Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s break down Anzacs for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a proper run of clean, consistent south-west groundswell early on, and that first part of the week is where you want to be. Water temp is sitting about normal for the season.
Monday 6 July starts with a clean 4ft south-west swell, 15-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the north-east. Energy is moderate (550). The afternoon goes glassy, swell drops to 3ft but the period holds at 14 seconds, and it’s real smooth (409).
Tuesday 7 July morning is another cracker – offshore wind, 4ft south-west swell, and the period stretches to 17 seconds, energy up to 694. That’s good groundswell. Afternoon gets cross-shore, so hit the early session.
Wednesday 8 July morning is the big standout. Swell at 4ft from the south-west, period hitting 19 seconds – that’s very long interval groundswell. Energy jumps to 1534, strong. Light offshore breeze, clean as a whistle. This one’s packing punch – not for beginners, only for those who can handle long-period juice.
Through Friday 10 July, it stays clean with chest-high swell and offshore or glassy conditions. Thursday 9 July afternoon goes dead calm, glassy with 4ft swell (479). Friday 10 July holds clean with 4ft (793) in the morning and 4ft (572) in the afternoon.
Then Saturday 11 July it all falls apart. Wind hits 30–40 km/h from the north, still offshore but way too strong. Scores drop to zero. Blank run begins here.
Sunday 12 July has 40 km/h cross-onshore wind, messy, swell drops to 2ft (108). Then a stormy 6ft shows up with a 6-second period – no good. Monday 13 July is onshore and blown out with 6–7ft swell (1997 to 2199). Tuesday 14 July sees 8ft swell (1358) but a short 10-second period and strong cross-wind – lumpy and only for experts. Kite surfers would have a better time.
Thursday 16 July morning offers a reprieve – 5ft south-west swell (860), 15-second period, light north wind, clean. Score picks up. Friday 17 July drops to 3ft (293), clean but small.
Saturday 18 July has 4ft south-west swell with 17-second period (1014), but wind is 30–35 km/h from the north – offshore but howling, marginal at best. After that, strong wind and onshore rain through Tuesday 21 July, with a 5ft south swell on the 21st but onshore wind – not worth it.
Get your waves Monday 6 July through Friday 10 July, and mark Wednesday 8 July for the serious stuff. The rest is a long quiet spell.
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.
