The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the first few days are a write-off. We’ve got a solid pulse of swell arriving, but the wind is absolutely trashing it. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are a no-go with onshore and cross-onshore winds ruining the shape. The water’s sitting at 57°F, which is about normal for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
By Monday the 27th, the wind swings cross-offshore and the swell drops to around 3ft to 4ft from the SW with an 11 second period. The energy is weak (299 to 315), but the clean conditions will make it rideable for those desperate for a paddle. It’s not gonna be classic, but it’s a start.
Tuesday the 28th sees a bump in the swell period to 12 seconds with 4ft from the SW, but the wind is a fresh to strong breeze, so it’s messy and only for the hardcore. The combined energy is moderate (555 to 671), but the wind just kills it.
Then Wednesday the 29th gets a massive spike of 12ft from the SW, 16 seconds, with a combined energy of 5748. That’s a serious groundswell, but it’s accompanied by onshore gales, making it a total mess. Only for the experts and even then, it’s not worth it.
We get a bit of a lull from Thursday the 30th through to Monday the 3rd of August. The swell drops to 3ft to 5ft, the period is long (12 to 18 seconds), and the wind is mostly cross-off, so the conditions are clean. The combined energy is moderate (315 to 997). The issue is the swell is inconsistent and the scores are marginal. You’ll find small, clean waves but you’ll have to work for them.
Now, the standout window. The best on offer is Thursday the 6th of August. Early morning brings a 4ft SW swell with a 17-second period, combined energy of 1102, and a gentle offshore breeze from the NNE. That’s a classic setup. The water is clean, the waves will have power and shape. This is the one to circle. The afternoon goes glassy, with 4ft from the SW and a 16-second period, energy at 603 – perfect for a longboard or a cruiser.
Friday the 7th still has clean conditions in the morning, but the swell drops to 3ft, so it’s smaller. The weekend of the 8th and 9th sees the swell build again to 7ft by Sunday morning, with cross-off winds and a 12-second period. Energy is moderate (1088). It’ll be clean and punchy, but the period is shorter, so the waves will be steeper and more powerful – a good option for the experienced.
Overall, the first week is a bust. The second week cleans up nicely, with Thursday the 6th being the absolute standout. Get that day booked in.
Rusty.

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.
