The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's in store for our local spot.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 57°F which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's a nice little bonus as you paddle out.
The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of blown-out or messy conditions. We've got a lot of onshore wind and strong energy, but it's all pretty rough. The real standout, the day you want to circle on the calendar, is Saturday the 12th. That morning, we've got a clean 6ft SW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north, making for clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 1800, and the 16-second period means proper groundswell lines. Then, Saturday afternoon gets even better – it goes glassy with a 5ft SW swell, and the energy is still solid at 1256. For a point break setup like Anzacs, that long period is going to wrap in beautifully with some real nice shape. Just keep in mind it can get busy.
Then, look ahead to Tuesday the 15th. That afternoon is looking like another absolute beauty. The wind drops to nothing, glassy conditions, and a solid 8ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period. The energy is on the strong side at 2668, giving you some real punch. This is a session for the experienced crew, as that size will be a handful for beginners.
After that, the forecast gets a bit messy again with strong winds, though there's a promising window on Monday the 21st. The swell is predicted to be a solid 12ft from the SW with a very long 17 to 18-second period, and the winds are light and cross-offshore. That's a massive amount of energy (over 7000), but at that size, it's strictly for experts only. It's a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it could be a special day if it lines up.
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.
