The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a window that’s got me feeling pretty keen. The first real surf worth paddling out for is Friday morning, the 28th of August, and that’s where the focus should be.
Friday morning, 28th August is the standout. We’ve got clean, glassy conditions at Angourie Point with a light SW wind, almost no breeze. The swell is a tidy 4 ft from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (311), so there’s enough push to get you into the lineup. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is just about bang on average for this time of year, so no need for a thick steamer. This is a point break, so that longer period swell will wrap in nicely, offering some proper lines. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but it’s for advanced surfers only, and crowds can show up sometimes, so get in early.
Saturday morning, 30th August has a touch more size, with 5 ft from the SSE and a 10-second period, but the wind is a moderate cross-off from the SSE at 12 mph. The energy is strong (546), so there’s grunt, but the conditions are only marginal. It’s still surfable, but not as clean as Friday.
Monday morning, 31st August is similar, with 5 ft from the SSE and a shorter period of 8 seconds, and the same cross-off wind. The energy is still strong (473), but the shorter period means the waves might be a bit lumpier. It’s a workable option if you’re desperate.
Tuesday, 1st September morning sees the swell drop to 3 ft from the SSE, with a light cross-shore wind. The energy is moderate (272), but it’s a step down in size. The rest of the week after that pretty much fades out, with a lot of days showing poor surf conditions and small, weak swell. There’s a long gap from the 2nd of September through to the 9th of September where the surf is tiny or non-existent, with only a few very small, ordinary waves. It’s a quiet period for the area.
10th September kicks up a bit of a messy note, with a 7 ft swell from the NNE but a strong onshore wind at 19 mph. That’s expert territory size-wise, but the conditions are going to be poor. For a point break, that onshore wind will chop it up, so it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-friendly one.
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.
