Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anzacs over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
The standout session is without a doubt Friday afternoon on July 10th at Anzacs. We’ve got a nice 4-foot groundswell rolling in from the southwest with a long period of 15 seconds – that’s real juice, the kind that sets up proper lines. The combined energy is 657 (moderate), so there’s plenty of push. The wind is glassy, light from the northeast at just 3 mph, so the surface is going to be clean as a whistle. Water temp is 57°, which is about normal for this time of year. That’s your window.
Saturday the 11th the wind picks up from the north at 18 mph, cross-off but getting gusty, and the swell drops to 3 feet. By the afternoon, the wind is howling at 28 mph – not worth the paddle. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th see some big swell building – 8 to 10 feet with combined energy shooting into the thousands (1,656 on Sunday morning, 3,219 on Monday morning). But the wind is strong cross or cross-onshore, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. That’s expert-only stuff, and honestly, it looks more like a kiteboarding day.
Tuesday the 14th holds that size – 8 to 10 feet – with fresh cross-onshore winds. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th ease off to around 5 to 6 feet, with lighter winds and cleaner looks, but the swell is still moderate period (14 seconds) and the energy drops. Conditions are still marginal. Friday the 17th shows some hope with 5 to 6 feet at 16 seconds and clean winds, but it’s still a “maybe.” Saturday the 18th fades to 4 feet and then 4 feet, with cleaner winds but less power.
There’s a real lull from Sunday the 19th through Tuesday the 21st – swell dropping under 3 feet, strong winds, and poor conditions. That’s a few days where you’re better off doing something else. Then we get another pulse around Wednesday the 22nd: 6 feet building to 10 feet by the afternoon, but the wind is cross-shore and moderate, giving us that lumpy cross-chop again. It’s not great. Thursday the 23rd packs a punch with 10-foot swell and combined energy over 4,877 (strong to very strong), but again, onshore winds kill it. Friday the 24th remains marginal, and by Saturday the 25th, the swell is back down to 4 feet, with light winds but little energy.
So the call is simple: Friday afternoon July 10th is your best shot – clean, glassy, and decent size. There’s plenty of swell later on, but the wind just won’t play nice. If you’re into raw power and messy conditions, you know what you’re getting into.
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.
