The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real mixed bag for Angourie Point. We’ve got some windows of clean, punchy surf, but there are also some long flat spells where you’d be better off waxing the longboard and waiting. Let’s run through it.
First up, a bit of a quiet start. Thursday the 3rd is a write-off with poor surf conditions and weak 1 ft swell from the SSE, combined energy is only 93 – that’s flat. Not worth paddling out. Friday the 4th morning is a tease with clean conditions and a cross-off breeze, but again only 1 ft of swell – more of a swim than a surf.
The real interest starts kicking in from Monday the 7th. That morning, we get a glassy session with the wind dead calm – 0 mph – and a 3 ft SSE groundswell with a period of 11 seconds. Combined energy hits 135 (moderate). The water temp is 68°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing weird. It’s surfable but very ordinary, still worth a paddle if you’re keen.
Tuesday the 8th is where things get serious. Early morning we’ve got a solid 8 ft pulse from the SSE, period 8 seconds, combined energy roaring at 680 (strong). That’s well over 5 ft, so it’s not for beginners – you’ll need your wits about you. Wind is cross-off from the south at 16 mph, keeping the faces clean. The afternoon holds similar at 7 ft and 651 energy. This is a standout window for experienced surfers.
Wednesday the 9th morning is another beauty – glassy conditions, 4 ft from the SE with a period of 10 seconds (289 energy). That’s a lovely, clean, manageable size for most paddlers. Afternoon gets chopped up by a cross-on breeze, so aim for the dawn patrol.
Thursday the 10th morning is messy with light rain and 7 ft SSE swell (390 energy), but the afternoon delivers a beast: 10 ft from the SSE at 8 seconds, combined energy of 1059 (very strong). That’s only for experts – over 8 ft and with short period, it’s a washing machine. Friday the 11th morning is slightly smaller at 7 ft SE (1144 energy), also clean – another expert session. The afternoon drops to 3 ft but with a very long 16-second period (898 energy), which at a point break like Angourie will produce lined-up, grinding waves. That’s a real highlight.
From Saturday the 12th through to the end, the energy fades and the wind turns messy. Saturday morning has 5 ft SSE at 13 seconds (764 energy) but with a cross-shore breeze, so it’s lumpy. After that, it’s mostly poor conditions with onshore winds and weak swell – the 13th to the 18th are a run of flat, choppy or onshore days. Not worth chasing.
So the standout sessions are Tuesday 8th morning (8 ft, clean, strong energy), Wednesday 9th morning (4 ft, glassy), and Friday 11th afternoon (3 ft, very long period, clean). The break itself is a classic point – it handles long-period groundswell beautifully – and crowds are sometimes a factor, so you might have company at those good times. For the experts, Tuesday the 8th is the biggest and most powerful offering. For the rest of us, Friday the 11th afternoon with that long-period SE swell is the pick for quality.
Keep an eye on it – forecasts can shift. Rusty out.

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.
