G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the charts for Anzacs, and there’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a write-off, but some clean, fun-sized swell shows up after that.
Sunday the 5th is a no-go – we’ve got 7ft to 7ft of SSW swell, but it’s getting smashed by a 12-18 mph ESE breeze. The numbers are there (4540 combined energy), but the wind’s just ruining it. Leave it alone.
The real action kicks off Monday the 6th. We get a clean 4ft SW groundswell (15-second period) with a light offshore NE breeze in the morning, turning glassy in the arvo with 3ft pulses. The combined energy is modest (547), but the conditions are spot-on for an intermediate. That morning session is your best bet for the whole run – it’s clean, crowd factor is a worry (it gets busy sometimes at Anzacs), and the swell is manageable.
Tuesday the 7th holds similar 4ft SW swell, clean enough in the morning with a light NNE cross-off, but it gets a bit lumpy in the afternoon as it goes cross-shore. Worth a paddle, but not the standout.
Wednesday the 8th sees a jump in energy. The morning serves up 4ft SW swell at a very long 19-second period under clean offshore NE wind, and the combined energy hits 1639. That’s a proper groundswell, so expect long lines and good shape – but at a beach break like this, it might run straight. The afternoon is glassy with 5ft surf (1828 energy). Both sessions are for experienced surfers only, as it’s pushing into the bigger range. This is another top-tier day if you’ve got the skills.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th keep the 4ft to 4ft SW swell rolling with light winds. Good, clean fun on the table, not epic but solid session material.
Saturday the 11th gets messy – a 25 mph N wind blows up, and Sunday the 12th sees rain and strong cross/onshore winds with 7ft to 8ft SW swell. That’s a big, chopped-out mess; perfect for kite surfing, not for a paddle.
The following week (from July 13th) has pulses of solid 8ft to 10ft SW swell, but it’s always battling fresh to strong winds – cross, cross-off, or onshore. The energy is massive (up to 7685), but the quality is shot. A couple of marginal windows on the 13th and 20th mornings, but they’re lumpy and not worth the hassle for most.
So, to wrap it up: Monday the 6th morning is the champ – clean, chest-high waves and a light offshore. Wednesday the 8th morning is the expert option with bigger, powerful groundswell. After that first week, it’s all about waiting for cleaner conditions.
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.
