Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anzacs over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on the cards for Anzacs.
Right now, it's a write-off. We've got a proper strong south-west groundswell hitting on Monday, but the wind is howling from the north-west at 25 mph, creating a messy cross-chop. The water's sitting at 57°, which is pretty much average for this time of year. The swell energy is massive (4092), but with conditions like that, it's a no-go. Tuesday is the same story – big swell, but strong cross-onshore winds keep it ugly.
We have to wait until Wednesday, the 15th, for things to start calming down. The swell drops to 7 ft from the south-west, but the wind is still a moderate cross-shore, making for a marginal, choppy day. It's not worth getting excited about.
Thursday, the 16th, is a step in the right direction. The swell is still around 6 ft, but the wind goes light and variable, with a bit of a cross-onshore touch. The energy is moderate (1326). It's still a bit marginal, but the clean-up is starting.
The standout of the whole forecast is Friday, the 17th, and Saturday, the 18th. Friday morning sees a 5 ft south-west swell with a nice 16-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. By Friday afternoon, it goes glassy – zero wind, clean 6 ft waves. The swell energy is strong (1922). This is the best the window gets. Saturday holds onto that quality with a 4 ft south-west swell and clean conditions under cross-offshore breezes (energy 736). It’s a great weekend for an intermediate surfer. The crowds are a thing here sometimes, so don't expect a lonely peak.
After that, the surf tapers off. Sunday, the 19th, has smaller 3 ft clean waves, and Monday, the 20th, sees a pulse of long-period (16s) 3 ft swell, but it's a bit marginal. The second week kicks off with a bit of a lull – Tuesday and Wednesday the 23rd are small and weak. Then, a new pulse of long-period swell arrives on Friday, the 24th. That 4 ft, 18-second groundswell (energy 1068) with clean conditions looks excellent for experienced surfers, though it's a long way out. The following weekend (25th-26th) has smaller, clean waves in the morning, but the afternoons get a bit of a chop.
If you're looking for the best bet, it's this Friday and Saturday. The rest of the run has some promising but less certain options in the second week.

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.
