The best time to go to Anglesea is during the warmer months, particularly from December to February, when the weather is ideal for coastal activities.


During these months, you'll experience long, sunny days and comfortable temperatures, great for enjoying Anglesea's beaches, surfing, and exploring the Great Otway National Park. The water is also at its warmest, making it enjoyable for swimming and water sports. This period aligns with the Australian summer holidays, so the town is at its most lively, with many local events and attractions in full swing.


For those who prefer a slightly quieter experience but still want good weather, the shoulder seasons of November and March offer a lovely balance. The crowds are thinner, but the weather remains pleasant enough for most outdoor activities. You can still enjoy the beaches and walking trails without the peak season bustle.


If your primary interest is surfing and you're less concerned about swimming, the autumn months of April and May can also be excellent. The water is still relatively warm from summer, and the swells can be quite consistent.
