G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, but there’s a couple of rough days to sit through first.

Right now there’s no surf worth mentioning for the first few days. The forecast doesn’t get going properly until Sunday 6th July, so you’ve got a gap of no real action all through Saturday the 5th.

The real standout window kicks off Monday morning the 7th of July. Anzacs is your spot. Swell from the SW at 4ft, period a nice long 17 seconds – that’s proper groundswell with plenty of push. Winds are offshore from the NE at only 9 mph, setting up clean, lined-up waves. Combined wave energy is moderate (550). Water temps are sitting at 58°, which is nearly a full degree warmer than normal for this time of year – just a touch above average, nothing wild.

Tuesday the 8th is another cracker morning. Swell holds at 4ft, still coming from the SW, but the period lengthens to 19 seconds – that’s long, powerful and will hold its shape beautifully. Wind is light offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, and the combined energy jumps to strong (1596). This is a day for experienced surfers, but if you’re comfortable on a bigger board for a point break, you’ll be rewarded. Keep in mind that very long period swell like this can run a bit straight at beach breaks, but Anzacs is exposed and handles it well.

Wednesday 9th afternoon sees glassy conditions with the wind swinging to NE at only 3 mph, and the swell around 4ft at 15 seconds. That’s a perfect session for a twilight paddle – clean, no chop, just you and the ocean. Crowds can be a thing here sometimes, but on a weekday afternoon you’ll likely dodge the worst of it.

Thursday 10th and Friday 11th mornings both offer clean 4–4ft SW groundswell with light offshore winds, nothing too remarkable but still very solid for this stretch.

Saturday 12th is a write-off. Wind cranks up to 19–25 mph from the NNW and the swell drops to under 3ft. Not worth a look.

But hold tight – Monday 14th morning brings back the goods. Swell jumps to 6ft from the SW, period a solid 15 seconds, and combined energy hits strong (1410). Light offshore from the N again at 6 mph. That’s my pick for the second week: expert territory, but if you’re skilled, it’ll be firing.

The rest of the second week sees a mix of onshore winds and messy conditions, especially from Tuesday 15th afternoon through Wednesday 16th, with gusty southerly winds making things choppy. Still, the swell sticks around well over waist-to-chest high at times.

All in all, the standout is Monday 8th morning at Anzacs. That long 19-second groundswell with light offshore winds is as good as it gets.

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.
