Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a yarn about what’s coming down the pipe at Anzacs.

We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag ahead. The first few days are a write-off, but once we get past the weekend, there are some clean windows that’ll have you frothing. The water temp is sitting at 58°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, but enough to notice.

Alright, let’s break it down. Saturday the 4th is a no-go. Strong onshore wind and messy 8ft swell – just forget it. Sunday the 5th is still average, with a big 17-second period groundswell pushing 7ft, but the cross-off wind keeps things a bit too raw for a solid session, with moderate energy (4540). Not the one.

Now, Monday the 6th is where it starts to get interesting. Swell eases right back to 4ft from the SW, with a 15-second period – classic groundswell. The morning is clean with a light cross-off breeze, and the afternoon turns glassy (5 km/h from the SSW). The energy is low (547), but for a quiet paddle on a point or reef, this is a sneaky good session. The break is very consistent, so you’ll get waves.

Tuesday the 7th keeps that clean vibe in the morning – 4ft SW swell, 17-second period, light NNE cross-off. Nice and lined up (702 energy). The afternoon gets a bit cross-on, but still surfable.

Wednesday the 8th is a standout for the more experienced crowd. Swell bumps up to 5ft by afternoon from the SW, with an 18-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy (1831). Morning is 4ft with a 19-second period (1473). What makes it special? Glassy offshore wind (5 km/h from the NE) in the afternoon. This is clean, powerful, and has plenty of push. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so get on it early.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th keep the good run going with clean conditions and 4–4ft SW swell. Nothing huge, but glassy to light offshore winds will have the waves looking like a postcard. Energy stays moderate (472–783). Perfect for getting some turns in without battling a crowd.

The second week starts to get iffy. Saturday the 11th drops to 3ft – small but still clean. Then from Sunday the 12th through Wednesday the 16th, it’s pretty grim: strong onshore winds, rain, and messy cross-onshore conditions. Not worth the drive.

Then, a big one. Friday the 17th – this is for experts only. The afternoon sees a massive 12ft SW swell with a 15-second period (5138 energy). The wind is cross-off, so it will be clean, but the size is burly. Only go if you know what you’re doing. The morning is still 8ft, but the wind is moderate. This is a heavy session.

Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th fade out with strong cross-shore winds and dropping swell – lumpy, messy, and not worth your time.

So, the pick of the fortnight: Wednesday the 8th for experienced surfers – that glassy afternoon offshore wind with a long-period SW swell is the one to circle. For the everyday surfer, Monday the 6th gives you clean, manageable waves and no wind hassle.

Stay safe, and I’ll see you out there.

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.
