Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, checkin’ in from the coast. Right now, things are dead flat with a real poor stretch of surf ahead. The first few days of this forecast window are a write-off – Thursday 30th July through to Saturday 1st August offer nothing but tiny, weak waves with cross-off winds, and the energy readings are way down in the dumps (54 to 222). You’d be better off staying home and waxin’ your board.

We finally get a pulse of life on Sunday 2nd August. The morning’s seein’ 5ft of swell from the SE with a 9-second period, and the energy’s jumpin’ up to a solid 663. The winds are light cross-off from the SSW, so the surf at Angourie Point (Region_URL) should be clean and shapin’ up nicely. The afternoon gets even better – the swell drops a touch to 4ft, but the period stretches out to a juicy 14 seconds, energy at 783, and light cross-off SE winds. The water’s sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year. This is your standout session – the best on offer in the whole 16-day window. The longer period’s gonna give those point break walls some extra push, so make the most of it.

Monday 3rd August starts with another good one: 5ft from the SE, 11-second period, 568 energy, and a light cross-off WNW breeze. Clean, punchy waves for the early crew. But the arvo’s a different story – the wind swings onshore from the NE, and the surf quality drops to zero. Tuesday 4th is a bit of a mixed bag: a clean but small 2ft morning session, then the onshore winds trash the arvo again.

From Wednesday 5th August right through to Friday 14th August, it’s a long, grim stretch. The swell drops to ankle-biters, mostly under 2ft, with weak energy readings mostly in the double digits. You’ll see a few days with offshore or glassy conditions (like Wednesday 5th morning with a 2ft swell and a WSW offshore, or Thursday 6th morning with dead glass), but the size is just too small to even paddle out. The energy values are pathetic – 39, 57, 103 – just not worth the effort.

The only half-decent note in the second week is Saturday 8th August morning: 4ft from the SSE with a 9-second period, 280 energy, and a clean cross-off WNW breeze. It’s nothing special, but it’s the best you’ll find in that drought. After that, it’s back to tiny, ordinary conditions right through to the end of the forecast on Friday 14th August.

So here’s the call: your one real standout is Sunday 2nd August, especially the afternoon. The rest of the run is mostly a flop. Don’t expect much, but if you’re patient, that one day might just give you a memory worth keepin’.
