The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty, and we're lookin' at the next 16 days at Anzacs. It's a mixed bag, with some real promise, but we've got to get through a bit of a rough patch first.

The water temperature is sitting at 56°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

We're starting off with a bit of a wait. The first few days are a write-off – Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd bring strong, messy winds and poor surf. Thursday the 3rd is even worse with a strong breeze and rain, making it a total no-go. The swell is building, but the conditions are just too ugly.

Friday the 4th shows a flicker of hope. The morning sees a cross-offshore wind and a clean 8ft swell from the southwest, with a solid 16-second period. The combined energy is strong at 3053 (moderate to strong wave energy). It's a bit big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it's looking clean and promising. The afternoon stays clean but the swell drops a touch.

Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are a write-off again with strong winds and rain, so we'll have to be patient.

Monday the 7th is a bit of a surprise. The swell drops right down to 3ft, but it's clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is weak at 338. It's small, but for a longboard or a funboard, it could be a nice, clean session. The swell is from the southwest with a 13-second period.

Tuesday the 8th sees a big jump in size, but it's all onshore wind and messy. The swell hits 12ft with a 19-second period, but the wind is howling from the southwest, making it a total mess. The combined energy is a massive 6865, but it's not for paddle surfing.

Here's the standout: The real gem is looking like Friday the 11th of September. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze from the northwest, and a solid 8ft southwest swell with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is strong at 3805. This is groundswell at its finest – long lines, heaps of energy. The long period means it'll be a bit better at point breaks and reefs, but here at Anzacs, it'll still be a powerful, clean session. The afternoon also stays clean, with the swell dropping to 7ft. This is definitely the best on offer for the intermediate to expert surfer.

The following days drop off again. Saturday the 12th is clean but smaller, and then from Sunday the 13th through to Tuesday the 15th, it's a mix of onshore winds and poor conditions. The combined energy stays low.

Tuesday the 15th of September morning has a surprise: a clean 5ft swell from the southwest with a very long 18-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the north-northeast. The combined energy is moderate at 1391. It's small, but glassy conditions make it a great option for a fun, clean session.

The final day, Wednesday the 16th, is a return to strong onshore winds and poor surf.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The best bet is Friday the 11th, with clean, powerful 8ft swell. Keep an eye on Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 15th for smaller, cleaner sessions. The long-range forecast for the 11th looks promising, but as always, it's a bit less certain this far out.

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.

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.
