Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, gettin’ the local lowdown for our stretch of coast. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but we’ve got one beauty of a window to look forward to. We’ll be starting with a few days of frustrating, marginal surf before things really turn on.

We kick off on Saturday the 29th of August. It’s not much to write home about, with a cross-off breeze and a 4ft SSE swell from the south-east. The energy’s moderate at 329, but the whole setup is pretty ordinary. Sunday the 30th bumps up a bit in size, with the morning seeing 6ft of SSE swell, but still with that cross-off wind and a marginal call. The energy ticks up to 520, but it’s still not quite there.

Monday the 31st is the first day that starts to look a bit more promising. The morning has a 5ft SSE swell, a cross-off breeze, and a solid 407 energy. The call is for “good surf conditions,” but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit wonky and sectiony, not the best shape for the point.

Things then go a bit flat. From Tuesday the 1st of September right through to Monday the 7th of September, the waves are mostly small, weak, and blown out. We’re talking a week of poor to marginal conditions with onshore winds from the north-east and tiny swell. There’s a little spike on Monday the 7th afternoon with a 8ft close-out swell from the north-north-east, but it’s coming with 25 km/h cross-off wind and rain, so that’s a pass for the paddle.

Now, here’s the news you’ve been waiting for. The real standout is Wednesday the 9th of September. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Angourie Point is going to be absolutely pumping. We’ve got a solid 8ft SSE groundswell rolling in with a very long 11-second period, packing a massive 1317 combined energy. The wind is a light, clean offshore from the west-southwest, and the sky is clear. That’s the recipe for world-class, clean, powerful point waves. This is expert territory, though—at 8ft, it’s too big for beginners and will be a heavy workout for the experienced. The swell direction from the SSE is right in the sweet spot for this break, and with the wind so clean, it’s going to be an absolute dream. Crowds are a possibility here, so get there early.

The energy carries over into Thursday the 10th of September. The morning is another absolute cracker, with 8ft of SSE swell, a 10-second period, 1120 energy, and a gentle offshore breeze from the southwest. Again, this is top-tier, expert-only surfing. The wind shifts a bit stronger by the afternoon, but the morning session is the call.

Friday the 11th of September still has a good 5ft of SE swell with a 10-second period and light cross-off winds, giving us 779 energy. It’s a notch down from the earlier days, but still a very solid session.

After that, the swell fades a bit into the second week. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th see smaller, weaker waves with a cross-off wind, a less exciting way to end the run.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The entire second week of the forecast is a lot better, but the absolute standouts are Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th of September at Angourie Point. That’s the real deal. Get your board ready.

Rusty.
