Anzacs Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board and listen up. Rusty here with the outlook for Anzacs. The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, but we've got a couple of days that are going to be absolute crackers. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so don't expect any surprises when you jump in.

The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 5th is a no-go, with a strong breeze making a mess of things. Sunday and Monday are onshore and lumpy, so save your energy. We start seeing a glimmer of hope on Tuesday the 8th with a light breeze and a long-period 18-second swell. The swell's only 3ft, but that long period (18 seconds) has some serious energy behind it – we're talking a combined energy of 1074. It's a clean, glassy morning, making it a decent option for a quiet, intermediate session, though the tide will be a factor.

Now, Wednesday the 9th afternoon is a weird one. We've got a massive 12ft swell hammering in, with a very long period of 19 seconds and combined energy of 16412. But the wind is fresh and cross-on, and frankly, that size is just too much for this spot. It's for the absolute experts only, and even then, you'd be a bit mad. I’d skip it.

Then we hit our main event. Saturday morning the 12th is the standout. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and we've got a solid 7ft groundswell (18-second period) rolling in from the SW. The combined energy is a beefy 2868. This is “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers” territory. The sets will be clean as a whistle, the waves will have proper shape and power. This is the one to circle on the calendar, but it's for the experienced crew only; that 7ft swell is going to have some punch.

Sunday the 13th morning is another beauty, though a little smaller. Clean 6ft swell with a cross-off breeze and a combined energy of 1344. It won't be as powerful as Saturday, but it will still be a fantastic session.

After that, things taper off. The following week is smaller and more inconsistent. Monday the 14th and the weekend of the 19th offer some clean, small waves for longboards, but nothing to get too worked up about. There's a decent gap of a few days there from the 15th to the 17th where the surf is tiny and not worth paddling out for.

So, to sum it up: don't get wet this weekend. The one to aim for is Saturday the 12th for a glassy, powerful session. Sunday the 13th is your backup. After that, it's small and clean for the cruisers later in the second week.

Stay stoked.
Rusty.
