The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you—this outlook for Angourie Point is a bit of a slow burner, but it’s got a serious pulse later on. We’ve got a long stretch of small, average conditions to start, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. The first real standout is a fair way off, and it’s a big one.
The first few days, from Tuesday 4 August onward, are pretty ordinary. Tuesday morning’s offering a tiny 3ft SE swell with a weak 8-second period and cross-off wind, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. The combined energy is a measly 117 (weak). Tuesday afternoon gets even worse. Wednesday morning is a bit cleaner with a light WSW offshore, but that 3ft E swell is still pathetic. The pattern holds through Thursday, Friday, and Saturday—nothing over 3ft, mostly ENE or SE slop, and the energy rarely breaks 100. Sunday 9 August morning sees a slight bump to 4ft E swell, but it’s marginal and the wind is messy. Sunday afternoon gets blown out with a 25 km/h onshore. Monday 10 August afternoon has a moment of glassy 3ft ENE swell, but it’s still just surfable, not memorable.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The real action kicks off Thursday 13 August morning. A solid 12ft SSE groundswell rolls in with an 11-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 2430 (strong to very strong). That’s a proper pulse. The catch? It’s big—over 8ft—so this is for experienced surfers only. The wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 25 km/h, which will keep it pretty clean. That SSE direction is spot-on as the optimum swell direction for Angourie Point. This carries through Thursday afternoon with a 13ft SSE swell (3747 energy) and Friday morning with another 13ft SSE swell (2844 energy). Friday afternoon drops slightly to 12ft, still solid. The wind stays cross-off, so the waves will have shape, but that size means it’s a heavy, expert-only affair. The period drops to 10 seconds on Friday, so it’s a bit more unruly, but still beefy.
Saturday 15 August morning is still chunky at 8ft SSE, but that’s still too big for most—combined energy of 1059 (moderate to strong). Sunday 16 August and Monday 17 August keep the size around 7ft to 8ft, but the wind picks up, with gusts up to 35 km/h, making it messy. The standout window is absolutely Thursday 13 August through to Friday 14 August. That’s the best on offer—big, raw, and powerful. For the average surfer, there’s not much to ride until then, but if you’re an expert and you can handle some serious size, that’s your call.
The water temperature is sitting at 68°F, with a -0.5°F anomaly—pretty much spot-on average for this time of year, so no need for a thick steamer.
From Tuesday 18 August onwards, the swell drops back to 7ft to 8ft, with shorter periods around 7-8 seconds, so it’s less energetic. Wednesday 19 August morning has a standout moment: 6ft SE swell with a 10-second period, combined energy of 625 (moderate), and a light WNW breeze at 5 km/h—almost glassy. That’s a clean, fun option for the more experienced, but the afternoon gets a cross-on wind that chops it up. Overall, the first week is a write-off, but the second week has that one big, powerful pulse. Hang tight, and keep an eye on the forecasts.
Rusty.

Information about the Angourie Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Angourie Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Angourie Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Angourie Point 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 (Angourie Point) 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 Angourie Point 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.
