Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf for the next couple of weeks.

First few days are pretty flat and messy, but there’s a bit of life coming in toward the end of the week and into the weekend. The standout windows are shaping up for Saturday, August 29th, and Tuesday, September 1st. The main break is Angourie Point, a classic point break that’s fairly consistent and open to ENE swell.

Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy.

Monday, August 24th starts with a glassy morning, but the swell is only 2ft from the SSE with a 12-second period, and combined energy is weak (127). It’s surfable, but just barely. Afternoon turns ugly with a 12 mph onshore wind.

Tuesday, August 25th is a total loss. Cross-on and onshore winds with messy swell up to 4ft. No thanks.

Wednesday, August 26th shows a little life. Morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze, and 4ft of ENE swell at 7 seconds (154 energy). It’s okay. The afternoon goes glassy with the same 4ft swell, but the period is still short. Surfable, but not a standout.

Thursday, August 27th is marginal. Morning is clean with 3ft ENE swell (119 energy), but the wind is a bit strong. Afternoon has 3ft (230 energy) but it’s cross-shore and choppy.

Now, Friday, August 28th is where it gets interesting. Morning is the pick of the early days: 3ft of ENE swell with a clean, cross-offshore breeze and combined energy of 245. That’s solid. The afternoon goes onshore, so get in early.

Saturday, August 29th is the first real standout. The morning is glassy, dead calm, with 3ft of SSE swell at 10 seconds. Combined energy is 242 – moderate and punchy. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum for the point (ENE is best), but the glassy conditions will make it clean and fun. Crowds are possible, so expect a few locals. Good for all levels with this size.

Sunday, August 30th is messy with cross-shore winds and building swell up to 5ft, but the period drops to 6 seconds, making it choppy and poor.

Monday, August 31st is similar – poor.

Tuesday, September 1st is the other standout. The morning is glassy again, with 4ft of E swell at 7 seconds and combined energy of 245. The wind is light off the land, and it’s clean. The swell is short-period, but the point will handle it. Solid morning session for an intermediate. Crowds are possible.

The rest of the first week of September is mostly average. Wednesday, September 2nd is marginal, Thursday the 3rd is poor, Friday the 4th is poor.

The second week brings a spike in long-period energy. On Saturday, September 5th, we get a 1ft SSE swell with an 18-second period – very long-period groundswell. Combined energy of 285. It’s clean in the morning, but the size is tiny. Longboard or micro-swell day.

Sunday, September 6th is the best of the long-range. Morning is glassy, with 3ft of SSE swell at 13 seconds and combined energy of 406 – that’s strong energy. The swell direction isn’t perfect, but the long period will wrap in nicely. Clean conditions. Promising, but a bit uncertain this far out.

After that, it drops off. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are poor, with tiny swell and onshore winds.

So, the best windows are Saturday morning, August 29th, and Tuesday morning, September 1st. Sunday, September 6th also looks promising if you’re planning ahead.

Rusty.
