Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty again. Let's break down the same outlook in feet and Fahrenheit.

The next 16 days are a real mixed bag. We’re looking at a lot of days with size, but the wind is going to be the story. For the most part, a steady southerly breeze is going to put a bit of a cross-off texture on the water, which isn't ideal for that classic point perfection. The water temp is sitting right on the seasonal average, so nothing unusual there.

First up, we kick off on Sunday, July 5th. Not much happening there – only 2ft of swell from the SSE with a 12-second period, and that southerly cross-off wind is going to make it pretty messy. Best to give that one a miss.

Monday, July 6th through to Thursday, July 9th sees a big jump in size, but the quality is a bit of a letdown. We're looking at a solid 10ft to 11ft of SSE/SE swell, with a moderate combined swell energy kicking around 1,579 to 2,383. The period is a short 9 to 11 seconds, so it's going to be a bit of a lumpy, wind-affected beast with that persistent southerly cross-off. This is more of a challenge for the experienced crew – definitely not one for beginners. The conditions are just marginal, and the tide could be a factor.

Now, hold onto your board shorts, because Friday, July 10th is where it gets interesting. The swell drops to a much more manageable 6ft from the SE, but the wind swings around to a light offshore from the SSW in the morning. That’s the key. The morning will see clean, glassy lines rolling in, and the combined wave energy is a solid 852, which is plenty of push for a good session. This is the standout call for the next week. Saturday the 11th starts clean again with a light offshore, but the swell is dropping to 5ft and the afternoon turns into a straight-on NNE onshore mess, so make your move early on Friday.

The following week sees a real quiet spell. From Sunday, July 12th right through to Wednesday, July 15th, the swell just completely dies. We’re talking tiny 0.5ft to 2ft slop. There’s nothing there to get excited about, just flat spells and strong winds.

Then, a pulse of new swell arrives on Thursday, July 16th. The north shore kicks up again with 7ft from the SSE, and the morning has a gentle offshore from the SW. That’s another solid window. The combined energy is 947 – decent power. Friday the 17th also starts clean with a light offshore, around 7ft. The following weekend, Saturday the 18th, brings a bigger 10ft groundswell from the SE with a long 14-second period, which is a lot of energy (2,762) but the wind goes cross-shore. That long period is fantastic for a point break like Angourie, but the size pushes it firmly into expert territory and the wind won’t be perfect. There are promising signs here for the second week, but take the long-range call with a pinch of salt.
