The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Anzacs. First few days are rough, but there’s some real gold if you time it right.
Thursday the 10th is a dud. You’ve got 8ft of SW groundswell, but it’s hammered by a 20 km/h onshore wind, and the energy’s pumping at 3334 – strong but messy. Skip it.
Friday the 11th morning is the real deal. Swell drops to a clean 6ft from the SW, with a long 15-second period, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm out of the W at 5 km/h. Water temp’s about average. That’s your standout: clean, powerful lines, very consistent. Saturday the 12th morning keeps the vibe with 5ft SW swell and a cross-off from the N at 5 km/h – another clean session for experienced surfers.
Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th fade fast. Swell drops to 4ft and then 2ft, with strong winds ruining Monday.
Tuesday the 15th is ugly: 8ft to 10ft of onshore slop, winds screaming from the SW at 25-30 km/h, energy up around 5756. That’s kite territory, not paddle.
Wednesday the 16th is so-so – 6ft SW, light cross-onshore, nothing exciting.
Now, Thursday the 17th morning is a beauty: 5ft SW groundswell with a cross-off from the N at 15 km/h, energy at 1048 – clean and punchy. That’s your top pick for the second week.
Friday the 18th afternoon: 10ft SW swell, but the period’s short at 9 seconds – windswell. Still, with a light cross-off from the NNW at 10 km/h and energy at 1426, it’ll be clean but jumbled. Only for the brave.
Monday the 21st afternoon is a sleeper: 6ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, and glassy conditions with a NW breeze at 5 km/h. Energy’s 1236. Crowds are only sometimes, so you might score it quiet.
Tuesday the 22nd morning: 5ft SW, 14-second period, and a clean offshore from the NNE at 20 km/h – moderate offshore and clean.
Best call of the whole run? Friday the 11th morning – glassy, long-period SW, very consistent. Thursday the 17th morning and Monday the 21st afternoon are your other top bets. Rest of the time, you’re looking at onshore chop or fading swell.
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.
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.
