The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee, let's have a chat about what's coming up at Anzacs. It's a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are a couple of windows that are going to be absolutely firing.

Right now, to kick things off on Sunday the 13th, we've got some waist-high plus swell rolling in, around 4ft from the southwest. It's a proper long-period groundswell, 15 seconds, giving it some serious grunt with moderate wave energy (606). The wind is a bit of a cross-off, not perfect but clean enough to make it surfable. It's a day for the keen intermediate, not a standout.

We hit a bit of a flat, messy patch from Monday the 14th through to about Wednesday the 16th. The swell drops right off and the wind gets ugly, turning it into a washing machine. By Tuesday the 15th, the swell jumps up, but it's pulsing in with a strong 22-25 mph onshore wind. The wave energy climbs into the thousands (1542), but the quality is trash. This is kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.

After a few days of lumpy onshore wind and building swell that gets up to a solid 10ft, things start to look up around Thursday the 17th. The swell drops a bit to a more manageable 6ft, and the wind goes light onshore. It's still a bit marginal, but the energy (1212) is moderate. It's not the best, but it's a step in the right direction.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The real standout is on Monday the 21st of September. The day starts with a glassy, dead-calm morning. That is a major positive. We've got a solid 6ft southwest swell with moderate-to-strong energy (1179). The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It's going to be clean as a whistle, with the long-period groundswell offering up some nice lines. Fingers crossed the crowds aren't too heavy – it can get busy here sometimes.

Then, on Thursday the 24th of September, we've got another beauty. It's a bigger day, with the swell pushing 8ft and a very long period of 19 seconds. The wave energy is strong (4186) and the wind is a light cross-off. This is big, powerful, and clean. Definitely for experienced surfers only at this size, but the quality is top-notch. This is the best looking swell of the whole outlook, but being a couple of weeks out, treat it as a promising, long-range possibility.

After that, the swell backs off again into the last week of September, with some smaller, cleaner days that are worth a look, but nothing that screams "drop everything." The final day on the 28th is a massive 12ft groundswell, but honestly, for a spot like Anzacs, that's just too much. It'll be a washed-out, dangerous mess. Skip it.

So, to sum it up: ride the small, clean swell this Sunday the 13th if you're keen, but the real standouts are that glassy Monday morning on the 21st and the big, clean power of Thursday the 24th. See you out there.

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.
