The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a slow start on the New South Wales North Coast, but there’s a big pulse of energy on the way for the end of the month that’s got me properly excited.
The first week is mostly a write-off for any decent waves. A small, weak SSE swell (274 energy) shows up Saturday the 15th with lumpy 6ft surf and a messy cross-off wind, but that’s not worth paddling out for. Sunday the 16th morning cleans up a touch with a 6ft SSE swell (317 energy) and lighter S wind, but it’s still very average. Through Monday and Tuesday the 17th-18th we’re stuck with weak, chopped-out waist-to-chest high dribble from the ESE and SE, all blown out.
Then things get really interesting. Wednesday the 19th morning serves up a glassy, clean wave at Angourie Point with a 5ft SSE groundswell (586 energy) and a period just over 11 seconds – that’s proper energy. The wind is dead calm and the surface is glassy. This is a standout window, but only for the advanced crew – it’s an exposed point with crowds sometimes, and the swell direction (SSE) is a fair angle for this break, though not its absolute optimum. Still, for clean, lined-up waves, this is your best call in the first week.
We then hit a lull. Thursday the 20th morning has a tiny 4ft SE swell (221 energy) with offshore WSW wind, clean but very weak. From Friday 21st through Tuesday 26th, it’s flat to tiny, with a mix of onshore winds and rubbish energy – barely a ripple. You could hang up the board for nearly a week.
Hold on to your leggie, though. Thursday the 27th we see a massive SSE groundswell building to 8ft (2,363 energy) with a long 13-second period. The wind is cross-off from the S at 19 mph – strong but cleaning it up. Because of those long-period lines, Angourie Point, being a point break, should handle it beautifully, but that size is expert-only. Friday the 28th turns on even bigger, with 12ft SSE swell (4,197 energy) and the same clean cross-off wind – this is massive, powerful, and only for the very skilled. Saturday the 29th morning is probably the pick of the run: 10ft SSE groundswell (2,753 energy), period holding at 12 seconds, wind easing to a gentle S breeze, and the face is still clean. It’s still big – expert territory – but it’s pumping.
After that, the swell drops back quickly to a messy 6ft on Sunday the 30th, with cross-shore winds ruining the shape.
If you’re a confident surfer, circle Wednesday the 19th morning for a clean, glassy window, but the real heavy-hitter run is Thursday 27th through Saturday 29th – just bring your big-wave board and your best reflexes.
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.
