The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for us over the next couple of weeks.

We've got a bit of a mixed bag at Anzacs, with the water temperature sitting at 57°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The swell energy is moderate, with a reading of 579, but it's coming from the same direction as the wind, which is a bit of a bummer for the start.

The first decent window opens up on Thursday, the 27th of August. The morning is looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, and a 3ft southwest swell with a 12-second period. The swell energy is low (274), but it's clean and the wind is light, so it's a good one for a paddle. The afternoon is a bit marginal with a light cross-onshore wind, but still worth a look.

Friday, the 28th, has a bit more size but the wind is messy. The morning sees a 4ft southwest swell with a very long 18-second period, and the energy is strong (1378). The cross-shore wind from the WNW will put a bit of chop on the face, so it's not the cleanest. The afternoon jumps to 6ft with a 17-second period, but the onshore wind from the SW makes it a bit of a write-off.

Saturday and Sunday the 29th and 30th are pretty poor with onshore winds and choppy conditions, so I'd give them a miss.

Now, here's the real standout. Monday, the 31st of August, is looking bloody good. The morning has a clean 5ft southwest swell with a 15-second period, a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, and the energy is strong (1187). The afternoon is even better with glassy conditions and a 5ft southwest swell (14-second period). This is the best on offer, no doubt about it. The swell is a bit solid, so it's more for experienced surfers, but the conditions will be excellent.

Tuesday, the 1st of September, is a write-off with strong winds, but Wednesday, the 2nd of September, is another cracker. The morning has glassy conditions and a 6ft southwest swell with a 15-second period. The energy is strong (1254). This is a ripper, but the afternoon gets a bit windy.

After that, we hit a rough patch. From Thursday, the 3rd of September, through to Monday, the 7th, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the waves are messy. The swell gets bigger, up to 8ft, but the wind is all wrong, so it's a no-go. The energy is strong (over 2000), but it's just not clean.

We get a bit of a reprieve on Tuesday, the 8th of September, with a 6ft southwest swell and a light cross-shore wind, but the conditions are still marginal. Wednesday, the 9th, is looking much better with a clean morning, a 4ft southwest swell, and a 16-second period, but the wind picks up in the afternoon.

The final days get a bit wild. Thursday, the 10th of September, has a 7ft swell from the WSW with a short 12-second period and strong winds, then the afternoon blows up to 12ft with a 13-second period and an onshore wind. The energy is massive (4267), but the wind is onshore, so it's a messy, big swell. This is only for the experts, and even then, it's going to be a battle.

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.
