Anzacs Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's see what we've got cookin' for the local stretch. We're looking at a solid run of surf ahead, starting Monday the 6th. The water's sitting at 58°, which is a touch above the norm for this time of year, nothing wild though.

We kick off Monday morning with a clean, chest-high groundswell from the southwest. The wind's a soft offshore from the northeast, and with a very long period of 15 seconds, you're looking at real lines. The energy's moderate (547), so there's push but not a crazy amount of juice. It's about as good as it gets for a Monday session.

Tuesday morning is more of the same, maybe even a touch better with that swell period hitting 17 seconds and the energy climbing (694). Offshore breeze from the north-northeast keeps it clean. Tuesday arvo gets a bit tricky with a light cross-shore, so morning sessions are the call.

Now, Wednesday the 8th is where things get interesting. The swell bumps up a notch, shoulder-to-head high, still a long period (19 seconds), and the energy jumps to a strong 1534. The wind is a light cross-offshore. This is the standout window for the week. The conditions are set up for some proper rides, especially for those with a bit of skill.

We've got clean surf through to Friday the 10th, with consistent 4 to 4ft SW swell and favorable winds. It's a good stretch of fun, user-friendly waves.

Things go a bit pear-shaped from Saturday the 11th through Monday the 13th. The wind howls, the swell gets small and messy, and by Monday the 13th, that wind is cranking and the swell jumps to a messy 12ft. That's a no-go for a paddle board and honestly looks like a kiter's playground—heavy, blown-out, and ugly.

After that mess, conditions take a while to settle. The swell tries to rebuild mid-week, but the wind just won't cooperate. We finally get another clear shot on Thursday morning, July 16th. We've got a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a clean 15-second period and only a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is massive (3967). This is big, powerful stuff, only for the experienced crew. The arvo is even bigger, with energy hitting 7590—that's a serious chunk of ocean moving around, but with an onshore wind, it'll be a battle.

Friday the 17th morning looks a bit more manageable, with the swell dropping to 6ft and a cross-offshore wind, making for a clean, punchy session for those who survived the big one.

After that, the last few days in the second week are a bit of a gamble. The swell sticks around but the wind gets strong again, making things messy by Sunday. There's a window on Tuesday the 21st with a big 17-second period swell, but the wind is cranking. It'll be clean, but it's a full-on power session, not for the faint-hearted.

So, for the pick of the bunch, my money's on Wednesday morning, July 8th. That's your classic, clean, shoulder-to-head high groundswell with perfect wind. For the big dog, it's Thursday the 16th morning, but only if you've got the stones for a 10-foot beast.

Rusty.
