Anzacs Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table.

Alright, we’ve got a solid run of surf on the way for Anzacs. It’s a very consistent spot, exposed to the SW, and we’re looking at a decent stretch of long-period groundswell coming from that direction. Water temp is sitting at 57.4°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing wild there.

Kicking off on Wednesday the 8th of July, we’re straight into it. Wednesday afternoon brings a clean 5.6 ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period. The wind is glassy and light out of the SE. The wave energy is strong, clocking in at (1966). This is the standout of the whole outlook by a long shot – glassy conditions with a powerful, long-period groundswell. This one’s for experienced surfers though, it’s got some punch.

Moving into Thursday the 9th, the swell drops to a clean 3.6 ft from the SW, period still hanging in the mid-teens. The wind is offshore in the morning from the NNE. Sets will be clean and lined up. Thursday afternoon is glassy again from the east with similar conditions, but the energy drops significantly to a moderate level.

Friday the 10th continues the trend with a 4.3 ft SW swell in the morning, 15-second period, and cross-off wind from the north. Clean, consistent, and really good waves. The afternoon stays clean with a 3.9 ft swell.

Saturday the 11th is a write-off. The wind cranks up to 25 mph from the north, creating messy, poor conditions. Not worth paddling out.

Sunday the 12th sees a massive spike in swell – a 13.1 ft WSW swell with a 13-second period, but the wind is a strong cross-shore, making it a total mess. This is huge, raw power (7844 energy), but not for a paddle board. If you’ve got a kite, this might be your session.

Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are similarly blown out by strong winds and big, messy swell in the 7.5 ft to 9.8 ft range. Tuesday afternoon has clean conditions on the cross-off wind but the swell is 8.2 ft, keeping it for the experts only.

From Wednesday the 15th through to the end of the forecast, we’re looking at a long run of average to good, clean conditions. The wind stays mostly cross-off or light, and the swell settles between 3.3 ft and 6.2 ft from the SW. Nothing huge, but a lot of solid, clean days. Friday the 17th afternoon stands out a bit with a 4.9 ft swell and a 16-second period, clean and light wind. The 19th of July (Sunday) afternoon has a small 2.6 ft swell but with a very long 19-second period – that could be a fun, glassy session if you like the long waits between sets.

Overall, Wednesday the 8th afternoon is the absolute best on offer. After that, the Thursday and Friday mornings are great. The middle of the outlook is messy, but the second week cleans up nicely with plenty of good, surfable days, even if they’re not firing.
