The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's coming our way for Anzacs.
First up, the water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there to worry about.
Honestly, the next few days look a bit average. Wednesday and Thursday are a write-off with messy, cross-shore winds and a lumpy sea state. The swell is there, around 6 to 7 feet from the SW with a long 14-15 second period, but the wind just kills it. The wave energy is strong (over 1400), but it's not doing us any favours.
The standout window is the morning of Friday the 17th. That's your best bet. We're looking at a clean 5 feet SW groundswell, with a very long 16 second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The wave energy is still substantial (1281), and this is the only session that gets a decent score for quality. That long period will make for some proper lines, but it might be a bit tricky at a beach break – it'll be better for those with a bit of experience. The afternoon is still okay, with lighter winds, but the morning is the pick.
The weekend holds some promise too. Saturday morning the 18th will have a clean 5 feet SW swell, cross-off winds, and a nice energy reading (886). The afternoon gets even better with glassy conditions and a small 4 feet swell. It'll be smaller, but clean as a whistle.
After that, the surf drops off significantly through the middle of the next week. The 19th to the 22nd of July are small, with the swell dropping below 3 feet and the energy reading falling into the low hundreds. The wind is clean, but there just isn't enough push. The 23rd and 24th see a bump in size, but it comes with strong onshore winds and a choppy mess, so that's a hard pass.
Further out, there's a glimmer on the 29th of July, with a clean 2 feet cross-off swell and a very long period, but it's a long way off and the size is tiny. Not something to get excited about just yet.
All in all, if you're looking for a wave, be on the water early Friday the 17th. That's the one.
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.
