The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for Anzacs.

The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some solid swell on the horizon, but the wind is going to be the main character for a while. The first few days are a write-off for a decent paddle, with onshore winds and rain making things messy. The real standout is a good week away, on the 7th of August, when the stars finally align. There’s a seriously good pulse of swell that morning, and the wind is gonna be sweet. Another cracker runs into the middle of the second week, but we’ll get to that.

The opening day, Thursday the 30th of July, is nasty. Solid 6 ft SW swell, but it’s got a 12 mph WSW wind smackin’ right into it, and the wave energy is moderate (991). It’s just poor, choppy slop. Friday the 31st is a bit better. The swell drops to 4 ft, but the wind swings clean offshore from the NNW at 6 mph. The energy is a bit weak (391), but the waves will be clean. Saturday the 1st of August has a long period 18 second SW groundswell at 4 ft, but the wind is cross-off from the N. The energy is moderate (433). It’s okay, but the long period will make it a bit walled at the beach break. Sunday the 2nd has the same size but the wind cranks up to 19 mph from the N, making it tough to manage. Monday and Tuesday are more of the same – onshore wind and rain. A real dud run.

Then we get to the 7th of August. This is the one. Friday morning, the swell jumps to 8 ft from the SW, with a solid 17 second period. The combined wave energy is strong (2945). But the magic is the wind: a light, clean, cross-off breeze from the ESE at just 6 mph. That’s a big, powerful, clean swell. This is only for the experienced crew though – 8 ft is a solid step up, and the long period means it’ll be standing up and throwing. The crowd at Anzacs can be a bit of a factor, so get there early. If you’re a confident surfer, this is your window.

The weekend of the 8th and 9th of August settles down. The swell drops to 4 ft – 4 ft, but the wind is clean offshore from the ENE and NNE. The energy is moderate (606-834). This is a good, fun size for the intermediate surfer, with clean, lined-up waves. It’s not the standout of the period, but it’s a solid session.

The next big standout is Monday the 10th of August afternoon. The swell picks up to 5 ft from the SW, with a moderate 15 second period. The energy is strong (1045). The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNW. That’s a solid, powerful pulse with clean conditions. Then Tuesday the 11th holds that 5 ft, but the wind starts to get messy again later in the day.

The last big highlight is Thursday the 13th of August. In the afternoon, the swell is 5 ft from the SW, but the period is a long 17 seconds. The energy is strong (1914). The wind is glassy, from the E at just 3 mph. That means the surface will be like a mirror. This is a beautiful, long period groundswell with zero wind. It’s a bit much for a beginner, but for the experienced surfer, this is a treat. The long period makes it better for a point or reef, but at a beach break it might still be a bit walled. Still, glassy conditions with that much energy is a rare thing.

Friday the 14th of August has a big 7 ft SW swell with a 19 second period, giving it very strong energy (3723). But the wind is a strong 25 mph from the N. It’ll be clean, but that’s a lot of wind and a lot of swell. It’s a big, heavy, powerful ocean – only for the experts, and even then, it’s a serious paddle.

Keep an eye on the forecasts. The first few days are a waste of time, but the 7th and the 13th are the ones to circle on the calendar.

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.
