The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
So, looking at the next couple of weeks for Angourie Point, it’s a tale of two weather patterns. We’ve got some size early, but the winds are going to wreck it. Then a proper flat spell, and one clear winner at the end.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 10th has solid waves, around 12 feet, but that SSE wind at 19 mph is going to chop it up. It’s cross-off, but the energy is chaotic (1664) and it’s not coming together. Friday and Saturday drop in size, and the swell period is only 8-9 seconds, so it’s weak and lumpy. Saturday morning is the only bright spot with lighter winds and clean surf, but it’s only 5 feet, not enough to get excited about.
Then the taps get turned off. From Sunday the 13th to Wednesday the 18th, there’s almost nothing. Waves are mostly under 3 feet, winds go onshore, and the periods are tiny. It’s a proper flat spell—five or six days of nothing but knee-slappers. You might as well tune up your board for later.
Thursday the 19th brings a bit of life back. The morning has a fresh 7 feet of SSE swell with a 19 mph cross-off wind—clean but raw, and the 7-second period is too short to make it fun. The afternoon is more promising, with the period stretching to 14 seconds and the energy jumping to 1501. The wind eases but turns side-shore, so it’s not perfect, but there’s some power behind it.
The one to wait for, the standout, is Thursday the 24th. That morning is the pick. We’ve got 8 feet of SSE swell with a long 11-second period, and the wind is light and cross-off, making it glassy and clean. Energy is a strong 1474, and it’s coming from the right direction for the point. Conditions are rated excellent for experienced surfers—this is your day. It’s a bit chunky, so you’ll need your big-wave confidence. The afternoon brings rain and gusty winds, so get out early.
Friday the 25th has cleaner leftovers with the same cross-off wind, but the energy fades and the period shortens. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Angourie Point is a point break, so it loves those long-period swells—the 14-second plus sets will wrap around nicely. But those long waits between sets mean you’ll be sitting out the back for a while. And with the crowds this spot draws, especially when it’s firing, expect to share the peak on the 24th.
Water temp is around 69°, which is about average for spring, so a 3/2 wetsuit will be fine.
That’s the rundown. The 24th is your ticket. Don’t miss it.
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.
