Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anzacs over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down Anzacs for the next two weeks. It's a mixed bag, with some nasty conditions early, but a couple of real gems if you time it right.
Right now, Monday and Tuesday, July 13th and 14th, are a total loss. We have a huge SW groundswell running at 10 feet, with a long period of 15 to 16 seconds – that's a lot of energy (3517 to 4055) – but the wind is screaming from the NW at 25 to 28 mph, shredding the surface into a cross-shore chop. Just forget it.
Wednesday the 15th is still rough, with the swell dropping to 7 feet but the wind staying messy. Then things flip on Thursday morning the 16th. The swell settles to a clean 5 feet from the SW, with a 14-second period and a light, cross-offshore breeze from the north at 6 mph. The energy is still moderate (1092), and the water temp is about 57° – pretty normal for this time of year. This is a solid window for experienced surfers, with excellent conditions. Friday the 17th is even better: the morning offers clean 6 feet of SW groundswell (1456 energy) with light northerly cross-off winds, but the real standout is Friday afternoon. You get 5 feet of SW groundswell at 16 seconds, and the wind goes totally glassy – dead calm. That is the session to aim for in the first week. Perfect lines, long-period power, and not a breath of wind.
Saturday the 18th stays clean, with the swell dropping to 4 to 4 feet and glassy conditions again in the afternoon. Then it goes small. Sunday the 19th through Wednesday the 22nd are weak, with swell under 4 feet and mostly average conditions, though Wednesday morning the 22nd has a tiny, clean 3-foot bump with a gentle offshore from the NE – surfable but small.
Looking further out, Friday the 24th of July brings a new pulse: a 5-foot SW swell with a very long 18-second period and moderate energy (1517). The wind is cross-offshore from the NNW at 15 mph, so it’ll be clean. This is a promising, long-range standout, but it’s a week and a half away, so don't plan your life around it yet. That long period might make it a bit too straight for the beach break, but it’ll have serious grunt. The following Monday the 27th keeps that 6-foot SW groundswell going, though the wind picks up. Then Tuesday the 28th sees a spike back up to 10 feet from the SW, but the period drops to 10 seconds – a shorter-period, choppier energy (2199) with cross-off winds. That one’s for the big-wave experts only.
So, bottom line: the clear winners are Friday afternoon the 17th and Thursday morning the 16th for the best combo of clean, glassy or light offshore wind with that solid SW groundswell. That long-range pulse on the 24th is worth a look, but it’s a gamble.
Stay stoked, and I’ll see you out there.

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.
