The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu.

We’ve got a 16-day window here, and it starts with a bit of a wait. The first few days are a write-off with strong onshore winds and messy, choppy conditions, so you’re better off doing something else until things settle down.

The first real chance for a paddle is Friday, 4th September. We’re looking at a solid 8ft (cross-off) in the morning, dropping to 8ft in the afternoon. This is a big South-West groundswell with a long 16-second period, which packs a punch (combined energy is 3269). The wind is a moderate cross-off, so conditions will be clean. This is proper intermediate-level stuff, and with that much energy, it could be a bit much for beginners. The period is long, so expect well-defined lines, but it might be walling up on the beach. Anzacs is the spot, and it’s very consistent, so you won’t be waiting long.

Saturday the 5th is a total blowout again with strong winds, so skip it. The next real standout is Sunday, 6th September in the afternoon. The wind goes glassy, absolutely dead flat, with a 5ft SW swell (14-second period, moderate energy at 1064). The report says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That glassy wind is a massive positive, making for silky smooth faces. This is your best bet for the first week if you want clean, high-quality waves.

The start of the second week, Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th, drops off in size, with 3ft to 3ft of swell, but Tuesday morning looks glassy again with a very long 18-second period. That’s super clean but small, so it’s a longboard or funboard kind of day.

Now, hold onto your boardies. Wednesday 9th September and Thursday 10th September are insane. We’re talking a massive 12ft SW swell, with the combined energy hitting 15342 on Wednesday afternoon and 6998 on Thursday morning. The notes say it’s predicted to be too big for this break. This is for experts only, and even then, it’s pushing the limits. The wind is cross-off and clean, so the faces will be perfect, but the sheer size and power will make it incredibly heavy. If you’re not an absolute charger, stay on the sand.

Towards the end of the run, Friday 11th September afternoon looks excellent for experienced surfers. A clean 7ft swell with light cross-off winds and a 15-second period. Very consistent. Saturday 12th September morning also has a clean 5ft swell with offshore winds, which is a dreamy combination. The wind is light and offshore, so the waves will be holding up beautifully.

The very last call on the horizon is Wednesday 16th September morning, with a clean 5ft SW swell and a 15-second period. Good, consistent surf for the experienced crew.

The standout of the whole run is that Sunday afternoon glass-off on the 6th, and the Friday 11th afternoon session. If you’re a hard charger, the big stuff on the 9th and 10th is the ultimate test, but it’s a serious mission.

Keep your eyes on the horizon, and the wax on your board.

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.
