Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna take you through the next 16 days at Angourie Point. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some light at the end of the tunnel.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year. Nothing to write home about.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Monday the 3rd through to Sunday the 9th is mostly a struggle. We’ve got some small, weak swell, but the combo of onshore winds, short periods, and just generally poor conditions means you’re better off staying on the beach. There’s a glimmer on Wednesday morning the 5th with a light offshore and a 3ft, 10-second swell from the east, but it’s tiny. The combined energy is weak, barely pushing 121. Not worth rushing out for.

We finally get a bit of a pulse on Friday the 14th afternoon. It’s a chunky 10ft from the SSE, but with a short period of 9 seconds and a light cross-onshore breeze, it’s going to be messy. The energy is strong at 1236, but the quality is questionable. This one is for the experts only, and even then, it’s a gamble.

The real standout, and the one to circle on the calendar, is Saturday morning the 15th. We’re looking at a solid 7ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds. It’s a bit short-period, but the wind is light and variable, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is a hefty 660, so there’s plenty of power. Expect very good surf conditions. This is a heavy wave for a point break, so it’s definitely for advanced surfers only. Over 8ft is for experts, and this is right on the edge. Paddling out might be a mission with the size, but the sets will be well-defined. It’s a point break, so it should handle the size better than a beachie. Crowds are a possibility, it’s a classic spot.

After that, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Tuesday morning the 18th looks promising again with a 3ft east swell, 10-second period, and a clean offshore from the SW. The energy is moderate at 260. Good surf conditions are expected. A much more manageable size for a broader range of surfers.

So, bottom line: the first week and a half is a bust. The only real standout that’s worth the hype is Saturday the 15th morning for the big-wave crew. Tuesday the 18th is a good, solid option for the rest of us. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, that’s the call.

Rusty.
