The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for Anzacs. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get the heart pumping.
We start off with a slow grind, to be honest. The first few days are a bit of a write-off thanks to onshore winds and some hefty, messy swell. The ocean’s got a lot of energy, but the quality just isn’t there. By the time we get to Saturday the 12th, things start to look up. That morning, we’ve got a clean 6ft southwest groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined swell energy is a solid 1384, so there’s plenty of push. It’s an intermediate level break, and with that offshore flow, it’s going to be clean and lined up. This is one of the standouts.
We then have a bit of a lull through Sunday and Monday where the wind picks up and the swell dips, but keep your eyes on Wednesday the 16th. That morning, it’s glassy. Absolutely flat calm. We’re looking at a 5ft southwest groundswell, still a good 13-second period, and 1299 of combined energy. For a morning session, that’s as good as it gets – clean, with a bit of grunt.
The following week gets interesting again. By Monday the 21st, conditions look excellent for experienced surfers. We’re talking about a 7ft swell from the southwest with a 16-second period – that’s a lot of power, 2140 combined energy to be exact – and glassy conditions in the morning. This is the second standout, but it’s a big one, so it’s for the confident crew only.
Then Tuesday the 22nd finishes strong. The morning has 5ft clean swell with a cross-offshore breeze, and then the afternoon winds drop to zero with glassy conditions. If you can sneak a session then, with 4ft and clean conditions, you’ll be stoked.
Water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time. It’s a bit of a treat, but you’ll still want a decent wetsuit.
Overall, the first standout is the Saturday the 12th morning session, and the second is the Monday the 21st morning glassy session. The rest of the week has some potential, but you’ll need to pick your windows.
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.
