The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the same picture for Anzacs. It’s a rough start, but we’ll get there.
The next few days are a total bust. There’s a 10ft SW swell on Thursday the 23rd, but the wind is screaming from the WSW at 28 mph, making it a choppy, cross-onshore mess. The water is 57°, about normal for this time of year. The energy is huge at 3126, but it’s not for surfing. That stays the same through the weekend. Friday sees 12ft swell with a 15-second period, but the wind is still ugly from the WNW at 22 mph. Saturday and Sunday are more of the same—big swell, but blown out. It’s a real dead zone from Thursday the 23rd all the way to Wednesday the 30th.
Things finally turn on Thursday the 30th. The swell drops to 4ft from the SW, period 13 seconds, and the wind goes light, turning cross-offshore from the NNW. By the afternoon, it’s glassy, with only 3 mph from the WSW. It’s a small, clean session. The best of the whole forecast is Sunday, the 2nd of August. The swell is 6ft from the SW, 15-second period, and the wind goes glassy in the afternoon. The energy is 1347, and it’s set up for experienced surfers—clean, long-period groundswell wrapping in. That’s your standout.
After that, the first week of August serves up some solid windows. Monday the 3rd has 5ft, 16-second period, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE. Tuesday the 4th afternoon is a gem: 4ft, 16-second period, and light offshore wind from the E. The energy is 1033. Then Friday the 7th of August morning looks good with 4ft, 18-second period, and a clean offshore from the NNE. The energy is 1049. It’s a long wait, but the second week makes it worth it.
Rusty, out.

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.
