The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what’s coming down the line for the local zone.
Straight up, the first week is a bit of a dud. Wind and slop are the main story. Tuesday the 28th is a total loss with a 45 mph cross-shore ripping apart a small swell. Wednesday the 29th is even worse with gale-force winds on a 12ft swell. Not worth the look. Thursday the 30th is still poor, and it’s not until Friday morning the 31st that we see a clean moment at Anzacs with a light offshore breeze and a small, tidy 4ft swell.
We get a little window on Saturday the 1st of August afternoon with a clean 4ft SW groundswell, but that swell period is a very long 18 seconds. That can make the wave close out at a beach break, so pick your peak carefully.
The big news is Monday the 10th of August. Anzacs is forecast to have a proper 10ft SW swell with a 21-second period and a clean offshore wind. The energy reading is through the roof. This is expert-only territory—10ft is serious size. The shape will be powerful and deep, with long lulls between sets. It’s a long-range call, so it might shift, but if it comes together, that is the session of the month.
The days before and after that are mostly average or messy. So, hold tight through the first week, and keep your fingers crossed for that Monday.
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.
