The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way.
Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a wait on our hands. The surf over the next few days is looking pretty average, and honestly, not worth paddling out for. Sunday the 26th has some waist-high swell with a moderate cross-breeze, but the energy is weak and the conditions are just messy. There's a solid 7ft swell on Sunday morning, but it's wind-affected and the combined energy is moderate at best, so it's not going to be doing anything special. Monday and Tuesday are even worse with strong winds and poor conditions, so you're better off staying on the beach.
The real action starts to build towards the end of the first week. Wednesday the 30th is a write-off with onshore winds and big, blown-out surf. But then, things start to get interesting.
The standout window is definitely Saturday the 8th of August. This is the one to circle on your calendar. Saturday morning we've got a clean 7ft SSW groundswell, with a very long period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is a whopping 4738, which is strong and powerful. That's proper, energetic groundswell. Winds are light and offshore from the north, so the faces at Anzacs are going to be clean and groomed. This is a big, powerful swell, so it's for experienced surfers only. The afternoon glass off with a 5ft swell is a beautiful bonus, perfect for a session on the smaller boards.
Leading up to that, Sunday the 2nd of August is a solid warm-up, with a 5ft SW swell and clean offshore winds. The energy is good, and it'll be a fun, punchy day.
Don't sleep on Wednesday the 5th of August either. That morning has a clean 6ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the wind is a tiny offshore breeze from the NNE. The combined energy is strong, and the report says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." That's a serious session in the making, a big, clean groundswell for the crew who know what they're doing.
The rest of the second week has some fun, clean windows, but nothing that tops that Saturday the 8th. The water is sitting at 57°F, which is about average for this time of year, so you'll want a decent wetsuit.
So, keep your powder dry for the first few days, get ready for Wednesday the 5th, and make sure you're free on Saturday the 8th. That's the pick of the bunch.
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.
