The Lowdown
Alright, surf’s looking a bit rough for the next couple of days, not gonna lie. We got a load of swell coming in, but the wind is just killing it. Let’s get into what we got.
The water temp is 56°F, so about average for this time of year. For Tuesday and Wednesday, it’s a write-off. We got fresh breezes from the west and northwest, mostly cross and cross-onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. There’s plenty of energy in the water – we’re talking 880 to 2865 (moderate to strong) – but it’s messy, and the surface is just a mess.
Thursday and Friday are not much better. We’ve got solid swell – 7ft to 8ft at 16 seconds – but the wind stays onshore and it’s just a constant chop. It’s not doing anyone any favors.
Saturday is a slight improvement, but it’s still cross-onshore with small wind ripples. Waves around 6ft, but it’s still pretty average.
Now, the one to circle on the calendar. Sunday morning, the 16th. The wind goes offshore from the NE, and the forecast says very good surf conditions. The swell has backed off to a clean 5ft from the southwest with a 14-second period. Energy is moderate, but that offshore wind will polish it right up. That’s your best chance for a proper, clean session.
Monday and Tuesday mornings also look like they could be fun. Light offshore winds again, with the swell dropping to around 4ft. It’s small, but clean. Tuesday morning has a nice 15-second period to it, so it should have a bit more push.
After that, it drops off. The middle of the week is super small, down to 2ft. Not worth it. We’ll have a bit of a lull from the 19th through the 22nd.
The next potential blip is Saturday morning, the 22nd. Still small, around 4ft, but it looks glassy and clean with an offshore wind. That’s over a week away though, so don’t book the day off yet. After that, the forecasts get messy with a lot of wind, and the swell fades out. By the 26th, there’s a short-period, 8ft cross-shore mess that looks more like a kitesurfing day than a surfing one.
So, in short: get out there early Sunday morning. That’s your standout. The mornings on Monday and Tuesday are your backup. Then keep an eye on Saturday the 22nd, but don’t get your hopes up too high.

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.
