Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a proper look at the next couple of weeks for our little slice of the coastline.

We’ve got a bit of a rough start, to be honest. The first few days are gonna be tricky. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th see some serious size coming in, with swell building to 10ft to 15ft from the SE and ESE, but the wind is a problem – strong cross-off breezes up to 25 mph are going to chop it up and make it hard work. The wave energy is massive (1158 to 3948), but for a point break like Angourie Point, that kind of power with that wind just isn’t going to give you the classic lined-up walls you’d want. The water temp is sitting around 69°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We get a bit of a reprieve on Monday the 20th. Swell drops back to 8ft from the east, winds ease to 12-15 mph, still cross-off, and conditions are clean. The energy is still moderate (1302) but it’s a step in the right direction. Tuesday the 21st looks like the first real highlight of the period. Swell is down to a more manageable 6ft from the east, and the wind drops to a light 6 mph, cross-off. That’s going to be clean and workable. Energy is moderate (689), and it’s the kind of day where Angourie Point can really shine for the advanced crew.

After that, the middle of the week gets small. Wednesday the 22nd through Thursday the 23rd is really just small, weak swell (3ft to 4ft) with light variable winds. Not much to get excited about. The energy drops right off (90 to 256). You’d be better off waiting.

Friday the 24th sees a new pulse of SSE swell come through at 8ft, with moderate cross-off winds. The energy jumps back up (1047). It’s clean, but that wind direction isn’t ideal for the point. Could be worth a look for the more experienced.

The following weekend, Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th, we get cleaner conditions with light offshore winds from the SW, and a 5ft SSE swell. That’s a nice combo for Angourie. The energy is low but it’s clean, and it’ll be a more relaxed session. Monday 27th holds similar with light winds and 3ft swell.

Then we hit a bit of a flat spot from Tuesday 28th through to Thursday 30th. Swell hangs around 3ft to 6ft, but the winds are a bit messy or onshore at times. Not a complete write-off, but definitely a quieter period.

The real standout for the whole outlook is Saturday the 1st of August. We get a sudden jump in swell from the NE at 8ft, with clean conditions and gentle breeze. The energy is strong (1257) and the wind is cross-off. That’s the day for the experienced surfers to get on it. Sunday the 2nd drops back down to 3ft, so that Saturday is your window.

In summary, the best bet for clean, solid surf is Tuesday the 21st for a manageable session, and then Saturday the 1st of August for a punchy, powerful day. The rest is a mixed bag of small waves, strong wind, or both.

Rusty.
