Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

First up, we've got a solid run of swell on the way for Anzacs. This spot is very consistent and exposed to the SW, which is exactly the direction we want. The water temp is sitting at 57°F, which is just a touch warmer than average for the time of year – nothing crazy, but a nice bonus. The wave energy through the first few days is moderate but building, and the quality is going to be there.

The standout window looks like Wednesday, July 8th, in the morning. We've got a 4ft SW groundswell with a long 19-second period, making for some proper power and shape. Winds are light off the NE, so it's going to be clean as a whistle. The energy jumps way up, so you're getting a nice punch for the size. This is the session for the experienced crew; the swell won't be too big for the average surfer, but the long period will suit the better waves here.

Tuesday, July 7th, morning is also a good look. The swell is a touch smaller at 4ft, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE and it's clean. A 17-second period keeps the quality up. Expect good, workable waves. Thursday morning, July 9th, repeats the formula with 4ft SW and a light cross-off breeze from the NNE again.

Friday, July 10th is solid, with 4ft SW swell holding in, clean cross-off winds from the N all day, and consistent energy. The whole first half of the week into Friday is a goer. Thursday afternoon, July 9th, is worth a mention too – it goes glassy with a SE breeze and 3ft of SW swell, a real rare treat. Keep an eye on the tide that afternoon.

After that, we hit a long patch of poor conditions starting Saturday, July 11th. Strong winds kick in from the NNW and blow for days. By Monday, July 13th, the swell jumps to a proper 10ft, but it's onshore and messy – that's expert-only territory, and honestly, it'll be a washing machine. That rough spell goes right through the middle of the second week. A glimmer of hope shows up on Friday, July 17th, morning, with 5ft of SW swell and a light cross-off breeze from the NNW, but it’s still a marginal call with the wind pattern.

From Saturday, July 18th, the wind howls again, but then Sunday, July 19th, morning comes in with a decent 7ft WSW swell. It’s long-period at 16 seconds, and the wind is cross-offshore at 22 mph, so it’ll be clean but windy. The combined energy is massive, so there’s a lot of power in the water, but it’s a wild one and only for the experienced. The forecast is less certain that far out, but if it lines up, it could be a raw, heavy session.

Overall, you’ve got Wednesday morning the 8th and Tuesday morning the 7th as the clear standouts. Don't sleep on that Friday the 10th, either. The rest is either blown out or too big and messy for a good paddle.

Stay safe, and keep your eyes on the horizon.

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.
