The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet, Fahrenheit, and miles per hour.
So, Anzacs is the spot. Thursday the 30th is a total write-off – onshore wind, rain, and a lumpy 6ft SW swell. The swell energy is moderate (991), but you wouldn’t bother. Friday morning the 31st cleans up a bit with a light breeze and a smaller 4ft SW swell, but it’s nothing exciting. Friday afternoon goes marginal with a cross-on wind.
The weekend is a mixed bag. Saturday August 1st has a clean morning with a tiny 2ft SW swell and moderate energy (433). That 18-second period is long, so the waves will have some grunt, but it’ll be lining up straight. Saturday afternoon picks up to 4ft SW with a 17-second period and strong energy (1138), but the wind is cross-shore – a bit of a gamble.
Sunday August 2nd has a fresh N wind blowing offshore, with a 5ft SW swell and a 16-second period. The energy is strong (1017), but the surf is marginal – the wind might be too fresh for perfection. It’s on the bigger side for intermediate surfers.
The real standout is Friday August 7th. The early morning is glassy with a 5ft SW swell, 14-second period, and moderate energy (973). Water temp is 57°, which is average for the season. This is the pick – clean, offshore, and a decent size for a fun session. The afternoon gets a bigger 8ft WSW swell, but the wind goes cross-on, so the morning is the winner.
Saturday August 8th is also a strong bet. Both morning and afternoon have clean conditions with offshore breezes. The morning has a 4ft SW swell, and the afternoon a 4ft SW swell with a 15-second period. That’s the weekend session you wait for.
Sunday August 9th looks clean again with a light offshore wind and a 4ft SW swell, but the energy is moderate (845). Good for a longboard.
From the 10th onward, it’s a mess of strong winds and lumpy cross-chop. You’ll see big energy readings like 2292 on Thursday 13th and 2136 on Friday 14th, but with those howling winds, it’s a washing machine. The swell period on Friday 14th hits 22 seconds – a very long groundswell – but with fresh to strong onshore winds, it’s a no-go for paddle surfing. Kite surfers might have a field day, though.
Best call: Friday August 7th morning – glassy, clean, and a solid 5ft SW swell. Saturday August 8th is a close second. The rest is forgettable until the wind knocks off.

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.
