The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Anzacs over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burn to start, but there’s some real potential if you’re willing to wait.

Right off the bat, the water’s sitting at 57°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – not a game changer, but you won’t need the thickest rubber just yet.

The first few days are pretty grim. Monday the 7th is a write-off with a strong cross-onshore wind making a mess of things, despite there being some size. Tuesday the 8th is still a struggle – the swell’s there but it’s a bit lumpy and the conditions aren't quite locking in. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th see a big pulse of SW swell, hitting 10ft, but the wind is howling straight onshore. That’s a lot of raw power (combined energy of 8907 on Thursday morning) but with the wind all over it, it’s a no-go for a paddle. That kind of setup might be more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.

Friday the 11th is still marginal – the swell drops back to 6ft, but the wind finally swings offshore. The period is a long 15 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, but it’s not quite clean enough to call it good.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Saturday the 12th is the standout window. The morning has a clean 5ft SW swell with a long 16-second period and a cross-off breeze. The afternoon goes glassy – zero wind – and the swell holds at 5ft with that same long period. The combined energy is 988, moderate, but the conditions will be absolutely pristine. This is the pick of the whole forecast. If you can only get in once, make it this day. Expect some company though – crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.

The next week is a mixed bag. Sunday the 13th is smaller at 4ft and the wind picks up again, though it stays cross-off. The following days are mostly average, with onshore winds and lumpy conditions. There’s a pulse of 7ft swell on Tuesday the 15th, but the period drops to 11 seconds, and the wind is onshore – it’s just not the same quality.

The second week has a few flashes of hope. Thursday the 17th morning looks promising – 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period and a clean cross-off breeze. Not a standout, but a solid session. Then, right at the tail end of the forecast, Monday the 21st afternoon and Tuesday the 22nd morning are worth keeping an eye on. The 21st has a solid 8ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period and light cross-shore wind – the combined energy is 3039, which is strong. It’s a bit big for beginners at that size, but experienced surfers will be licking their lips. The 22nd morning is cleaner with a cross-off wind and 8ft of the same long-period SW swell. It’s a long way out, so don’t lock it in yet, but it has all the ingredients.

For the best surf, stick with Saturday the 12th – that glassy afternoon session is the one to chase. The long-period SW groundswell will be pushing in nicely, and with zero wind, it’ll be as clean as it gets. If you miss that, the following week has some solid but less certain options, especially around the 21st and 22nd.

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.
