Anzacs Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

First up, we’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards at Anzacs. The week kicks off with a decent, long-period SW groundswell that’s packing moderate energy (694) on Tuesday the 7th. It’s around 4ft and with a light NNE cross-off breeze, the morning session is looking clean and very good. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Come Tuesday afternoon the wind swings a bit, and the surf gets a little crossed up, so make the most of the morning.

The standout of the whole outlook is hands down Wednesday the 8th. Anzacs is going to fire early. The swell bumps up slightly to 4ft but the period stretches out to a very long 19 seconds from the SW, pumping the combined energy up to 1534. That’s a lot of power. With a light NE offshore breeze, it’ll be clean, lined up, and offering excellent waves for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

Thursday the 9th keeps things rolling with another 4ft SW swell and good energy (603). The morning has a clean cross-off breeze, but the afternoon goes totally glassy with an ESE wind – zero wind. That’s a rare treat and will make for some silky smooth walls. Friday the 10th is similar, with a 4ft SW swell and clean cross-off conditions all day.

Now, the wheels start to come off on Saturday the 11th. The wind gets ugly, with a near gale from the NNW hitting 31 mph. The swell drops a touch to 4ft, but the wind and rain will make a mess of things. Sunday the 12th is even worse – the swell is up to 6ft, but with a strong breeze and rain, forget it. This pattern of poor, blown-out conditions continues right through the middle of the month. By Monday the 13th, the swell jumps to 12ft, but with a fresh onshore breeze, it becomes a big, lumpy, and dangerous mess – strictly for experts if anyone’s mad enough, and honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

We get a bit of a reprieve around Thursday the 17th. The swell eases to 3ft from the SW, and the wind goes cross-off again, but the energy is low (382) and the forecast is only marginal. The wind ramps back up on the weekend after that.

Looking further out, into the last week of the forecast, there’s a possible window on Tuesday the 22nd. A 4ft SW swell with a cross-off breeze offers some clean lines, but the energy (661) is moderate and the forecast is still just marginal. It’s something to watch, but don’t bank on it being a classic.

So, to wrap it up: the first few days are excellent, with Wednesday morning being the absolute standout. Then we go through a long, windy, and poor stretch before maybe seeing some cleaner, smaller surf again towards the end.
