Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming for Angourie Point. It’s a classic point break, pretty exposed, and it needs that ENE to get its best. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but things come alive later on.

Right off the bat, Monday the 31st is a write-off – small 3.6ft SSE swell, cross-shore wind, messy. Not worth paddling out.

Then there’s a quiet run from Tuesday the 1st of September right through to Monday the 7th. We’re looking at mostly tiny surf, under 3ft, with only a few fleeting windows of clean conditions. Tuesday morning the 1st has that glassy 2.6ft SSE groundswell with a 9-second period, and the water’s sitting at 68.0°. That’s a touch cooler than average for this time of year (anomaly -0.9°), but not a big deal. It’s clean, but the energy is weak (223). Wednesday morning the 2nd is a little bigger at 2.0ft with a nice 11-second period and cross-offshore wind, but it’s still very small. Overall, a long gap of nothing special.

Now, the action starts to build from Tuesday the 8th. Tuesday morning sees a 4.6ft NE swell with a 7-second period and clean offshore WSW wind. The combined energy is still only moderate (198), but it’s surfable. Tuesday afternoon jumps to 5.2ft NNE, but the wind is stronger and it’s not great. Then Wednesday the 9th afternoon – hold onto your board. A solid 11.5ft SSE groundswell (11-second period) rolls in, with a very strong combined energy of 3208 bounce and clean cross-offshore wind. That’s expert territory – way too much for beginners.

Thursday the 10th is the standout. Morning sees 14.8ft SSE swell with a long 12-second period, wind clean and cross-offshore, and the energy is pumping at 5328. That is serious groundswell at a point break – long, waiting sets, proper power. It’s for experienced surfers only. The afternoon stays big at 13.1ft with the same clean conditions. Friday the 11th keeps it going with 13.1ft SE swell (10-second period) and cross-offshore breeze, energy still huge (3201 morning, 2749 afternoon). Another big day for the crew who know what they’re doing.

By Saturday the 12th, the swell drops to a still-chunky 9.8ft ESE (9-second period) and the wind is cross-offshore and light – a bit more manageable for strong intermediates if they’re careful. The energy is moderate-to-strong (1372). That morning session looks the pick for those not wanting to get slammed. Sunday the 13th morning has a smaller 5.9ft ESE swell with glassy conditions – clean and inviting, with moderate energy (459). A good option if the big stuff has you spooked.

From Monday the 14th onward, it fades fast into small, unremarkable surf with cross or onshore winds and weak energy. Not much to get excited about.

If I had to pick the absolute best: Thursday the 10th morning at Angourie Point. That 14.8ft SSE groundswell with a 12-second period, clean cross-offshore wind, and insane energy (5328) – that’s a big, powerful groundswell session for the hardcore crew. It’s going to be thick and lined up. The second shout is Saturday the 12th morning – still big (9.8ft) but a little more forgiving, with clean conditions and a 9-second period. Both are for experienced surfers only. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so expect company on the peak.

Stay safe out there.
