The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. We’ve got a 16-day stretch here at Anzacs, and it’s a mixed bag. You gotta be patient.
Starting off, Sunday the 6th sees some Southwest swell running 5 to 7 ft with a long 14-second period, and decent energy (1744 to 1140). But the wind is blowing straight onshore, so it’s sloppy. Water temp is nothing weird – about what you’d expect.
From Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th, the swell jacks up but so does the wind, staying onshore and fresh. It’s messy and blown out. By Thursday the 10th, there is a big 10 ft swell (5399 energy) with an 18-second period – that is a heavy groundswell. Wind is still onshore, so it’s not clean. At that size and period, it’s strictly for experts.
The swell drops off through Friday the 11th. The real standout is Saturday the 12th. That morning shows a clean 6 ft Southwest swell with a 16-second period (1660 energy) and a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. The report says “excellent surf conditions” for experienced surfers. That is the morning to get after it. The waves will have good shape, though long-period swells can run a bit straight on the beach. Afternoon stays fun but gets a little cross-on.
After that, Sunday the 13th has smaller, cleaner waves with a northwesterly cross-off breeze, but the swell is down to around 4 ft. Monday the 14th has a sweet moment in the afternoon – glassy, dead calm, and 4 ft of swell. That is a rare, clean session, even if it’s not big.
From Tuesday 15th through Thursday 17th, the wind turns onshore again with lumpy, choppy conditions. There’s a bit of clean cross-off wind Thursday morning with 5 ft of swell, but the energy is dropping.
Looking way out to the 20th and 21st, there’s some decent sized swell on offer again (8 ft, 16 seconds) but the wind is howling from the north-northwest at 28 mph – that’s a strong breeze, making for messy cross-shore chop. That situation looks more like a kite session than a clean surf session.
So here’s the deal: If you want the best window, make plans for Saturday morning 12 September. Clean, solid Southwest swell, and good energy.

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.
