The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag for us. We've got a few promising windows, but you'll have to be patient and pick your sessions carefully. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real standout comes up on Wednesday, the 19th of August, in the morning. Angourie Point is looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 3ft swell from the ESE. The period is a long 11 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, meaning it'll wrap around the point and offer some proper shape. The combined swell energy is moderate at 330, but the wind is light and the conditions are clean. For an advanced point break, that's a solid morning.
Thursday the 20th is another good one, especially for the early session. Thursday morning has glassy conditions with a 5ft ESE swell at 8 seconds. The wind is from the SSW at 3 mph, which is glassy, and the combined energy is 273. That's a classic glass-off morning – get in the water.
The other session that's worth a look is Tuesday the 25th of August in the morning. You've got clean conditions with a 3ft SSE swell and a period of 10 seconds, with a light SSW cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is 245. It's not huge, but it's clean and lined up for the point.
Now, towards the end of the month, Wednesday the 26th of August morning has a bigger 6ft SSE swell with a period of 12 seconds, which is long period and will have some power behind it. The combined energy is a strong 969. The wind is a fresh 19 mph from the S, but it's cross-offshore, so it'll be clean. This is a stronger groundswell and a spot for experts – the energy is really up there, but the wind is fresh, so it might be a bit of a battle.
In between these windows, there are long gaps of flat, weak, or blown-out days, so don't waste your time until the conditions line up. The point is fairly consistent overall, so it won't stay quiet for long, but August is a bit patchy.
Stay salty,
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.
