Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. We’re zoning in on Angourie Point, a classic point break that handles a south-southeast swell real nice, but it’s a picky one – it needs that swell direction just right, and it’s an advanced wave, so it’s not for everyone.

The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing wild there.

This forecast opens up with a bit of a slow patch. That first window of surf we’re looking at isn’t until Saturday the 25th of July, and to be honest, it’s not much to write home about. Swell is around 5ft but coming from the south-southeast with a moderate period of 13 seconds, and the wind is onshore from the northeast at 6 mph. It’s all a bit messy. The combined swell energy is moderate at best (770).

Sunday the 26th is when things start to clean up. Early morning, we’ve got a nice 4ft south-southeast swell with a solid 12-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the west-southwest at 3 mph. The energy is moderate (403) and the conditions are looking clean. That’s your first real window of the run. The afternoon gets a bit cross-on, so stick to the morning.

Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are small and just ordinary – 3ft to 3ft, with only 114 to 199 units of energy. Nothing to get excited about. You could get a funky little wave on Tuesday morning if the glassy wind holds up, but it’s marginal at best.

The middle of the week, from the 29th through the 30th, is a write-off. The swell drops right out – 1ft to 2ft – and the energy is pathetic (13 to 36). Not worth ducking under a wave for.

But here’s the standout.

Friday the 31st of July. Morning session. We’ve got a pulse of south-southeast swell hitting 8ft with a long 12-second period. This is solid groundswell energy, and the combined energy is reading a strong 1715. The wind is offshore from the southwest at 6 mph. That is a serious combo for Angourie Point. This is excellent for experienced surfers only – that’s too much power for a beginner. The forecast has it as excellent. Get on it if you’ve got the skills.

Saturday the 1st of August is still good, with 6ft to 6ft south-southeast swell and clean conditions with light offshore or gentle cross-offshore breezes. The energy is moderate (590 to 625). A solid second option, but Friday morning is the pick.

Sunday the 2nd is good in the morning with 5ft swell from the SSE, clean wind, and 690 energy, but the afternoon gets messy with onshore wind from the east-northeast at 9 mph. There’s a bit of a lull after that, with ordinary conditions through the 3rd and 4th.

Then, another standout pops up for the second week. Saturday the 8th of August morning. We’ve got an 8ft swell from the southeast with a 9-second period. This is a lot of power – 1139 energy – and the wind is light from the south at 6 mph, keeping it clean. That’s big, and again, it’s for experts only. The morning of Sunday the 9th also looks very good for experienced crew, with 7ft swell from the southeast, light winds, and good energy (713).

Overall, the first week has a couple of standouts: the 31st of July and 1st of August mornings. The second week is promising but less certain, with the 8th and 9th of August looking like the main targets. There are gaps of a few days with nothing at all, so pick your days wisely.
