Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk it through. The next week or so is a mixed bag of small scrap and a couple of smart windows. The ocean’s got some life, but you’ll be picking your moments. That first real pulse is Monday morning, with a jump to 6ft at Angourie Point (NSW) – the swell is coming from the SSE, so the point can do its thing. The energy’s solid (760), and with a light offshore wind, it’ll be clean. That’s your best bet. It’s for the advanced crew though – anything over 5ft and beginners might want to sit it out.

Don’t get too excited about the weekend before. Saturday and Sunday are flat to gutless, with tiny 1ft waves and bad directions. Sunday morning has a short period swell at 6 seconds and 3ft, but it’s just a bump. Not worth the paddle.

Monday morning is the one. Beyond the 6ft SSE swell, the period is a clean 10 seconds. It’s a point break that’s fairly consistent, and the cross-off breeze is going to make it glassy. Crowds can be around sometimes, but on a morning like that, you’ll find your spot. The afternoon turns to onshore, so get out early.

Tuesday is rough. The morning is small at 2ft, and the swell builds to 8ft by afternoon, but the wind is up at 25 km/h from the SSE and the period drops to 9 seconds. That’s gonna be a lumpy mess – better for the kites than the paddle boards. The energy is high (964), but quality is poor.

Wednesday brings a promising 6ft at 11 seconds in the morning, but the wind is cross-on from the N, so it’ll be soft and rippled. Not terrible, but not the good stuff. By the afternoon, it’s onshore and messy.

Thursday sees a serious swell – a solid 10ft with a period of 8-9 seconds. That is big and raw, way over the beginner limit and only for experts. The energy is off the charts (1339), but with a fresh SSE wind at 35 km/h, it’s going to be wild. Leave it alone unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

Next week, there’s a nice long-period groundswell pushing through on Friday the 11th – around 4ft – 4ft at 14-16 seconds. That’s a long period, which at a point break is a good thing, giving it shape and push. But it’s cross-shore winds at 20 km/h, so it’ll have a bit of chop. The energy is strong (1106), but it’s a marginal call.

Saturday the 12th is more of the same, with 5ft and a 13-second period, but showers and a cross-shore breeze keep things average. Then Monday morning the 14th is another highlight: 6ft of SSE swell with a 7-second period, but the wind is glass. That’s going to be clean and glassy, a real joy. The period is short, but the clean conditions will make up for it.

After that, the second week drifts into smaller, wind-affected conditions. There’s a little window on Saturday the 19th with 6ft but, again, average. Nothing else sparks until the end of the run. It’s a decent couple of windows, but the most reliable, good-quality call is that first Monday. Get out early.
