The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here from Anzacs. Let’s break down what the next couple of weeks are looking like. Honestly, it starts rough – a solid stretch of messy, cross-onshore wind that’s gonna leave the surf pretty chopped up for the first seven days or so. There’s a couple of small windows where it cleans up, but the real magic is waiting for you about a week and a half out.

Right now, Saturday the 25th, we’ve got a 2.2m SW swell with a fresh 35 km/h cross-onshore wind – combined energy is around 1497 (moderate energy). It’s bumpy, lumpy, just poor. That swell builds to 2.5m in the afternoon but the wind stays cross-on and messy. Sunday is a little smaller, around 1.3m to 1.4m, but still cross-shore chop – don’t bother.

Monday the 27th, the wave height drops to 1.0m SW at 11 seconds, and we finally get a cross-off wind from the NNW – it’s clean. But it’s tiny, marginal at best. Tuesday morning has a 1.5m SW swell at 13 seconds with strong offshore wind, but the combined energy is 756 (moderate) and the wind is a strong breeze, so it’s still raw. Wednesday the 29th shows a 2.5m SW swell at 16 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell – with clean offshore wind. But the combined energy is 3090 (strong), and that’s a lot of water. This one’s for experts only, and the surf quality is still not rated great, so I’d hold off.

The standout is Monday the 3rd of August. Monday morning we’ve got 1.6m SW at 15 seconds, with a moderate offshore NE breeze at 25 km/h – clean. Afternoon is even better: 2.2m WSW at 15 seconds, light NNE cross-off wind at just 10 km/h, combined energy of 3244 (strong). This is the one. The wind is light and offshore, the swell has good period, and it’s coming from the right direction. Expect some great shaped waves, but with longer waits between sets. It’s prime for an experienced surfer.

Thursday the 6th of August is another decent call – 2.0m S swell at 16 seconds, gentle offshore breeze from the north, combined energy 2573 (strong). That’s clean and powerful, but not quite the peak of the 3rd.

After that, it fades. The 7th gets a short-period 1.6m SSE at 8 seconds with strong winds – skip it. The weekend of the 8th and 9th is small and messy, with a tiny 0.7m to 0.8m SW swell. By Sunday the 9th, there’s a light cross-off breeze and clean conditions – that’s for the patient rider on a log.

So here’s the take: don’t rush out this week. The 3rd of August is your best bet – clean, powerful SW groundswell with light offshore winds. Circle that date. Stay patient, and I’ll see you in the water.

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.
