The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down that same forecast in feet and miles per hour.
The first few days are a write-off. From Wednesday the 22nd through to Saturday the 26th, the wind is howling onshore and cross-shore, and the surf is a lumpy, choppy mess. Not worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 26th is the first sign of life. The swell relaxes a bit, and the wind drops. The wave energy is moderate (539) and the waves are around 5ft. It’s still a little cross-shore, so it’s marginal, but you could find a couple.
The first real standout is Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, a 4-5ft SW swell, and a 12-second period. The energy is moderate (574). The water temp is 57°F, which is about a degree warmer than average for this time of year, so nothing wild. Anzacs is a very consistent break, so the swell will be there, but it can get crowded sometimes, so be ready for company.
The next big one is Saturday the 1st of August. The morning is looking excellent – clean offshore wind, a 4-5ft SW swell, and a very long 18-second period. The energy is solid (1240). This is a powerful, groundswell-driven day, and it’s strictly for the experienced crew. The long period will make the waves powerful and a bit walled-up at the beach break.
After that, the surf gets messy again until Tuesday the 4th of August. The afternoon of that day is pumping – clean cross-offshore wind, 7ft from the SSW, and a massive 20-second period. The energy is huge (4140). That’s a serious, expert-only swell. For the average surfer, it’s going to be a challenge.
The takeaway: Tuesday the 28th of July morning and Saturday the 1st of August morning are your best bets. The 28th is cleaner and more manageable. The 1st is bigger, more powerful, and only for the experts.

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.
