The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin’ at the charts for Anzacs over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow cooker of a forecast. We’ve got some solid SW groundswell pushing through mid-period, but the wind is gonna be our biggest enemy for a good stretch.

It’s all kicking off from Tuesday the 11th of August. We see a wave energy reading of 893 (moderate) coming in, a clean 4ft of SW swell at 14 seconds from the get-go, but that morning it’s already messy with a moderate cross-shore cross-chop. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind switches to a cleaner cross-off, and the swell bumps up to 5ft. It's a start, but nothing to get too excited about.

Honestly, things get a bit ugly from Wednesday the 12th through Friday the 14th. That swell builds right up – we’re talking 5ft to 8ft of SW groundswell at a long 16 seconds. The wave energy gets strong, with readings between 1425 and 3239. But the wind is onshore and sideshore the whole time, so the quality is shot. It’s choppy, lumpy, and messy. Not paddle-surfable in my book, unless you’re thinking about kiting.

We finally get a break in the weather on Saturday the 15th. The swell drops to a nice 6ft, but we’re still dealing with a light cross-onshore. It’s a bit of a wait-and-see day – might be okay in the morning, but it’s marginal.

Sunday the 16th of August is where things finally turn around. The morning looks golden. We get a solid 5ft of SW swell, and the wind swings light offshore from the NE. The wave energy is a moderate 813, but that offshore flow will clean it right up. Expect some fun, clean lines on offer.

The Monday and Tuesday after that keep the good vibes going. Light offshore winds are hanging around, keeping the 4ft to 4ft SW swell nice and tidy. It’s not giant, but for a clean, cruisy session, that’s your window.

There’s a smaller, cleaner run Wednesday the 19th with 2-3ft waves, and then it all but flatlines for a couple of days. Then, look out for Tuesday the 25th of August. We’ve got a new pulse of long-period SW groundswell hitting 4ft at 18 seconds. The energy reading is 1116 (strong) and with light offshore winds and clean conditions forecast for the morning, this one is for the experienced crew. At 4ft with that long period, it’ll have plenty of punch and be best set up for the reef or point. That Tuesday morning is the standout in this whole outlook.

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.
