The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Anzacs over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, so we're gonna have to pick our moments.
The immediate outlook isn't great, with a lot of onshore and cross-shore winds messing things up. The first few days are pretty much a write-off despite some decent sized groundswell rolling in. We've got a long period SW swell building through the end of the week, with the combined energy hitting some serious numbers (2247, 2382, even 2929 and 4420 on Friday). That's a lot of power, but it'll be all chop and mess with these strong cross-onshore winds. That'll be one for the kites, not the paddlers.
We do get a little window of cleaner conditions on Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th of July, but it's small. Monday morning is clean with a light cross-offshore and a 3ft SW swell. Then Monday afternoon turns glassy with a 4ft SW groundswell from 13 seconds. This is the first real standout. It'll be small and clean, perfect for a longboard or a funboard. Tuesday the 28th has a bit more size, 4ft from the SW, but that fresh N wind, while cross-offshore, will be pretty strong, making it a bit of a battle.
Then we're back into the wind for the rest of the week. The swell stays solid, over 7ft from Thursday the 30th onwards, but that strong cross-onshore wind just kills it.
Here's the real gem: Monday the 4th of August. We've got a 4ft SW groundswell, but it's coming in on a period of 16 seconds – that's proper long-period groundswell. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNE, and the combined energy is a solid 553. The forecast is calling for very good conditions. This is the one to mark on the calendar. A clean, offshore groom on a long period SW swell at a very consistent spot like Anzacs is a beautiful thing. The crowd could be there, but it's worth the gamble.
For the rest of the time, it's a waiting game. The second week has some smaller, cleaner moments but nothing that screams at you like that Monday. Hang in there.
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.
