Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here, lookin' at the next couple of weeks at Angourie Point. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but we've got some real solid moments to look forward to if you're patient.

The early part of the week is a bit average. Monday the 20th sees a chunky 8 ft swell from the ESE, with a lot of power behind it, but the wind is a cross-off from the SSE, so it's clean but the quality is only marginal. This is a big, powerful swell, so it's really for the experienced crew only. The water temp is 68°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

Tuesday the 21st drops a bit to 6 ft from the east, still with a light cross-off wind, making for clean conditions. Wave energy is still strong. Wednesday morning the 22nd gets better, with a 5 ft easterly swell and a light offshore from the WNW. That's a nice combo for a point break, clean and lined up. But the arvo turns to rubbish with onshore NNE winds.

Thursday the 23rd morning is your first real standout. It's not huge, 4 ft from the east, but we've got a light offshore from the WSW. Clean, open faces at Angourie Point. The energy is moderate. A very solid session.

Now, the real magic happens Saturday the 25th. We've got a long period groundswell (16 seconds!) coming from the SSE, pushing 4 ft of swell. The wave energy is huge. A light offshore from the WNW in the morning makes for absolutely world-class conditions. This is the best on offer. Long period swells like this can be a bit demanding on a beach break, but at a point like Angourie, it's a dream – long, clean lines, and the paddle out will be easy between sets. It's a day for the experienced surfer.

Sunday the 26th morning still has a decent 3 ft from the SSE with a 14-second period and a light offshore from the SW. It's still good, but the energy is dropping.

The following week is a lot quieter. From Monday the 27th through to the end of the month, we're looking at small, weak swells, mostly under 3 ft, with poor winds and onshore conditions. It's a bit of a flat spell. There's a tiny window on Thursday the 30th morning with a 4 ft SSE swell and a light offshore, but it's short-lived.

Looking way out to Tuesday the 4th of August, we get a solid pulse of 10 ft from the SSE. That's a big, powerful swell with a short period of 8 seconds. This is a heavy, tricky swell suitable for experts only. The cross-off wind from the south keeps it clean, but it’s a beast. The Tuesday afternoon is even bigger and it's an excellent surf condition, but again, only for the very experienced.

So, to sum it up: the best windows are Thursday the 23rd morning for a clean, fun session, and Saturday the 25th morning for the real standout – a long period groundswell with offshore winds. That's your session. The rest of the week is a write-off, but the first week of August brings a big, powerful swell that will be a spectacle for the experts.

Rusty.
