Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down this 16-day look at Anzacs in feet and miles per hour.
The first couple of days are the real highlights. Friday the 10th of July morning serves up clean 4ft swell from the SW, with a 15-second period. The wind is a light cross-off at 9 mph from the N, and the combined wave energy is a solid 724. Friday afternoon turns to glass with a 4ft SW swell at 15 seconds and near-silent winds from the NNE at 3 mph. That’s as good as it gets. The water temp is 57°, which is about average for this time of year.
Saturday the 11th morning drops off. The swell is 3ft from the SW, but the wind picks up to a fresh 19 mph from the N. Wave energy falls to 297, and conditions are poor. The afternoon is a write-off with winds at 25 mph.
Sunday the 12th sees the swell jump to 10ft from the WSW, but the wind is a messy cross-shore at 31 mph from the NW. Wave energy is 2327, meaning a lot of power, but the wind makes it a total mess. The afternoon is a cross-on mess at 22 mph with rain. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing.
Monday the 13th through Tuesday the 14th are a write-off with strong cross-shore and cross-onshore winds in the 19 to 25 mph range, despite 8ft to 12ft of swell. Wave energy peaks at 9046 on Tuesday morning, but it’s an ugly, lumpy mess.
Wednesday the 15th improves. Morning swell is 8ft from the WSW, but the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph cross-shore. Wave energy is still high at 4908, but conditions are marginal with some cross-chop. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 6ft from the SW and the wind goes light at 6 mph from the NW, but it’s still only marginal.
Then another real delight arrives on Thursday the 16th of July. The morning brings clean 4ft SW swell at 14 seconds with a light cross-off wind from the NNW (6 mph) and a solid 753 wave energy. The afternoon turns glassy again with a 4ft SW swell and a glassy S wind at 3 mph. That’s another fantastic session.
Friday the 17th of July morning looks excellent for experienced surfers with a 5ft SW swell and a very long 16-second period. The wind is a clean 9 mph cross-off from the N, and the energy is 1096. That’s a nice groundswell, but with a period that long, it's best on a point or reef. That’s the second standout. The afternoon is more marginal.
After that, it fades. Saturday the 18th offers some clean 4ft to 4ft swell with light cross-off winds, but it’s marginal. Sunday the 19th drops to a tiny 2ft from the SW and stays poor for the rest of the week. A big gap from the 19th through the 25th of July with only weak, marginal, or poor conditions. The only highlight in the tail end is the morning of the 25th with a clean but tiny 3ft swell.
So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Friday the 10th and Thursday the 16th, with glassy afternoon conditions. Friday the 17th morning is also a standout for experienced surfers with that long-period groundswell. Get on it while the wind’s friendly.
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.
Anzacs is 44 km (27 miles) from Mornington. If you plan a holiday in Phillip Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mornington. Mornington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
