Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anzacs over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s coming, in feet and miles per hour.
Straight up, the first few days are a bust. Monday the 10th has a 5ft SW swell, but it’s blowing 30 km/h cross-off and the conditions are junk. Tuesday the 11th is small and lumpy cross-shore. Wednesday and Thursday the swell cranks up over 8ft with onshore winds – that’s expert-only and blown out. Nothing worth paddling for.
Your first real chance comes Sunday morning the 16th. Light east wind, cross-off, cleaning up a 5ft SW swell (period 14 seconds). Combined wave energy is 970 (moderate). It’s a little raw, but it’s the first window.
Then we get the best of the run. Tuesday the 18th. Morning has clear skies and a light north cross-off breeze with a 4ft SW swell, 15-second period. But the standout is Tuesday afternoon – glassy conditions. A southerly breeze at just 5 km/h and the same 4ft SW swell. That is as clean as it gets for Anzacs. Smooth, lined up, and waiting.
The swell drops to 2ft or less after that, until late in the second week. Saturday the 23rd afternoon brings back a solid 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period, light offshore NNW wind, and combined energy at 1537. That’s a long-period groundswell – more power and better shape, but longer waits and a bit straight for a beach break.
Water temp is around 56°F, about average for this time of year. Crowds can show up at Anzacs, but with the iffy outlook, you’ll have plenty of room on the good days.
Bottom line: Tuesday the 18th afternoon is the clear winner – glassy, clean, head-high. Sunday the 16th morning is your backup. That’s it.
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.
