The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Anzacs. The whole 16-day stretch starts pretty average, but there’s a solid window of clean swell coming through if you’re patient.
The first few days are a write-off, honestly. On Tuesday the 14th, we’ve got a strong 10ft SW swell with a 16-second period, but it’s being smashed by 25 mph cross-onshore wind. The water’s sitting at 57°F – about normal for this time of year – but the surf is just ugly. That’s 4084 units of combined energy, but it’s all messy. Wednesday the 15th drops to 7ft, but the wind is still cross-shore and choppy, so it’s not worth paddling out for.
Thursday the 16th is a bit of a tease. The swell drops to 6ft from the SW, period 15 seconds, and the wind swings straight onshore but only 3 mph. The combined energy is still beefy at 1308, but the forecast says it’s marginal – probably a tide issue making it fat.
Friday the 17th is the real standout. Anzacs gets a clean 5ft SW groundswell, 16-second period, and light NNW cross-offshore wind at 6 mph. The combined energy is 1340, and it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your best wave of the week – clean, punchy, and with enough power to push you down the line. Afternoon gets a bit cross-on, but the morning is money.
Saturday the 18th keeps it going: 5ft SW, 14 seconds, and glassy conditions in the afternoon with a light ESE breeze. Combined energy at 813. It’s smaller but still good fun, especially if you want a longer session without the grunt of Friday.
After that, Sunday the 19th through the rest of the run drops off. Swell tails down to under 3ft, and while the wind stays clean most days, the energy is low – under 300 units for most of the second week. There’s a bit of a bump on Tuesday the 22nd with 3ft SW and clean cross-off wind, but it’s really just small waves. From Wednesday the 23rd onward, it’s mostly poor surf conditions with strong winds and tiny swell.
So bottom line: Friday the 17th morning is your only real standout. If you can get out then, you’ll score. After that, it’s a long gap of small or messy surf until the end of the run.

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.
