The Lowdown

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

Alright, it’s gonna be a bit of a wait for any decent surf around here. For the first few days, we’re looking at messy, onshore junk and wind that’s just not playing ball. The real story starts to build from the end of the first week, but we’ve got a long slog to get there.

Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th are a write-off. That’s a solid couple of days of poor surf and strong winds. Thursday the 6th isn’t much better thanks to a cross-shore chop. We start to see a glimmer on Friday the 7th afternoon with a 4ft SW swell and a 15-second period, but it’s still cross-on and only marginal. Saturday the 8th has some clean conditions with a cross-off wind, but the swell is just a bit average – still 4ft from the SW with a 16-second period, but it’s only a marginal call.

The biggest trouble hits Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th. Sunday is blown out with strong winds, and Monday sees a 12ft SW swell (combined energy of 3382) but with a fresh cross-onshore wind making it lumpy and messy. By Monday afternoon, the swell is still 12ft but the wind is cross-shore. That’s too big for this break, and it’s a setup for experts only if they’re keen on a challenge.

Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are still big and clean with cross-off winds, but again, we’re talking 8ft to 15ft swells (combined energy of 2570 up to 13073). That’s massive, serious wave energy. For the average punter, it’s a back-off. Thursday the 13th stays in that same over-10ft range, though clean.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The standout window is going to be Saturday the 15th. That morning you’ve got a clean 4ft SW swell with a 14-second period, light cross-off breeze. But the call of the day is Saturday afternoon. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a clean 4ft SW swell and a 15-second period (combined energy of 888). That’s the sweet spot. That’s the one you want to be in the water for. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no surprises there.

The following week sees a bit of a drop-off. Sunday the 16th is clean but smaller, and Monday the 17th gets blown out again. The real highlight in the second week is Wednesday the 19th morning. A 6ft SW swell with a 14-second period, light cross-off wind, and a score for experienced surfers. That’s a solid, clean wave but it’s got some push. It’s a good one for the crew who can handle it.

So, the best bet is clear: Saturday the 15th afternoon. Glassy, head-high sets, clean lines. That’s your day. The Wednesday the 19th morning is a solid follow-up for the more experienced. The rest is a mix of wait and see.

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.
