Along the Great Ocean Road, Anglesea enjoys a breezy coastal position that generally supports good air quality, with onshore winds off Bass Strait helping ventilate the town for much of the year. The most significant seasonal risk comes each summer, December through March, when bushfire smoke from the surrounding coastal bushland and hinterland can affect the region, consistent with the broader pattern across temperate southeast Australia. Winter can bring some wood heater smoke on still nights, though less pronounced than in more enclosed inland towns. Some summer ozone may form on hot, still days. Outside these periods, air quality is consistently good.
