The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, so we're looking at a single spot, Anzacs, and it's a mixed bag. The good news is there's swell almost the whole time, but we've got to work around the wind. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, but there are a couple of clear standout windows where everything lines up.

The real gem of the whole forecast is Friday afternoon, the 7th of August. The wind goes completely glassy, dead calm, with a solid 4ft groundswell rolling in from the southwest. That's a 15-second period, so there's serious energy behind it, with a combined energy of 1195 – that's moderate to strong power. This is the session to lock in. Clean, lined-up waves with that kind of period will be a dream, especially for intermediate surfers. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The weekend takes a downturn. Saturday the 8th still has some 4ft swell, but a strong cross-off breeze will chop it up. Sunday the 9th is a complete no-go with 25 mph winds and poor surf. We're looking at a few days of nothing good after that.

Now, there's a bit of a wild card later in the week. Monday the 10th of August pumps out a massive 12ft swell from the southwest, but it's coming with a strong cross-onshore wind and lumpy conditions. The combined energy is a massive 8501 – that's very strong wave energy. The period is 19 seconds, which is a very long-period groundswell. This is strictly for experts only, and even then, conditions are poor. That size and wind will make it a mess and more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.

The rest of the second week is a bit of a slog. There's consistent waist to chest-high swell, but the wind is often cross or cross-on, keeping things choppy. You'll see a few cleaner windows pop up, like the morning of Monday the 17th of August with a 4ft southwest swell and super light offshore wind. That'll be a nice, clean, small-wave session. The 18th of August also has a couple of glassy periods in the afternoon with clean 3ft swell. Not huge, but fun.

One thing to note: that long-period swell (15-19 seconds) we see a lot of here is best at a point break or reef. Anzacs is exposed and handles it, but the sets will be a bit more spaced out. If you're paddling out on the bigger days, you'll have time to get in position.

The final few days of the outlook, around the 20th and 21st of August, see a new pulse of 7ft to 8ft swell, but the wind is variable. It's a wait-and-see, but nothing jumps out as a standout.

Best Bet: Friday afternoon, 7th of August. The 4ft southwest swell, 15-second period, and glassy conditions at Anzacs are the pick of the entire forecast. It's clean, has power, and won't be too big for most.

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.
