The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Angourie Point, and I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch is a tough one for our little slice of paradise. We’ve got waves, but they’re small, and the conditions are mostly ordinary, with a few moments that might get the heart beating a little faster if you’re patient.
The overall pattern is a persistent, weak ENE swell, barely pushing above 3 ft and never with any real grunt. The combined wave energy mostly sits in that weak range (68 to 101 on the scale), with a couple of brief jumps into moderate territory later on, but those come with tricky wind. The water at Angourie is sitting at 68°F, which is about average for this time of year—nothing unusual there.
For the immediate stretch, starting Saturday the 22nd, we’ve got our best early bet. Saturday morning sees a light WNW cross-off breeze at 6 mph, keeping the surface clean on a tiny 3 ft ENE swell. The period is a short 6 seconds, so the waves are a bit weak and crumbly, but it’s rideable and the wind is glassy enough to make it feel okay. If you’re desperate for a paddle, this is your window. Saturday afternoon turns to a messy cross-shore, and it’s all downhill from there.
Sunday the 23rd through to Monday the 31st is a real slog. The swell stays pathetically small—2 ft to 3 ft—and the wind is either onshore, cross-onshore, or too strong, making for poor conditions. There’s a bit of a tease on Monday morning the 24th with a clean cross-off wind, but the swell is still just 2 ft with a 7-second period, offering very ordinary, weak waves. The afternoons are almost always a write-off.
Now, I’ll call out one stand-out moment that’s worth waking up for. On Saturday the 29th, we get a glassy morning. The wind is a perfect 3 mph westerly, making the surface like a mirror. The swell is still just 3 ft from the ENE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy has climbed to 192 (moderate), so there’s a bit more push. This is the cleanest surf of the whole window, and for a point break like Angourie, that glassy condition is gold. It’s not big, but it’ll be fun and uncrowded if you get in early. Just keep your expectations low on size.
The second week drifts off into very small, weak swell and messy wind. Monday the 31st morning has a decent clean cross-off breeze with a 3 ft ENE swell and a 9-second period, and the energy is moderate (225), but the waves are still small. After that, it’s predominantly poor conditions with tiny swell, and by September 1st the period jumps to 15 seconds on a tiny 1 ft SSE swell, which is a very long-period groundswell that will likely just roll through a point break without breaking properly—not worth the paddle.
For the rest of the outlook, from September 2nd to the 6th, it’s the same story: small ENE swell around 2 ft to 3 ft, with average periods, and the wind often cross-off but the energy is weak to moderate. Nothing here screams “go.” The last day, September 6th, is just a weak 2 ft E swell with a 16 mph southerly—clean but not worth suiting up for.
Overall, Angourie Point is a consistent enough spot, but this forecast is a real flat spell. The only day I’d recommend is Saturday the 29th morning for a glassy session on small, clean waves. Otherwise, save your energy and wait for a better run.
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.
