The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for us.
The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. We’ve got a solid run of south-west groundswell on the cards, but the wind is going to be the main character for a while, and not in a good way. Things start off messy, but there are a couple of standout windows of clean conditions that are worth circling on the calendar.
The first real chance to get wet won’t be until Monday morning, the 27th of July. We’ll be looking at small, clean waves at Anzacs, with a 2.6ft swell from the SW and a 11-second period. The wind will be a light cross-offshore, which will keep the surface clean. It’s not going to be big, but it’s a start.
Tuesday morning, the 28th of July, is where it starts to get interesting. The swell jumps up to a solid 9.8ft from the SW, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 1270. The wind is light and offshore out of the north, so the faces will be clean. This is a big, powerful wave and with that size, it’s definitely for the experienced crew only. This is a standout for the bigger-wave hunters.
Now, the real jewel in the crown looks like Wednesday morning, the 29th of July. We’ve got a 7.5ft swell from the SSW riding a long 14-second period, with a strong combined energy of 3388. The wind is light offshore from the east, making for excellent, clean conditions. This is a proper groundswell, and while it’s not the biggest, the quality and the shape will be top-notch. This is your best bet for the best waves of the forecast period.
Later in the week, Thursday afternoon, the 30th of July offers a glassy session with a 4.6ft SW swell and a 13-second period. The energy is moderate (1162), and with the wind going completely glassy, it’ll be a joy to be out there, even if the swell size is a bit down.
Looking further ahead into the first week of August, the swell drops right off and the wind stays messy, so that Wednesday the 29th is your absolute high point. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
