Alright folks, let’s talk Anzacs in feet and miles. Water’s about 57.6°F – nothing weird for this time of year.
Monday July 6 morning: 3.6 ft SW groundswell, 15 seconds, clean with a light offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph. Combined energy 550 – moderate. Afternoon’s sketchy with tide, so get out early.
Tuesday July 7 morning: again 3.6 ft SW, period up to 17 seconds, cross-off breeze at 6 mph. Energy 694. Nice consistent little waves.
Wednesday July 8 morning is the big one. Swell 3.9 ft SW, period a very long 19 seconds – that’s serious groundswell. Energy rockets to 1534 – strong. Wind light cross-off from ENE at 6 mph, glassy. It’s marked excellent for experienced surfers because those long-period waves can be a bit straight at beach breaks, but Anzacs handles it. Crowds possible. Don’t miss it.
Thursday July 9 and Friday July 10 stay clean: 3.9-4.3 ft, 15-16 seconds, light offshore or glassy winds. Energy moderate to strong. Great run.
Then it gets ugly. Saturday July 11 morning drops to 3 ft, wind 16 mph, marginal. Afternoon 2.6 ft, 22 mph – poor. Sunday July 12 is blown out. Monday July 13 through Thursday July 16: big swell 7.2-8.2 ft but strong onshore winds, total washout. Kite maybe, surf no.
Friday July 17 still messy. Saturday July 18 morning: 3 ft SW, 16 seconds, clean with light cross-off at 6 mph. Energy 442 – moderate. Not big but clean.
Sunday July 19 morning is another standout: 4.6 ft SW, 16 seconds, energy 964 – strong. Wind light cross-off from the NNE at 9 mph, clean. Both sessions good. Crowds likely. After that, Monday July 20 back to onshore mess, and Tuesday July 21 has 6.9 ft SW clean but with 28 mph offshore winds – only for experts and marginal.

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.
