Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright beach crew, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the line for our local stretch of coast.

Angourie Point is the main game in town, and there’s a bit of a mixed bag ahead. For the first few days, we’ve got some fun, workable waves, but nothing that’ll blow your hair back just yet. Let’s get into it.

This Friday morning, August 28th, we’ve got a clean 4 ft SSE swell with a 9-second period rolling in. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph, so the face will be tidy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 360. It’s a solid start, but nothing epic. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. Friday afternoon turns a bit marginal as the wind swings onshore, so make the most of the morning.

Saturday, August 29th, is similar – morning has clean 4 ft SSE swell (period 10s, energy 329) with a cross-off southerly breeze. Good for a session. Saturday afternoon picks up a touch more energy (400) and stays clean, but the wind bumps up to 12 mph.

Sunday the 30th sees the swell nudge up to 6 ft in the morning with 9-second period, and energy hits 481. It’s clean again but winds are moderate. This is right at the edge for beginners – 6 ft is starting to pack a punch. Monday follows with consistent 5–5 ft, but that period drops to 7–8 seconds, meaning it’ll be a bit weaker and more disorganized. Not the best for quality rides.

Now, Tuesday morning, September 1st, is a real highlight. We get a glassy, clean 3 ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, and the wind is a whisper from the west at 3 mph. Combined energy is moderate at 235. The conditions will be smooth as butter. This is the standout session for the first week, especially for longboarders or anyone wanting a relaxed, cruisy morning. The crowd factor at Angourie Point is “sometimes,” so you might have company, but with waves like that, it’s worth it.

After Tuesday afternoon, things go flat and ordinary for a long stretch. From Wednesday, September 2nd, through to Sunday, September 6th, the swell drops right away – we’re looking at 1 ft to 2 ft with weak energy (down to 46–95) and lousy onshore winds. That’s a solid 5- to 6-day gap with no worthwhile surf.

But hold on, because the second week brings a serious pulse. Monday morning, September 7th, a big 8 ft SSE swell rolls in with 9-second period, and energy is a massive 1112. That’s strong, powerful stuff. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NW at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean but heavy. This is expert territory – 8 ft is big and relentless at a point break, especially with that energy. Not for the faint-hearted.

The real standout of the whole outlook, though, is Tuesday morning, September 8th. A 6 ft SSE groundswell with a very long 15-second period drops in, and the combined energy is 1214. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW at 9 mph. For experienced surfers, this is the best of the best. That long period means deep-water lines with plenty of push, and Angourie Point loves that kind of direction and size. The swell is almost a perfect match for the optimum swell direction. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

Wednesday morning, September 9th, follows with another excellent 6 ft SSE groundswell (period 14s, energy 1468), still clean and cross-off. More quality for the crew that can handle it.

After that, the swell slowly fades through the 10th, 11th, and 12th of September, with energy dropping from 902 down to 110. The wind stays cross-off or light for the most part, so the drop-off will be gradual but noticeable.

So, if you’re looking for the best on offer: Tuesday morning, September 1st, for a glassy, small-wave cruise, and Tuesday morning, September 8th, for a proper, powerful, long-period groundswell session for the advanced crew. Everything else in between is either flat or just okay.

Stay tuned, the forecasts can always shift, but that second week has some serious potential written all over it.

Rusty.
