The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the Anzacs stretch for the next couple of weeks. Don’t rush it – the good stuff takes a while to show up.
Water temp’s about 57°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.
Sunday the 30th is a total washout. 5ft SW swell, cross-on wind, and the combined energy is weak-to-moderate at 736. Monday the 31st afternoon is a bit better with 5ft SW swell and a 15-second period, energy up to 1261, but still marginal with questionable tides.
Tuesday the 1st of September – strong breeze from the NNW, forget it. Wednesday’s similar – cross-shore wind messing up the 6ft swell.
Thursday the 3rd has the swell hitting 8ft from the SW, but it’s onshore and lumpy. 2233 energy – moderate, but the wind is too strong. That’s kite territory, not paddle.
Friday the 4th morning is the first real chance. 8ft SW swell, 16-second period – that’s a groundswell. Cross-off wind from the NNW keeps it clean, and the energy is a strong 2723. Afternoon stays clean with 7ft and 2012 energy. This is the first decent window for experienced surfers.
Saturday the 5th is a mess again – strong onshore winds, 8ft swell, blown out.
Now, the real standout: Sunday afternoon the 6th of September at Anzacs. Clean 6ft SW swell, 14-second period, light cross-off from the NNW, and 1342 energy. Conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to mark on your calendar.
Monday the 7th drops to 3ft – weak. Tuesday the 8th jumps back to 10ft from the SW, but it’s a near-gale from the SSW, completely ruined. Wednesday the 9th has 12ft, but again, wind kills it.
Next good window: Friday the 11th of September afternoon. 6ft from the WSW, 16-second period, light cross-off from the SE, and a strong 2490 energy. Excellent conditions.
Saturday the 12th morning is another gem – 6ft SW swell, 15-second period, light breeze from the north, energy at 1602. Clean and solid.
Sunday the 13th morning has a big one: 7ft SW swell with a 17-second period – very long period groundswell. Cross-off wind from the NNW, and the energy is a massive 4362. That’s for experts only, and it’s powerful at the points and reefs. It’s also over a week away, so less certain.
After that, Monday the 14th is small and clean but weak.
So, the best bets are Sunday afternoon the 6th and Friday afternoon the 11th. Saturday the 12th morning is also a cracker. The rest is mostly blown out or flat. Catch the clean ones while they’re here.
Rusty, out.

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.
