The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next few weeks at Anzacs.
Alright, we've got a solid run of groundswell rolling in, all from the southwest, with a few real standout windows. The water temp is nothing wild, about average for this time of year, so a spring suit will be your best mate.
The first decent action kicks off Friday morning, September 11th. We've got a nice 6ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 15 seconds, so expect powerful, well-shaped lines. The combined swell energy is a strong 1229, and with glassy conditions, it's going to be clean as a whistle. This is proper for experienced surfers, though. This is a solid pick.
Friday afternoon swings onshore, so it’ll get bumpy, but Saturday morning, September 12th, is another great call. The swell is 6ft from the SW, period stretching to 16 seconds – that's a very long-period groundswell with even more energy (1402). The wind is a cross-off breeze, keeping the surface clean. Snag a morning session.
Saturday afternoon gets a bit wonky with cross-shore wind, and then Sunday, September 13th, the swell drops to 4ft and the wind cranks up to 25 km/h, so it's messy. The energy drops to 606. The rest of that week, from Monday the 14th right through to Thursday the 17th, is a write-off. The swell is either too small and weak, or gets blown out by strong onshore winds. The combined energy on Tuesday the 15th hits 2448 with an 8ft swell, but with 35 km/h onshore wind, it's a washing machine – definitely not for paddling, maybe a kite session if you're into that.
We get a bit of hope on Friday morning, September 18th. Swell is back to 4ft, but the wind is cross-off and clean. The energy is low (557), but it's rideable. The pick of the second week looks to be Saturday morning, September 19th. A 7ft WSW swell with a shorter period of 11 seconds and clean cross-off wind. The energy is strong (1736), but it's for the experienced crew.
The real standout, though, is way down the line. Monday morning, September 21st. The swell is a clean 5ft from the SW with a very long period of 15 seconds. The combined energy is 836, and a light cross-off breeze will have it looking clean. It's a great option for the crew.
Then we have a bit of a mystery. Saturday morning, September 26th, the very last day of the forecast. It's showing 5ft of SW groundswell, a long 15-second period, 868 energy, and winds are zero – absolutely glassy. It's a long way off, but that's a promise that could be a cracker.
So, for the best on offer, I'm calling Friday morning, September 11th for that clean, powerful groundswell, and the Monday morning, September 21st session looks like a ripper too. The early call for Saturday, September 26th has me frothing, but it's a long way out.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
