Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s cookin’ at Angourie Point.

The next 16 days start off with a bit of a wait. There’s a decent swell but it’s blowin’ pretty hard out of the south. The real magic is a little further out, so let’s run through it.

On Sunday the 19th of July, we got a fat 13-foot swell from the SE with a 10-second period. That’s a lot of water—energy reading 3370. Way too big for anyone but the gnarliest of chargers. The wind is a fresh SSE breeze at 35 km/h, blowin’ cross-off, so the faces are clean but it’s heavy. Water temp is 68°F, about average for this time of year.

By Monday the 20th, the swell drops to 10 feet from the E, still with a 10-second period. The wind eases a bit, down to 25 km/h in the morning, then 20 km/h in the afternoon—still cross-off. Energy is still high (1975 in the morning). Not a day for the average punter.

Tuesday the 21st is where it gets better. The swell settles to 6 feet in the morning and 6 feet in the afternoon from the E, with a 10-second period. The wind drops to a light breeze at 10 km/h, still cross-off. The energy is down to 759 and 561—much more doable. Surf is clean and should be real good. This is a solid option for experienced surfers.

The best of the window, though, is Thursday the 23rd of July. It’s a small day, but the stars align. The swell is only 3 feet from the E with an 8-second period, but the wind is WSW at 10 km/h, blowin’ straight offshore. That’s glassy, clean conditions. The energy is just 157, weak, but for a point break like Angourie, that small clean swell with offshore wind is a dream. This is the standout—gentle, lined-up waves with no chop.

From Friday the 24th through the end of the month, the surf drops right off. There are a few days with tiny swells, under 3 feet, and a mix of onshore winds. The 25th of July has a hint of a 6-foot pulse from the SSE with a short 7-second period, but the wind is light and cross-shore. It’s a bit of a nothing week.

Then, the second week shows promise. The 1st of August (Saturday) morning has a 3-foot swell from the SSE with a long 14-second period and a gentle offshore SSW breeze at 15 km/h. The energy is a moderate 288. That’s a clean, long-period groundswell—perfect for the point. The 2nd of August (Sunday) morning is also clean with a 3-foot SSE swell and a light offshore WSW wind. These are promising, but we’re a week out, so keep an eye on the forecast.

Overall, the standout is Thursday the 23rd of July for the tiny, clean, offshore conditions. The next best is the 1st of August for a long-period groundswell with light wind. Don’t expect much in between.

Rusty.
