The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let's have a look at Anzacs. It's a very consistent spot, exposed to the southwest, so it's always on the radar. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy to report.
We've got a bit of a wait for the real good stuff. The first few days are a write-off, honestly. The wind is strong and from the wrong direction, making a mess of things. There's a bit of swell on Sunday the 9th of August, with 3.3ft from the SW, period a solid 14 seconds, and a combined energy of (422). The wind is offshore from the NE, so it'll be clean. It's a good little session, but nothing to get overly excited about.
Monday the 10th sees the swell bump up to 5.2ft in the morning, but the wind is a cross-off from the NNW, which is okay, but it's not the best. The afternoon gets ugly with a strong cross-shore wind. Tuesday the 11th is all about that 7.5ft swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds, which is just junky, onshore wind chop. Not worth it.
Wednesday and Thursday are a write-off with strong onshore winds and big, messy energy. The numbers are huge (6216 on Wednesday afternoon), but it's all for the kites, not for paddling.
Now, the standout. Check out Saturday the 15th of August. The morning is the true winner. We've got a clean 6.2ft swell from the SW, period a solid 15 seconds, and a combined energy of (1863). The wind is glassy, dead calm from the south. It's an excellent session for the experienced surfer. That's a proper morning out there.
After that, we get a bit of a clean-up. Sunday the 16th has some clean 4.3ft waves, and Monday the 17th has a decent morning with 4.3ft and light offshore winds from the NE. Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th are still clean but the swell drops right off, down to 3.0ft and 3.3ft.
Then there's a proper gap. From Thursday the 20th through to Friday the 21st, it's flat and rubbish. Onshore winds, tiny waves, nothing to even look at. That's a solid two-day blank run.
The forecast picks up again on Saturday the 22nd with a clean 3.0ft from the WSW, but it's small. The real promise is for Sunday the 23rd of August. The morning has 4.3ft from the SW with a long 16-second period and a combined energy of (1303). The wind is offshore from the NNE, making it a clean, excellent session for experienced surfers. The afternoon is glassy too. That's another one to circle on the calendar, but it's over a week away, so keep an eye on it.

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.
