Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anzacs over the next 16 days.
Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the start of this period is a complete write-off. We’re looking at a solid 3 to 4 days of nothing but frustration. The swell is pumping, sure, but it’s getting hammered by brutal cross-shore winds, and the whole thing is a mess of chop and lumpy conditions. It’s just not surfable. You’d be better off staying home or doing a reef-walk.
Things start to get a little more interesting from Wednesday the 15th afternoon. The wind eases right back, and we’ve got a 6ft SW swell with a decent 14-second period rolling in. It’s still a bit crinkled from the cross-shore breeze, but it’s a step in the right direction. The real spark comes on Thursday the 16th morning. The swell drops to 4ft, but the wind is cross-off, and the conditions clean up. The wave energy is just moderate (744), but the surf is clean and tidy. This is a genuine window for a few fun ones.
Now, the standout that’s got me excited is Friday the 17th, especially in the afternoon. The swell holds at 6ft from the SW with a proper 16-second period, and the wind goes glassy off the land. The wave energy is strong (1357), and the conditions are clean. For an intermediate surfer, this is the pick of the first week. The long period means the sets will be well-spaced, which makes the paddle out easier, and the waves will have proper shape. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The following week, we’ve got a bit of a lull but then another promising window. After some lumpy, onshore days, Wednesday the 23rd morning looks good. The swell is 5ft from the SW, 15 seconds, light breeze, and clean. The energy is solid (1039). Then, Thursday the 24th morning is the big one to circle. A 6ft SW swell, 17-second period, with a light offshore wind from the NE. The energy is strong (2044), and the conditions are clean. This is a proper groundswell, and it’s going to be excellent for experienced surfers. The long period might make it a bit straight at Anzacs itself, but the shape will be there. For the second week, Thursday the 24th morning is the clear winner.
Right, that’s the rundown. The early part is a write-off, but there are a couple of crackers to aim for, especially Friday the 17th afternoon and Thursday the 24th morning.

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.
