Righto, grab a cuppa, ‘cause we’ve got a proper mixed bag coming our way here at Angourie Point. For the next few days, honestly, it’s pretty flat, but the second half of the month is where the real story is. The water temp is sitting right on average for the time of year at 69°, so no surprises there.
Angourie Point is our only show in town, and it’s a classic point break, so it needs the right angles. For this Saturday arvo (11th July), there’s a tiny bit of energy – about 4ft from the ESE at 11 seconds – but that NE wind is blowing straight onshore and the whole thing feels weak (combined energy of 535). Honestly, it’s barely worth paddling out.
Sunday and Monday look even worse, with tiny surf and ordinary conditions. You’re basically looking at a four or five day stretch here where there’s nothing doing. Then Tuesday and Wednesday come in with stronger southerly winds whipping up some messy, short-period windswell that’s just no good for the point.
Now, hold on to your boardies, because Thursday the 16th into the weekend is where it gets interesting – and a bit scary. We’ve got a solid pulse of southerly swell arriving. Thursday morning sees a jump to 10ft from the SSE, but with a period of only 8 seconds – that’s short-period, wind-driven stuff, and the energy is moderate to strong (1318). At that size, it’s strictly for experienced surfers, and the short period means it’ll be a bit wally and chunky. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but this is more of a challenge than a classic session.
That pulse hangs around through Friday and into Saturday. Friday the 17th still has 10ft from the SE at 10 seconds, with very strong energy (1756). By Saturday the 18th, it’s still over 8ft, but the period is barely 10 seconds. The wind stays moderate cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but raw.
The absolute standout window, and what I’d be circling on the calendar, is Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st. Monday morning gives us a clean 10ft from the ESE with a proper groundswell period of 11 seconds – now we’re talking. The combined energy is through the roof (1891), and the wind is a light cross-off from the WNW. That is excellent, experienced-surfer territory at the point. Tuesday the 21st doubles down: 8ft from the ESE, period pushing 12 seconds, and again a light cross-off (2093 energy). That’s big, powerful, and likely the best-shaped surf of the whole forecast. The swell direction is matching what Angourie likes best, and the cleaner winds will make for some proper lines.
The swell tapers down from the 22nd onwards, but it stays fun. Wednesday the 22nd is still solid at 6ft with a long 12-second period and offshore wind – that’s a 4/5 quality session. After that, we get into smaller but still clean surf right through to the end of the month.
So to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. Focus on that Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st for the best, biggest, cleanest groundswell action. It’s not for beginners – those 8ft to 10ft waves are serious, and the long period will make them powerful. But for the crew who know the point, that’s the ticket.

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.
