Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at Angourie Point.

First up, the water temp is sitting right around 68°, which is basically normal for this time of year. Nothing wild there.

The overall pattern for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a slow burn. There’s a real lack of quality swell for the first week and a half, with a lot of onshore or cross-onshore winds messing up any potential. The first standout is quite a way off, but it looks worth the wait.

For the opening days, there’s really nothing to get excited about. Thursday morning the 20th has some 5ft swell from the ESE, but it’s short period at 7 seconds and the wind is cross-off from the west. The combined energy is moderate at 251, but the score is a 2 out of 10, meaning it’s just okay. The afternoon turns to junk with onshore wind. The whole first week is basically a write-off for decent waves, with tiny, weak swell and poor wind conditions. You’re looking at a gap of about 10 days where the surf is either flat or blown out.

Now, the real action starts to build towards the end of the month. The first true standout looks to be the morning of Tuesday, September 1st. The morning is looking promising with a 4ft swell from the ENE, period of 9 seconds, and a light cross-off wind from the WNW. The combined energy is solid at 255, and the forecast is for “expect good surf conditions.” This is a nice, clean option for the more advanced surfer. The swell direction is perfect for the point, and the wind will keep it smooth.

But the absolute best on offer is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the E, with a 10-second period, giving it real push. The combined energy jumps to a strong 580, and the wind is a light cross-off from the SSE. This is the kind of day that gets the heart pumping. It’s not huge, but it’s got enough grunt to be a proper session. The wind will be clean, and the point will be running. This is definitely for the experienced crew, as 5ft at a point can feel a lot bigger. The crowds are possible here, so get in early.

The following morning, Thursday the 3rd, still has a 5ft swell from the E, but the wind is more cross-on, so it won’t be as clean as the day before.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a dud. The morning of the 1st of September is a good warm-up, but the morning of the 2nd of September is the standout. Get your gear ready.

Rusty.
