Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Angourie Point over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with ya – the first ten days are a real struggle, with only tiny, weak swell and dodgy wind most of the time. But if you can wait, there’s a standout pulse of solid, long-period groundswell that could make it all worth it.

Alright, so we kick off on Wednesday 2nd September with nothing. We’re talking 2ft to 2ft SSE swell, a weak 11-second period, and combined energy sitting at just 144 – that’s weak. Wind is cross or onshore most of the time, so it’s messy and gutless. Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th are similar: tiny knee-high dribble with onshore or cross-off breezes, and energy readings dropping into the double digits (93, then 84). Saturday and Sunday are still a write-off, with swell barely reaching 1.0ft to 3ft from all sorts of wrong directions, and period as low as 4 seconds. There is a brief window on Monday 7th morning – the wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a clean 3ft SSE swell at 11 seconds and energy of 153. It’s small, but clean and surfable if you’ve got a longboard. Still, not a standout.

Tuesday 8th to Wednesday 9th stay ordinary: small SSE swell around 3ft-3ft, cross-on winds, and energy around 150. Not enough push to get excited. Thursday 10th is dead small again.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. On Friday 11th September, we get a solid punch. A 10ft SE swell rolls in with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 1473 – that’s strong wave energy. The morning glass-off with S light air makes it clean for the experienced crew. This is the serious stand-out of the whole period. The swell direction from the SE is offshore for Angourie Point, and the period isn’t super long, so the point should hold nice shape. But at 10ft, this is for experienced surfers only – beginners, stay out of the way. That Friday morning is the best on offer. The afternoon gets a cross-on wind and drops a bit in quality.

Saturday 12th September still has some size (6ft SE, energy 705), but the wind swings cross-on and then onshore, making it chunky and tricky. Sunday 13th to Thursday 17th September is a slow fade: swell drops from 5ft down to 3ft, periods shorten, and winds are mostly onshore or cross-on. The energy levels drop from 382 down to 74. There are a few clean moments on the 17th Thursday with cross-off winds and swell around 3ft, but it’s just ordinary, knee-high stuff.

Water temp is 68°F, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

So, summary: if you’ve got the patience, point your board at Friday 11th September morning – that’s the day. Everything else is a waiting game.
