The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the cards for the Anzacs stretch over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a rough start, but the second half is where the real magic is.

The first few days are a write-off. Through Tuesday and Wednesday we’ve got heavy onshore wind and big, raw swell up to 12 ft, but it’s all blown out with rain and nasty cross-chop. Not worth paddling out for. Thursday stays messy with moderate cross-onshore winds and moderate wave energy. It’s a pass.

Friday 31st July morning is where things start to look up. We get a clean-up with cross-offshore winds from the NNW at 28 mph, and the swell drops to a nice 4 ft from the SW, period 12 seconds. The energy is weak (394), but it’s clean. The water temp is 57°F, which is about normal for this time of year.

Saturday 1st August is the standout of the first week. The morning is small at 2 ft with a very long period of 18 seconds from the SW. That’s a proper groundswell, and with light offshore winds from the N at 9 mph, the sets will be glassy. The energy is moderate (508). The afternoon picks up to 4 ft, 19 seconds, with clean cross-offshore winds – that’s the best on offer for the first weekend. The crowd factor is “sometimes” at Anzacs, so expect a few locals out.

Tuesday 4th August morning brings a good window: clean, offshore winds from the ENE at 16 mph, swell at 4 ft from the SW, period 12 seconds. The energy is weak (453), but it’s clean and lined up.

Now, the real standout for the whole forecast. Friday 7th August is the one to circle. Morning: 5 ft of SW swell, 17 seconds, with light offshore winds from the NNE at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (1399). This is a long-period groundswell with clean, glassy conditions. The afternoon is equally good: 5 ft, 16 seconds, light cross-offshore winds. This is for the crew who know what they’re doing – over 5 ft, it’s a bit much for beginners.

The following week, Sunday 9th August afternoon: 6 ft, 16 seconds, but with fresh cross-offshore winds at 19 mph. The energy is moderate (1474). It’s clean, but the wind is picking up.

The final days from Monday 10th onward start to fade, with onshore winds returning. Wednesday 12th August afternoon sees a big 7 ft, 19-second swell, but with moderate cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions – the energy jumps to 3058, but the wind makes it a mess.

Bottom line: If you’re looking for the best sessions, hit Friday 7th August – that’s the gold. The Saturday 1st August afternoon is a close second. The rest of the run has pockets of clean surf, but those two days are the standouts.

Stay salty.
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.
