The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s break it down. The first few days are rough—stay out of the water unless you like getting hammered. There’s a good stretch of clean swell coming, just gotta wait it out.
We’re looking at Anzacs the whole way. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th of July, the wind is cross-off or cross, and blowing hard—up to 28 mph Tuesday morning. Swell is there, 3ft to 5ft from the SW, 11 to 15 seconds, but it’s messy. Tuesday afternoon energy jumps (1447) but the cross-shore wind makes it lumpy. Not worth it.
Wednesday the 29th is a write-off. Onshore SW winds at 34 mph, swell cranks to 12ft. Way too big for most, and the energy is insane (6285). That’s experts only, and even then it’ll be brutal. Thursday the 30th drops to around 6ft to 6ft, but wind stays onshore and conditions stay poor. Friday the 31st is small and marginal, light onshore wind, barely 3ft.
Now, Saturday the 1st of August is your first real standout. Morning has 2ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period, clean with a light cross-off breeze. Water temp is 57°, right about average for this time of year. By afternoon it goes glassy—zero wind—and the swell bumps to 3ft from the SW, 16-second period, energy at 588. Conditions are very good. Best bet if you don’t mind small waves.
Sunday the 2nd of August brings more size, 5ft in the morning from the SW, a very long 17-second period, but wind picks up to a moderate cross-off. Still clean, energy at 1252. A solid option if Saturday was too small.
Monday the 3rd of August gets cross-shore and choppy again, swell 5ft to 7ft, but quality drops. Skip it.
Then Thursday the 6th of August morning looks sweet—4ft SW swell with a 16-second period, light cross-off breeze, clean and very good. Solid session.
Saturday the 8th of August morning is another beauty. Offshore wind from the NE, light at 9 mph, 4ft SW swell, 16-second period, gentle offshore and clean. Afternoon goes glassy again, 3ft, 15 seconds. Two good sessions.
Then Sunday the 9th of August afternoon is the absolute standout. Glassy calm, 4ft SW swell with an 18-second period, combined energy of 1282. The guidance says excellent for experienced surfers. That long period will wrap nicely into Anzacs, which is exposed to the SW and loves that direction. It’s a very consistent break, and crowds are sometimes a factor, so pick your time. This is the one.
After that, Monday the 10th is okay but wind picks up, and by Tuesday the 11th it’s back to onshore junk. Your window: Saturday the 1st, Thursday the 6th, Saturday the 8th, and the big one on Sunday the 9th afternoon. Don’t miss it.

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.
