The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the cards for Angourie Point.
Right now, the water’s sitting at 68°, which is about normal for this time of year. The surf is pretty flat and messy, so we’ll need to be patient.
The week starts off slow. Sunday the 23rd has a small 3ft swell from the ENE, but it’s a short 7-second period with a cross-shore breeze, so it’s all chop. Monday the 24th offers a glassy morning with a tiny 2ft swell from the SSE, 12-second period – that’s a long groundswell, which is good for the point. But it’s just too small.
Tuesday through Thursday are a write-off with onshore winds and weak, short-period swell. The combined energy stays under 200 (moderate at best), and the waves are poor.
Then we get a little window. Friday morning the 28th is the first real standout. Clean 3ft swell from the ENE, 8-second period, and glassy conditions with a light SW wind. The combined energy is 246 (moderate), and the report says “expect good surf conditions.” It’s small, but clean and rideable. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so get in early.
Saturday morning the 29th is another glassy morning with 3ft from the SSE, 11-second period, and combined energy of 264 (moderate). Clean and calm.
Sunday the 30th morning stays clean with 3ft from the ENE, 10-second period, and a cross-off breeze. Good for a longboard.
Monday the 31st morning is the best of the bunch. Glassy, 3ft from the SSE, 9-second period, and combined energy of 246 (moderate). This is a proper session for the advanced crew – clean, long lines.
After that, the surf drops off. From the 1st of September through to the 7th, it’s a dry spell with tiny swell (under 3ft) and mostly onshore or cross winds. The combined energy dips into the low hundreds or below 100 (weak). Nothing worth paddling out for.
The 7th of September morning has a little bump with 3ft from the SSE, 11-second period, and combined energy of 216 (moderate), but it’s just marginal.
Standout:
Friday the 28th of August morning is the one – glassy, clean, 3ft from the ENE. Monday the 31st of August morning is a close second.
Stay tuned, the forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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.
