The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Anzacs.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a rough start. The first few days are a write-off, with strong winds and messy conditions. It’s not until the 1st of August that we start seeing something worth paddling out for, but even then, it’s a slow build. The real standout is shaping up for the 5th of August, with some excellent conditions for those who know what they’re doing.

The forecast kicks off on Monday the 27th of July, but honestly, forget it. A 25 km/h cross-offshore wind and a combined wave energy of just 315 make for a marginal session at best. Tuesday the 28th is worse – a 45 km/h wind and poor surf conditions, so don't bother. Wednesday the 29th sees a big jump in swell size, hitting 12 ft from the SW with a 16-second period, but the wind is howling onshore at 50 km/h, so the wave energy is a massive 6029, but it’s just a mess. Thursday the 30th is still blown out. Friday the 31st is still a no-go.

Alright, Saturday the 1st of August is where we get a glimmer. The morning is clean, with a light breeze and a 2 ft SW swell, but with a super long 18-second period. The energy is 446, so it’s weak, but it’s clean. The afternoon sees the swell pick up to 4 ft with a 20-second period, and the energy jumps to 1351. The wind is light, but it’s a cross-shore, so the waves might be a bit criss-crossy. Not a classic, but a session to be had.

Sunday the 2nd is a write-off again with strong winds, and Monday the 3rd is onshore, even with a 7 ft SW swell.

Now, Tuesday the 4th of August is a beauty. The morning is glassy with zero wind, and the energy is a moderate 597 from a 4 ft SW swell. The afternoon is glassy too, with a bit more energy at 757. This is a great time to get out there and score some clean, albeit small, lines.

Wednesday the 5th of August is the true standout. The morning is a treat. We’ve got a 5 ft SW swell with a 19-second period, light offshore winds from the NE, and a combined wave energy of 1805. The water temp is about 57°, which is normal for this time of year. This is excellent for experienced surfers, with the long period groundswell making for some proper, powerful waves. The crowd factor is "sometimes", so you might have some company, but it’s worth it. This is the best on offer.

Thursday the 6th is still decent with a 4 ft SW swell and clean conditions, but the energy drops off. After that, the swell is small and inconsistent for the rest of the forecast period, with the wind becoming a factor again. The 10th of August sees a huge 10 ft SW swell from a storm, but with a 25 km/h cross-onshore wind, it’s just a choppy, lumpy mess. That’s for the kite surfers, not paddle surfers.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is largely a loss. The 4th and 5th of August are your best bets, with the 5th being the absolute standout. After that, it’s a slow fade.

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.
