Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, grab a coffee. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Angourie Point over the next couple of weeks. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – we’ve got a bit of a slow start with some grunty, messy swell, but there are a couple of windows where this place could be absolutely magic.

First up, Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th are a write-off for a good paddle. We’re looking at a solid 8ft to 12ft of messy SSE swell, but the wind is hammering out of the south and SSE at 15 to 21 mph, cross-off but just too much grunt in the water. The combined energy is massive (722 to 1859), but it’s just a washing machine. Not your day.

Friday the 18th is where things get interesting. The swell drops to a much more manageable 6ft from the SSE with a 9-second period, and here’s the kicker – it’s glassy, dead calm in the morning. That’s the kind of clean, lined-up point surf you dream about. The energy is moderate (443), and the water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year. If you can get out there Friday morning, that’s your standout session for the first week.

Saturday the 19th morning sees the swell fade to 3ft from the SE, still glassy, still clean but small. It’s a fun little longboard wave, but nothing to write home about. By the afternoon, the onshore kicks in and it’s done.

We then hit a real flat spell. Sunday the 20th through to Wednesday the 23rd morning is essentially a bust. The swell drops to ankle-snappers (0.7ft to 2ft) with very long periods (17-18 seconds) that won’t wrap in properly. There’s a tiny window on Monday the 21st morning – 2ft with an 18-second period and glassy conditions – but it’s so inconsistent and weak you’d be fighting for a ripple. That’s four days of pretty much nothing worth paddling for.

Wednesday the 23rd afternoon brings a new pulse: 8ft of short-period SE swell at 8 seconds, but with the wind swinging onshore from the ESE, it’s just bumpy and messy. Not worth it.

Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th morning is where we get our second real highlight. Friday the 25th morning is glassy again, with a clean 5ft E swell at 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (282), and with zero wind, the point will be clean and offering up some nice little runners. It’s not massive, but it’s quality. That’s your next best call, about a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.

After that, we run into a mixed bag of onshore winds and building E/ENE swells through to the end of the period. The swell sticks around 5ft to 7ft, but for a point break like Angourie, that onshore wind just kills the shape. The Sunday the 27th morning has a 6ft ENE swell, but it’s onshore and got a bit of grunt (815 energy). Not a recommended paddle.

Honestly, Friday the 18th morning is your absolute best bet – glassy, clean SSE groundswell at a perfect size for an advanced wave. That’s the one. Friday the 25th morning is the runner-up, promising but a little further out, so less certain. Everything else is a case of waiting for the next proper southerly to line up.
