The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of south-west groundswell setting up at Anzacs. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might get away with a slightly thinner suit. The first decent session kicks off on Tuesday afternoon, the 1st of September. It’s not firing yet, with a 4ft SW swell and a 15-second period, but the wind is cross-off from the NNW at 22 mph keeping things clean. The combined energy is moderate (640), so it’s a warm-up lap.

Wednesday the 2nd sees the swell bumping up to 5ft, but the wind swings west and goes cross-on, making it choppy and messy. Not one to write home about.

Now, Thursday the 3rd is a write-off. The swell jumps to 8ft in the morning, hitting 13ft in the afternoon, with a 14-second period. But it’s a cross-on gale from the west at 19-22 mph, blowing the place to pieces. Combined energy is massive (8543 in the arvo), but you’re better off watching from the car park.

Friday the 4th is where it starts to shape up. Morning brings a 8ft SW swell at 16 seconds, and the wind is cross-off from the NW at 19 mph. That’s clean, with combined energy sitting at 3092. This is a solid, powerful groundswell—long period makes it suck harder and hold up better. It’s a bit too much for beginners, but intermediates will love it. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Saturday the 5th is a no-go. Wind is howling from the WNW at 31 mph in the morning, near gale, blowing the 8ft swell to hell. Sunday the 6th is a slight improvement with a 7ft SW swell and cross-shore winds, but it’s still a bit lumpy.

Here’s the real standout: Monday the 7th of September. The swell drops to a clean 3ft, but the wind goes light and cross-off from the NNE at 6 mph. It’s glassy, clean, and the combined energy is low (317), making it a perfect day for a longboard or a funboard. The water is still and the sets will be smooth. This is the pick for the first week.

The second week looks promising but less certain. Friday the 11th offers a 7ft SW swell at 15 seconds with light cross-off winds from the east. That’s clean, powerful, and the combined energy is 2115. Good for experienced surfers.

But the absolute best of the run is Saturday the 12th of September. Morning shows a 8ft SW swell with a cranking 18-second period and near-zero wind from the NNW at 3 mph. That’s glassy, groundswell perfection. Combined energy is 4310. The afternoon pumps up to 10ft with a 17-second period from the SW, and the wind goes light onshore, but the morning session is the one. This is expert-level, big, clean, and powerful. Mark it on the calendar.

After that, it fades. Sunday the 13th is decent with a 6ft SSW swell and offshore winds, but it’s smaller. The rest of the second week drops off to 4ft or less, with a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds. Nothing to get excited about.

So, overall: the first week has a few windows, but Monday the 7th is your best bet for a clean, easy session, and Saturday the 12th is the true stand-out for the experienced crew. Get on it.

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.
