Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast. We’ve got one main spot in the mix, Anzacs, and I’ll be honest with you, it’s a tale of patience. For the first week and a bit, the ocean is just not playing ball. We’re looking at a long dry spell from the start of the forecast period until mid-week on the 15th of July. The wind and swell are just too ugly to even bother with, so save your energy.

Thursday 16th July morning is when it starts to get interesting. We’ve got some 5ft swell rolling in from the SW, period around 14 seconds – that’s a solid groundswell, plenty of energy in the water (combined wave energy of 802). The wind’s a light cross-offshore from the NNW, so conditions will be clean. It’s not huge, but it’s surfable and clean.

The real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Friday 17th July. The morning shows 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period and clean cross-off winds. That’s a long-period groundswell that’ll wrap in nicely, and with the wind cooperating, it’s going to be proper. Then Friday afternoon? That’s the cream of the crop. Swell pushes to 6ft, still from the SW, with that very long 16-second period, and the wind drops to a whisper – NNW at just 3 mph, cross-off. That’s glassy, clean, and the combined energy is a solid 1513. For an intermediate spot like Anzacs, this is your session. The long period means you’ll see some lovely shaped waves, with nice gaps between sets making the paddle out easier. Just a heads up, this break is very consistent and exposed to that SW swell, and it can get *sometimes* crowded, so don’t be late.

After that, we roll into the 22nd of July for a minor window. Wednesday morning (22nd) shows 7ft SW swell at a 12-second period, with a moderate cross-off wind. It’s clean, but 7ft is starting to push it for beginners and it’s a bit shorter period, so the quality won’t match that Friday session. The crowd profile is still *sometimes*, so it’s worth a look if you missed the earlier standouts, but it’s not a classic.

The rest of the second week into late July keeps the swell going, but the wind turns nasty again – onshore and messy, or the winds are just not favourable. There’s not much to get excited about after that 22nd. So, to sum it up: the first half of the month is a write-off, but Friday the 17th of July is your golden ticket. Be there or be square.

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.
