The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a rough start, with a solid gap of poor conditions before things start looking up. Hang tight.

First up, the only break on the radar is Anzacs, a very consistent SW-facing spot.

The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 28th sees a 4ft SW swell, but with a strong 28 mph wind, it’s just messy. Wednesday the 29th is even bigger, with a 12ft SW groundswell packing serious energy (6285) – but the 34 mph onshore wind makes it a no-go for paddling; that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session. Thursday and Friday the 30th and 31st stay small and cross-on, barely worth a look.

We’ve got a long gap until things clean up. The first real glimmer comes on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning shows a tiny 2ft SW swell, but the wind is light and cross-off, so the water temperature is running about average for the time of year. The real stand-out of the whole window is Saturday afternoon, the 1st of August. The swell jumps to 5ft from the SW with a long 18-second period, and the wind is clean cross-off. The combined energy is moderate (1482). That’s the best on offer—clean, lined-up waves for intermediate surfers. Just be aware, that long period groundswell can jack up quickly at this beach, so keep your wits about you.

Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd drop back into messy, cross-on wind and poor quality. The next highlight appears on Wednesday the 5th of August. Light winds and a glassy morning with a clean 3ft SW swell (14-second period) and moderate energy (513). That afternoon is the real cherry: glassy conditions with a 3ft SW swell. Super clean, though a bit small. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Thursday the 6th holds clean, cross-off winds with a 3ft SW swell (16-second period), decent for a sneaky session.

The second week gets a bit more uncertain. The 8th and 9th of August show a building swell again, with 4ft to 5ft SW groundswells and cross-off winds, but the combined energy is moderate to strong (1305-1520). Could be fun, but a bit less reliable this far out.

Then on Tuesday the 11th of August, we see a glassy afternoon with a 4ft SW swell. Small but clean.

The 12th of August looks promising but is for the experts. A 8ft to 10ft SW swell with very strong energy (2449-4053) and clean cross-off wind. That’s a big, powerful swell. If you’re not an expert, sit this one out. The long period (13-14 seconds) will make it dumpy and heavy.

Overall, the standout is Saturday afternoon, 1st August, and the glassy Wednesday, 5th August. The rest is a battle against the wind.

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.
