The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Anzacs is a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of average to poor conditions and just a couple of windows that’ll get the blood pumping. The water temp is sitting pretty much where you’d expect for this time of year, so no freak out there.

We start off with a rough patch. Tuesday the 8th sees a small, clean-ish 3 ft SW swell rolling in, but it’s cross-on and choppy (combined energy 1074). That swell builds to 5 ft by the afternoon, but it’s onshore and just not worth it. Wednesday and Thursday the 9th and 10th are write-offs – strong onshore winds, 10 ft swell that’s way too big and messy (combined energy up to 8973 on Thursday morning). That’s expert-only territory at best, and even then, it’s blown out.

Friday the 11th is a bit better, with the swell dropping to 5 ft and the wind easing to a light onshore. It’s still marginal, but you’ll get a wave if you’re desperate. The real standout comes on Saturday the 12th. Morning sees a 6 ft SW swell (16 sec period) with a clean cross-offshore breeze (combined energy 1384). The file says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers” – that’s a solid call. Then the afternoon goes glassy, with a 5 ft SW swell (15 sec) and no wind at all (combined energy 988). That’s your best session of the week. Clean, lined-up waves for the experienced crew.

Sunday the 13th drops off quickly, with a smaller 4 ft swell and a fresh cross-offshore wind making it hard to get a good one. Monday the 14th is a complete write-off with rain and strong winds. Tuesday the 15th sees a 6 ft onshore swell, but it’s messy. Wednesday the 16th is similar, with a choppy cross-on setup. Thursday the 17th has a 5 ft cross-shore swell, but it’s lumpy. Friday the 18th is tiny and clean, but not worth paddling out for.

Now, here’s the second standout – and it’s a long-range one, so keep an eye on the forecasts. Saturday the 19th of September morning sees a 10 ft SW swell (16 sec) with a clean cross-offshore breeze (combined energy 4701). The file calls it “marginal,” but for a spot that’s exposed to SW, that’s a big, clean, powerful swell. It’s only for experts, but if you’ve got the skills, that’s a session to remember. Sunday the 20th is blown out by a near gale, so don’t get your hopes up for the weekend after that.

Monday the 21st afternoon goes glassy again with a 3 ft SW swell (13 sec) – that’ll be a fun, clean little wave for the beginners or for a longboard (combined energy 567). The rest of the period is small and cross-offshore, but nothing to get excited about.

So, the pick of the fortnight is Saturday the 12th, with Saturday the 19th as a promising, but less certain, second option for the brave.

Rusty.

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.
