Anzacs Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, grab your wettie and let’s have a squiz at what’s coming our way at Anzacs. We’ve got a proper run of groundswell lined up, but the wind is going to be the thing that makes or breaks it. Water temp is sittin’ at 57°, which is a full 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a little gift from the ocean gods.

The first real chance to paddle out comes on Friday the 11th. Thursday is a write-off – onshore slop with 8ft of lump. But Friday morning? That’s the pick of the first week. Glassy conditions, 6ft of clean SW groundswell at a long 15 seconds. The energy is solid, and that offshore wind will have the lines looking like glass. This is intermediate-friendly, but the long period means those sets will have some push – best for the more experienced crew.

Saturday the 12th morning keeps the quality high with 6ft SW swell, 16 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. Clean conditions, solid energy, and the wave shape will be there. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so get in early.

We hit a flat patch from Sunday the 13th through Monday the 14th – the swell drops right off to under 3ft and the wind gets messy. Not worth paddling for.

Tuesday the 15th looks like a bit of a beast – 10ft of SW swell, but it’s hammered by strong SW onshores. That’s big, messy, and not much fun for anyone. The energy is massive, but only if you’re a kite surfer or a masochist. Skip it.

Wednesday the 16th is the next standout. The morning brings glassy conditions again, with 6ft of SW groundswell at 14 seconds. Clean, punchy, and the energy is still up there. This is a true morning mission.

After that, the wind gets fluky through the end of the week, but there’s another beauty on Monday the 21st afternoon – 10ft of WSW swell with a 16-second period and cross-shore winds. That’s a lot of water moving, but it’s only for the experts. If you’re charging, you’ll have your work cut out.

Then, on Tuesday the 22nd morning, we get another glass-off with 6ft SW at 15 seconds. Clean, consistent, and the setup will be epic.

The real gold, though, is Friday the 25th morning – that’s the standout of the whole outlook. Clear skies, light offshore breeze, 8ft of SW groundswell with an 18-second period. That is proper long-period groundswell. The energy is massive, and with that wind it’s going to be peeling. This is the one to circle on your calendar. Keep in mind, with that long period, it might break a bit too straight on a beach, but at Anzacs it should line up nicely.

So, the best of the best: Friday the 11th morning for the first clean session, and Friday the 25th morning for the biggest, cleanest swell of the run.

Rusty.
