The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Anzacs over the next couple of weeks.

First up, we're looking at a real mixed bag. The early part of the forecast is a bit of a write-off with messy, onshore winds and big, lumpy swell. The water temp is sitting at 56°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

We kick off with a solid pulse of SW groundswell on Thursday the 13th of August, pushing 8ft with a long 16-second period. The combined energy is massive (3212), so there's plenty of power. But the wind is a strong cross-shore, and the report says marginal. It's not going to be a pretty one. That continues through Friday and Saturday. The swell drops a bit, but the wind stays messy.

The first real chance of something clean comes on Sunday the 16th. The swell settles to a still-juicy 4ft from the SW, with a 14-second period, and we get a beautiful NE offshore wind in the morning. That's a major positive. The energy is still moderate (737), and the conditions are clean. This is your best bet for the first week. It's a consistent spot, so you'll get waves, but you won't be alone – crowds are likely on a Sunday with clean conditions.

Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th continue that trend with clean mornings and offshore winds, though the swell drops a touch to 4ft. Still, a 4ft, clean, offshore wave at Anzacs is a great little session.

After that, the swell almost completely dries up from the 19th through to the 22nd, with tiny waves and poor conditions. A bit of a flat spell.

There's a flicker of life on Friday the 21st with a 3ft SW swell and a clean offshore wind, but it's not a standout.

The real standout, if you can wait, is looking like Wednesday the 26th of August. A massive SW groundswell (combined energy of 8209) is forecast to hit at 10ft with a 17-second period – that's a serious, very long-period groundswell. However, the wind is a howling 28 mph cross-onshore, making it a total mess. This is a classic case of big, powerful swell but completely blown out. For paddle surfing, it's a no-go, but with that much wind and swell, it might be a kite surfer's dream. The conditions are poor for us, so we'll have to pass on that.

After that, the swell drops back but remains onshore and messy through to the end of the period.

So, looking at the whole 16 days, the standout sessions are the clean, offshore mornings on Sunday the 16th, Monday the 17th, and Tuesday the 18th. The Sunday has the best combo of size and conditions. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or both.

Signing off,
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.
