Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a slow burn shaping up for the next couple of weeks at Angourie Point, but there’s some real fire in the second week if you’re patient.

The overall pattern is a quiet start, then a building pulse of SSE groundswell that really kicks in from late July into early August, bringing some proper point-break wedges. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

Right, let’s jump in. Sunday morning the 26th kicks things off with a 4 ft SSE swell, period of 12 seconds – that’s a nice groundswell with some decent energy (396). Wind is light cross-off from the west at 6 mph, so the point should be clean and peeling. The afternoon turns cross-on, though, so make the most of the morning session if you can.

Monday the 27th is smaller, dropping to 3 ft from the SSE with a shorter 9-second period (energy down to 198). Still, a light offshore breeze from the SW keeps it tidy, even if it’s not the best set waves you’ll see. By Tuesday the 28th, it’s down to 3 ft and 112 energy, but the WSW wind at 3 mph is just about glassy, so you can still get a few runners on a long board.

Wednesday through Thursday the 29th and 30th are flat and weak – we’re talking 1 ft to 2 ft, energy in the teens and twenties. Not worth paddling out for, unless you’re desperate for a swim. There’s a solid three-day gap here with no real recommendations.

But hang tight. Friday the 31st sees a return of SSE swell, 4 ft at 12 seconds, energy jumping to 329, and a clean offshore from the SW at 9 mph. That’s the first proper standout – the point will be running with long, lined-up waves. Get on it early.

Now, the true highlight is Saturday the 1st of August. We’ve got a solid 6 ft SSE swell, 10-second period, and energy roaring up to 792. The wind is offshore from the SSW at 12 mph, keeping the face smooth. This is the pick of the entire outlook – powerful, clean, and consistent sets. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for the advanced crew, it’ll be firing.

Sunday the 2nd keeps the energy high at 6 ft SSE (12-second period, 737 energy) with light cross-off winds. Still excellent, but the afternoon goes cross-shore, so morning again. Monday the 3rd drops to 5 ft, but with a glassy WNW breeze at 3 mph – that’s a magic window for clean, hollow walls.

From Tuesday the 4th onward, the swell tapers off: 4 ft to 3 ft through the middle of the week, with some messy cross-onshore afternoons. The last week is mostly poor – Thursday the 6th has a 5 ft spike but with cross-onshore wind (energy 372), which is more likely to be choppy and bumpy. Not worth the battle.

Then there’s a long quiet stretch from Friday the 7th through Sunday the 9th – tiny swell, low energy, nothing doing. But look further out: Monday the 10th of August brings a new ESE groundswell, 4 ft at 12 seconds, energy 432, and a light offshore from the SSW. It’s a promising late burst, though it’s far out so treat it as a hopeful call. The afternoon gets a little cross-on, but the morning should be clean and lined up.

So to wrap it up: the real standouts are Saturday morning the 1st of August and Friday morning the 31st of July for Angourie Point. That first big push on the 1st is the one to circle – biggest swell, cleanest wind, classic point-break action. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early for the good ones.

Rusty.
