Anzacs Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the coming swell window at Anzacs.

The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag. The first few days are messy with a fresh cross-shore wind, so the waves will be lumpy. The bigger energy is coming later, but you’ll need to be patient.

Monday the 3rd has a 4ft SW swell, but with a 22 mph cross-shore, it’s not going to be pretty. The combined energy is moderate (1075), but the onshore chop will ruin it.

Tuesday the 4th is a write-off. The swell jumps to 6ft in the morning, pushing 8ft in the afternoon, but it’s onshore and messy with a risk of thunderstorms. Not worth the paddle.

Wednesday the 5th is the first real standout. Early morning, the wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a clean 4ft SW swell with a good 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate (454), but with that glassy surface, it’ll be clean and fun. If you can get out early, you’ll be rewarded.

Thursday the 6th drops right off. The swell is weak at 2ft, and the wind is cross-shore. Nothing to get excited about.

Friday the 7th has a better pulse. The morning is a bit lumpy, but the afternoon is the real gem. Glassy conditions again, with a 4ft SW swell, a very long 15-second period, and clean high energy (1121). This is a top pick for experienced surfers, as the longer period will make the waves more powerful and lined up.

Saturday the 8th is similar in size at 4ft, and the wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean. The energy is solid (897). It’s a good option but not quite the standout of Friday.

Sunday the 9th is a write-off. The wind is blowing 25 mph, and the rain is coming in. Not worth it.

Monday the 10th brings a bigger swell – 7ft from the SW with a 17-second period – but the cross-shore wind will put a chop on it. The energy is strong (2846), but it’s not clean.

Tuesday the 11th through Thursday the 14th is a mixed run. The swell stays around 5ft to 6ft, but the wind is rarely in a good spot. There’s a lot of lumpy, cross-shore chop. The best of this stretch is Wednesday morning the 12th, with a 6ft SW swell, an offshore 16 mph breeze, and a very long 17-second period. The energy is high (1567), and it’ll be clean. That’s a good call for a mid-week session.

Saturday the 15th is a big one. An 8ft SW swell with a 20-second period and a 16 mph offshore wind. The energy is very strong (5698). This is only for experienced surfers, as 8ft is well into the big stuff. The long period will make it powerful, but at a beach break, it might be a bit too straight. Still, for the expert crew, it’s a monster.

Sunday the 16th is even bigger: 12ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-shore. The energy is huge (7723), but the size is too big for this break, and the wind will mess it up. This is more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.

Monday the 17th is a final highlight. The swell drops to 8ft, the wind is offshore, and the period is 15 seconds. The energy is strong (2615), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a solid option for the experts.

Tuesday the 18th finishes the run with a smaller 4ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-shore again, so it’s just marginal.

Best on offer: Friday 7th afternoon for the glassy, clean 4ft groundswell with plenty of energy. And for the bigger-wave crew, Saturday 15th morning is the standout for powerful, clean, solid surf.

Rusty.
