Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty ordinary for a proper paddle. Let's break it down.

First up, we're looking at Angourie Point. Water temp is sitting around 68°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, nothing wild there.

The next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for decent surf. From Saturday the 8th right through to about Wednesday the 12th, the wave energy is weak to moderate (92 to 378), with a lot of cross-shore and onshore wind messing things up. The swell is small, mostly between 2ft and 6ft, but the wind is from the wrong directions – SE, NNE, NNW – creating chop and ripples. You'll see a few clean windows, like Tuesday morning the 11th with a light W cross-off, but the swell is tiny at 2ft with weak energy (110). Hardly worth a paddle.

We get a little glimmer on Thursday the 13th afternoon and Friday the 14th morning. Thursday afternoon sees a 5ft SSE swell with a 9-second period and clean conditions, but the wind is a gentle cross-off. The energy jumps a bit (465). Friday morning is the best bet in the early window: clean, light offshore SW wind at 6 mph, with a 5ft SSE swell, 10-second period, and moderate energy (425). It's surfable and looks clean.

Then things get messy again until the end of the second week. There's a decent swell showing up on Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd. We're looking at a 7ft to 7ft ESE swell, with a period of 10 to 11 seconds, and strong wave energy (1155 to 1872). That's a proper groundswell. But the catch is a moderate cross-shore wind from the SE at 12-15 mph, which will put a chop on the face. For a point break like Angourie, that long-period swell (11 seconds) can be a bit straight, but it can still hold shape. The crowd is listed as "sometimes" here, so you might have a few company, but it's not a circus.

The standout session of the whole 16-day window, if you're willing to gamble on the long-range call, is Sunday the 23rd morning. That 7ft ESE swell at 11 seconds with 1155 energy is the biggest, most powerful pulse we see. But with the cross-shore wind, it's a marginal call. It won't be perfect, but it'll be the most juice on offer. Don't expect a glassy morning.

Overall, this is a tough outlook. We've got a big gap of several days with no real recommendations right at the start. The early action is weak, and the later action is windy. Keep an eye on it, but don't plan your week around it.

Rusty.
