The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cooking for the Anzacs stretch.

The good news is there's plenty of swell on the menu, but the wind is going to be the main character for a lot of this forecast. We're in for a bit of a rough patch to start, but things clean up nicely into the second half of the week, and there's a couple of rippers to look out for.

Right now, the water temp is sitting at about 56°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

For the first few days, we're looking at a lot of cross-shore and onshore wind, with fresh breezes and even some rain. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are pretty much write-offs – lumpy, chopped-out conditions with poor surf. The swell is there, but it's not worth paddling out for with that wind.

We see a bit of a lull on Thursday the 6th with small, weak energy and only about 2 feet of swell, so not much to get excited about.

Friday the 7th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning is a bit cross-shore, but by the afternoon, we get a glassy window with the wind swinging NNE at just 3 mph. The swell is a solid 4 feet from the SW, and with a very long period of 16 seconds, this is proper groundswell. The combined energy is strong. This is going to be clean, well-shaped, and the long period will mean nice, long lines. This is a standout for the experienced crew – the sets will be a bit longer between them, making the paddle out easier, but it might be a little too lined up for the beach breaks. For the point at Anzacs, this will be magic.

Saturday the 8th holds onto some decent 4-foot SW swell, but the wind picks up again, so it's a bit more of a gamble. Sunday the 9th is more of the same – a bit of a messy outlook.

Now, into the second week, things get a bit bigger. On the 10th and 11th, we're looking at 10-foot-plus SW swell, but the wind is howling from the NW, making it a lumpy, cross-shore mess. This is big, powerful stuff, but it's only for the experts if they're keen, and the quality is poor.

Friday the 14th afternoon is a huge one to note. The wind goes light and onshore from the SSW, but the swell is predicted to be a massive 13 feet from the SW. That's a lot of water moving around. The energy is very strong. This is a big, powerful swell, and it's likely too big for this break. If you're a very experienced charger and the tides line up, it could be a spectacle, but for most of us, it's a day to watch from the cliff.

Saturday the 15th morning has a similar story – 12 feet, very long period (17s), and offshore wind from the north. That's a clean, terrifying amount of energy. This is strictly for the experts on the biggest boards. The swell is just too big for a comfortable session.

The last few days of the forecast see the swell drop back to a more manageable 5 to 7 feet, with light winds, but it's nothing that will blow you away compared to the earlier windows.

So, if you're looking for the best time to paddle out, lock in Friday afternoon, the 7th of August. That glassy window with a solid, long-period SW groundswell is the pick of the bunch. The other standouts on the 14th and 15th are too big for most, so that Friday session is your golden ticket.

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.
