The Lowdown
Righto, grab a coffee. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Angourie Point over the next couple of weeks. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – we’ve got a bit of a slow start with some grunty, messy swell, but there are a couple of windows where this place could be absolutely magic.
First up, Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th are a write-off for a good paddle. We’re looking at a solid 8ft to 12ft of messy SSE swell, but the wind is hammering out of the south and SSE at 15 to 21 mph, cross-off but just too much grunt in the water. The combined energy is massive (722 to 1859), but it’s just a washing machine. Not your day.
Friday the 18th is where things get interesting. The swell drops to a much more manageable 6ft from the SSE with a 9-second period, and here’s the kicker – it’s glassy, dead calm in the morning. That’s the kind of clean, lined-up point surf you dream about. The energy is moderate (443), and the water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year. If you can get out there Friday morning, that’s your standout session for the first week.
Saturday the 19th morning sees the swell fade to 3ft from the SE, still glassy, still clean but small. It’s a fun little longboard wave, but nothing to write home about. By the afternoon, the onshore kicks in and it’s done.
We then hit a real flat spell. Sunday the 20th through to Wednesday the 23rd morning is essentially a bust. The swell drops to ankle-snappers (0.7ft to 2ft) with very long periods (17-18 seconds) that won’t wrap in properly. There’s a tiny window on Monday the 21st morning – 2ft with an 18-second period and glassy conditions – but it’s so inconsistent and weak you’d be fighting for a ripple. That’s four days of pretty much nothing worth paddling for.
Wednesday the 23rd afternoon brings a new pulse: 8ft of short-period SE swell at 8 seconds, but with the wind swinging onshore from the ESE, it’s just bumpy and messy. Not worth it.
Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th morning is where we get our second real highlight. Friday the 25th morning is glassy again, with a clean 5ft E swell at 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (282), and with zero wind, the point will be clean and offering up some nice little runners. It’s not massive, but it’s quality. That’s your next best call, about a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.
After that, we run into a mixed bag of onshore winds and building E/ENE swells through to the end of the period. The swell sticks around 5ft to 7ft, but for a point break like Angourie, that onshore wind just kills the shape. The Sunday the 27th morning has a 6ft ENE swell, but it’s onshore and got a bit of grunt (815 energy). Not a recommended paddle.
Honestly, Friday the 18th morning is your absolute best bet – glassy, clean SSE groundswell at a perfect size for an advanced wave. That’s the one. Friday the 25th morning is the runner-up, promising but a little further out, so less certain. Everything else is a case of waiting for the next proper southerly to line up.

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.
