The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Anzacs over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there’s a proper standout session on the horizon if you’re patient.

We start off with a bit of a dud. Wednesday the 5th is a write-off with rain showers and a strong onshore wind, so just leave the board in the shed. Thursday the 6th is still marginal, with a small 2ft SW swell and tricky cross-off winds, but it’s not worth getting wet for.

Things start to get interesting on Friday the 7th. The morning is still a bit average with a cross-shore breeze, but the *afternoon* is where it’s at. The wind drops to glassy, dead calm, and we’ve got a clean 5ft SW groundswell with a period of 15 seconds. The wave energy is pumping at (1041), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is your first real window, and it’s a beauty. If you can sneak out of work early, do it.

Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are a write-off again. Strong northerly winds, up to 25 mph, ruin the surface, even though there’s a bit of swell. The water temperature is sitting at 57°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Then we hit a rough patch. Monday the 10th sees a big jump in size – a solid 10ft SW swell – but it’s accompanied by a howling 25 mph onshore wind. The energy is massive (5828), but the conditions are poor. This is more of a kite-surfing set-up than a paddle session. Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are much the same: messy, windy, and not worth a look.

The second week opens up with some promise. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are still marginal with a 8ft SW swell and cross-onshore winds, but the energy is solid (over 2500). You’d need to be keen.

Now, the real standout for the whole forecast period is Saturday the 15th of August. The morning is a gem. We’ve got a 8ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, giving it serious power (2645). The wind is glassy and offshore from the east. This is a proper expert-level wave size (over 8ft), so it’s not for the faint-hearted, but if you’ve got the skill, the conditions are described as excellent. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

Sunday the 16th is a nice follow-up, with the swell dropping to 5ft and glassy conditions again in the morning. It’s a very good, clean session for the mid-level crew.

The last few days of the outlook, from Monday the 19th to Thursday the 20th, keep the quality going. Expect clean 5ft to 5ft SW swells with light offshore winds. The best of that bunch is Wednesday the 19th morning, with a 5ft groundswell, light offshore wind, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers.

So, the pick of the bunch is definitely Saturday the 15th morning for the big-wave hunters, and Friday the 7th afternoon for a glassy, fun-sized session. Don’t expect much before that.

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.

Anzacs is 44 km (27 miles) from Mornington. If you plan a holiday in Phillip Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mornington. Mornington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
