesday morning, July 8th, we’ve got a clean 4ft SW swell with a long period of 19 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the NE, so the surface will be glassy. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, with a deep, powerful groundswell pushing in. The combined energy is strong at 1534. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The long period means longer waits between sets, but the waves will be well-shaped and have plenty of punch. This is a standout session for the early part of the outlook.
Wednesday afternoon sees the swell bump up to 6ft with a cross-shore wind, making conditions a bit more marginal. By Thursday morning, July 9th, it’s back to a clean 4ft with offshore NNE wind and a 16-second period, giving very good surf. Thursday afternoon is a real treat – glassy conditions with a light SE breeze and a 4ft SW swell, period at 15 seconds. The surface will be like a mirror for a nice, clean throaty wave.
Friday, July 10th stays clean with a 4ft swell in the morning and a 4ft in the afternoon, both with cross-offshore winds. Solid, fun, manageable waves.
Now, we hit a rough patch. From Saturday, July 11th through to Monday, July 20th, the wind turns onshore or cross-shore, often strong, and the quality drops. Saturday sees the swell drop to 3ft but with a strong breeze making it choppy. Sunday, July 12th and Monday, July 13th see the swell jump up to 8ft with strong, messy cross-shore winds and poor conditions. This is big, unruly, and not worth paddling out for. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during this period. The wind stays strong and cross-shore through Tuesday, July 14th and Wednesday, July 15th, with the swell hitting 10ft on Wednesday afternoon – big, onshore, and ugly. That’s expert-only territory at best, and even then, it’s a mess.
Things start to turn around on Thursday morning, July 16th. A clean 5ft SW swell with a 14-second period and light offshore NNE wind. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers again. The combined energy is moderate at 1063. This is the second real standout.
Friday, July 17th is a beauty. The morning offers a 7ft SW swell at 17 seconds with light cross-offshore NNE wind – excellent surf. The afternoon holds a 6ft swell with the same favorable wind. This is a full day of great, powerful waves.
Saturday, July 18th stays clean with a 5ft swell and moderate cross-offshore wind, very good conditions. From Sunday, July 19th onwards, the swell drops and the winds freshen, with the last few days of the outlook showing small, poor surf.
So, the standout sessions are Wednesday morning, July 8th, and Thursday morning, July 16th, with Friday, July 17th being a solid full-day option. There’s a big gap of poor conditions from the 11th to the 15th, so plan around that. The long period swells here at Anzacs are best when the wind is clean, and during those windows, it’ll be worth the wait.

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.
