The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the cards for Anzacs over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, so let's get into it.
The opening stretch is pretty grim. We've got some swell on the way Monday and Tuesday, but it's getting chopped up by onshore breezes, so it's going to be a mess. Not worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a couple of days of nothing worthwhile before things start to settle down a touch.
Mid-week, around the 17th and 18th, the swell drops back a bit but the wind swings more offshore or cross-offshore, making things a little cleaner. It’s not going to be epic, but there will be some fun, clean waves for the better surfers. The swell is still primarily from the southwest, which this spot loves. The period’s hanging in there at 14 to 16 seconds, which is nice and solid. We’re looking at an average combined wave energy of around the 1200s here.
Then we hit a bit of a wall as a strong blow comes through on the 20th, and it’s back to poor surf and messy conditions. After that, we're in a bit of a lull with small, chop-riddled surf for a few days. Gaps like this are a real test of patience.
Now, let's cut to the chase. If you're looking for the standout window, it's the morning of Monday, the 28th of September. The swell is still a solid 1.6m, but the wind is light and offshore. That's the recipe for some truly clean conditions, and the report is calling it excellent for experienced surfers. The swell direction is pure southwest, right in the sweet spot, and with a 16-second period, the energy is going to be there. The combined energy is reading at 1363, which is moderate, but the quality of the wave is what’s going to make it. That morning is your best bet, no doubt.
The Tuesday after that, the 29th, still has some clean-ish surf but the wind is more cross-shore, so it won’t be as crisp. It’s a bit of a step down.
For the experienced crew, that Monday morning session is where it's at. If you're a beginner, hold off—1.6m with that power is pushing the limits, especially after a couple of weeks of junky surf.
Alright, that’s the long and short of it. I’ll be here when it cleans 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.
