The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a look at what’s coming up for Anzacs. Let’s be straight up front: it’s a tough start. For the first week and a half, we’re fighting the wind and messy conditions. There’s a solid groundswell on the way with some impressive energy, but you won’t want to be out there until the wind lines up right.

The real standout is the morning of Thursday, the 30th of July. That’s our window. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the southwest with a 13-second period, combined wave energy of 1038 (moderate), and a light easterly cross-offshore breeze. That’s the recipe for some excellent, clean waves for experienced surfers. It’s a proper groundswell, so expect some nice lines, especially on the point. Earlier in that same week, we have a massive pulse from the 23rd through the 29th, with swell heights from 8ft to 12ft and combined energy readings shooting up to over 7200 (very strong). But every single day has fresh, lumpy cross-onshore wind. That’s a mess. The 12ft on the 29th of July has that huge energy, but it’s ruined by the wind. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For beginners, once the swell hits over 5ft and especially over 8ft, it’s expert territory only, so stay out of that.

After that clean window on the 30th, the surf drops right off. The 31st is tiny and weak, barely worth a mention. Then we get a bit of a rebound into the start of August. The morning of Monday the 3rd of August looks promising, with a 4ft southwest groundswell, a 15-second period, combined energy of 891 (moderate), and light north winds giving us clean conditions. It’s a smaller wave, but the quality should be there. The following days up to the 7th of August have bits and pieces, but nothing to get wild about until the final morning we can see: Friday the 7th of August. That morning shows 5ft from the southwest, a very long 17-second period, combined energy of 1302 (strong), and light north cross-offshore wind. That’s another excellent window for experienced surfers, with plenty of energy and clean conditions, but it’s far out, so keep an eye on it.

Crowds are a possibility at Anzacs on the good days, so get there early if you can. The water temp is unremarkable for this time of year, so nothing unusual to report there. The combined swell energy gets strong here when the swell is big, but you need the wind to play ball. This is a spot that can fire, but you have to pick your moment. The first week is a write-off for quality surfing; the second week has a couple of very promising mornings.

That’s the story, folks. Get on the 30th or the 3rd if you can. 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.
