Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, looking at the next few weeks for our little slice of the coast. We’ve got a slow start, but there’s a real standout morning coming up that’ll make you forget about the flat spells.

Alright, the first few days are a write-off. Thursday afternoon, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are all flat or junk – tiny waves, if any, and the wind’s all wrong. Monday the 7th of September though, that’s the one to circle. We get a clean 5ft swell from the SSE with a solid 12-second period pushing in from the south-east. The combined wave energy is pumping at 545 (moderate) and the wind? Dead calm, glassy as a mirror. The water’s sitting at 69°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no shock there. This is a point break, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in beautifully, giving you long, peeling lines. Angourie Point is an advanced wave, and with that offshore wind and clean conditions, expect some serious quality. The crowds might show up, but it’s worth it.

After that, it gets messy again. Tuesday afternoon the 8th sees a 7ft push from the SSE with 549 (moderate) energy, but the wind is side-on and the conditions are only marginal. Wednesday the 9th is a no-go with cross-onshore winds messing up the 4ft swell. Then Thursday the 10th, we’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the SSE, with 922 (strong) energy, but it’s whipped up by a 16 mph cross-offshore wind. The state is clean, but at 10ft this is expert-only territory. The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s a bit short and lumpy – not the best for a point break.

Friday the 11th of September keeps the energy up with 5ft and 6ft swells from the SSE, periods of 14 and 13 seconds, and energy readings of 1203 and 1126 (very strong). The wind stays cross-offshore, keeping things clean, but the conditions are still only marginal. This is a lot of energy for a point break, and the long period might make it a bit too straight for the beach sections, but the reef will handle it.

The second week is slim pickings. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th have small, clean waves but nothing to get excited about – 4ft and 1ft respectively. Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 16th is a flat, windy mess. A tiny 1.0ft on the 14th, then 6ft on the 14th afternoon but with onshore winds. The rest is just cross-onshore chop or onshore junk. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th drop back to tiny, weak waves under 2ft.

So, the only real standout is Monday the 7th of September. Best of the whole run. If you can get out that morning, you’ll be laughing. The rest of the forecast is mostly a write-off until that little blip on the 11th, which is only for the experts.

Stay salty,
Rusty
