Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m gonna talk you through what we’ve got for Angourie Point. No other spots in the mix this run, just this classic point break on the NSW North Coast. Let’s dive in.

We’re looking at a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty lackluster—small, weak energy, and the winds just aren’t playing ball. You’ve got a few mornings where it’s clean, but the swell is tiny and weak, with the combined energy barely getting out of the double digits (74). It’s not worth paddling out for.

The first real glimmer comes on Monday morning, the 24th. It’s still only 2ft, but the wind swings offshore from the southwest, and the period jumps to 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell pulse. The energy is moderate (136), but the wave state is clean. For a point break like this, that long period will wrap in nicely and give you some long, lined-up walls. Just don’t expect any size.

Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are a write-off—onshore wind and messy conditions.

Then Thursday morning the 27th is where it starts to get interesting. Swell bumps to 4ft from the east-northeast, and we’ve got light offshore wind from the south-southwest. The energy is moderate (217) and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s a solid morning for a surfer who knows the point. Clean, lined-up waves, and the direction matches the optimum swell direction for this break. Crowds are “sometimes” here, so you might have a few others out, but it’s not a zoo.

Friday and Saturday mornings are marginal but clean—4ft from the same direction, light winds, but the energy is moderate and the quality is just okay.

Now, the standout for the whole outlook lands on Sunday the 30th. The morning session is a real gem. Swell is 5ft from the south-southeast, with a clean cross-off breeze. The combined energy jumps to 347, which is moderate-strong, and the wave state is clean. That’s a proper point break day—waves wrapping around, good shape, and not too big. But by the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the swell jumps to 8ft from the southeast with a cross-chop. That’s getting into expert-only territory, especially with the period only at 7 seconds.

The following Saturday the 5th of September is the biggest swell of the run—12ft from the south-southeast with a 9-second period. That’s massive for a point. The energy is a huge 2261 (strong to very strong), but it’s only rated as marginal due to the size and conditions. That’s strictly for experts only. The afternoon drops to 10ft, still huge. If you’re not comfortable in big, powerful surf, sit this one out.

Water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Overall, the best bet for a fun, clean, manageable session is Thursday morning the 27th, with Sunday morning the 30th as the second pick for a bit more size and energy. The big stuff on the 5th is for the heavy crew only.

Keep an eye on the sky and paddle out when it’s clean.

Rusty.
