Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for Angourie Point. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag ahead, but there are a couple of moments that’ll light the place up real nice. The first few days are a little average, but hold tight—there’s a wedge of proper energy due by mid-week that’s got me grinning.

We kick off on Tuesday the 8th of September with a small 1-foot easterly swell and a 10-second period, but with a fresh 19 mph southerly cross-offshore wind. The combined energy’s a weak 27, and honestly it’s poor surf. Nothing to rush for. That afternoon does jump to 7 feet SSE swell, but wind’s still cross-off and energy jumps to 562 (moderate). The conditions are described as marginal, and the swell’s a bit raw for that point.

Wednesday morning the 9th is where things start to look tasty. The wind goes dead calm—glass. Swell’s 5 feet from the SSE, 8-second period, with 350 combined energy (moderate). This is a standout moment: clean, glassy, and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the best of the near-term. The water’s sitting at 69°, bang on average for the time of year. Afternoon turns poor again with onshore wind, so make the most of that morning.

Thursday the 10th brings the biggest swell of the window: 12 feet SSE at 9 seconds, with 1771 combined energy—strong to very strong. But that’s expert territory, over 8 feet, and there’s a fresh 19 mph cross-off wind keeping it clean but heavy. It’s marginal due to the size and likely tide issues. Friday morning the 11th is still chunky at 8 feet SSE, 8 seconds, 974 energy, again cross-off wind and clean, but big and raw. Only for the experienced crew.

Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th get a bit more manageable. Saturday’s 6 feet SE, 8 seconds, but with cross-shore winds making it choppy—poor. Sunday morning though, that’s another good call: 4 feet SE, 9 seconds, with a light 6 mph cross-off breeze, 348 energy, and “expect good surf conditions.” Clean lines and easy paddling.

Monday the 14th drops right away to 2 feet, glassy in the morning but tiny. After that, we hit a real gap. From Tuesday the 15th through to Tuesday the 22nd, most of the surf is either tiny (1–5 feet) or hampered by onshore winds. There’s a moment on Wednesday the 16th that sees 7 feet SSE swell and cross-off winds again, but it’s marginal and the period’s short. Not one I’d get excited about.

Then, way out on Sunday the 20th of September, we get a glassy morning with 4 feet ENE swell, 7 seconds, 125 energy—surfable but very ordinary. Still, it’s clean. The real standout for the second week might be on Monday the 22nd: 3 feet ENE, 8 seconds, light cross-off wind, 113 energy, and it’s clean with “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Nothing huge, but if you’re itching, it’s a window.

Best on offer: Wednesday morning the 9th—glassy, 5 feet, clean. And for the brave, Thursday the 10th morning for big, clean power at 12 feet. Those are the two to circle.

Crowds at Angourie Point? Can happen, especially when it’s clean. Worth keeping an eye out if you want a quieter paddle.

Rusty.
