The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks. The outlook starts off with a whole lot of nothing. The first few days are just chopped-up, wind-blown slop. Not worth paddling out for. We’ve got some small, weak swell, but the wind is coming from the wrong way, making it all bumpy. You’re looking at a whole lot of cross-shore junk and onshore winds that’ll just push you all over the place. It’s going to be a rough start.
There’s a brief bit of cleaner surf late Friday the 7th, but it’s small, around 4ft, and it’s still not clean enough to get excited about. The same goes for Saturday. It’s just a case of waiting it out. The swell is there, but it’s not organized.
Now, into the second week, the big swells start to roll in. On the 10th of August we see a jump to around 7ft from the southwest, and it just gets bigger from there. The 12th of August is a monster day, with waves hitting 11ft. That’s a solid, powerful groundswell, but the wind is all over it. It’s either onshore or cross-onshore, which is going to create a complete mess. This is serious size, but only for the brave, and even then, it’s going to be tough.
After those big swells pass, the conditions finally align. The standout is Friday afternoon, the 14th of August. The swell has come down to a clean 5-6ft, and the wind has died completely. It’s glassy. Perfect conditions at Anzacs. This is the one to go for.
The following Monday morning, the 17th of August, is another standout, and it’s a bit bigger. We’re looking at a solid 7ft with an 18-second period, and the wind is offshore. This is a serious, powerful swell with clean conditions. It’s a day for experts, but if you’re up for it, this could be the best session of the window.
The rest of the week drops off in size. There’s another beautiful, glassy morning on the 19th of August, but the waves are smaller, around 4-5ft. Still, with no wind, it’ll be a great, fun day.
The long-range stuff is always a bit iffy, but the signal is there for a couple of top-notch days. The 14th is the one that’s hard to ignore for sheer cleanliness, and the 17th for power and size. Don’t bother with the junk at the start, and be ready for those two great days.
Rusty, out.

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.
