The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the surf ahead for our stretch of coast.
We’re starting off pretty quiet. The first few days are a letdown, with barely a ripple. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are write-offs—tiny, messy, onshore junk. You’re not missing a thing. There’s a real gap here until things finally start to show some life.
Monday the 7th morning is where it first gets interesting. The swell bumps up to 6ft out of the SSE with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. That’s going to groom the waves nicely at Angourie Point. The combined energy is moderate but solid (603), and the water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The point will handle the SSE swell well, though the crowd situation can pop up sometimes, so keep your eyes peeled.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is that Thursday the 17th through to Friday the 18th window. Thursday morning sees a big pulse of 10ft swell from the SSE, with a very long period of 15 seconds. The energy is massive (3879), but that long period groundswell can be a bit too straight for beach breaks—luckily, Angourie Point is a point break, and it loves that kind of direction. The wind is light and cross-off, making for clean conditions. This is big, powerful stuff—over 8ft, so it’s strictly for the experienced crew. Beginners, sit this one out.
Friday the 18th morning is the absolute pick of the whole forecast. The swell holds at 10ft, now from the SSE with a period stretching to 16 seconds. The combined energy is enormous (4664), and we’ve got light offshore wind from the WSW. That’s a dream setup for a point break: clean, lined-up, and proper groundswell. This is top-tier, expert-only surf. Expect long, grinding walls. It’s going to be a day to remember, but with that kind of size and quality, the lineup will be busy.
After that, the swell eases back but stays rideable through the weekend, with clean conditions but smaller, more manageable waves. The water stays about average temperature-wise.
So to wrap it up: the first week is a bust, but the second week fires. Monday the 7th morning is a nice warm-up, but the real gold is Friday the 18th morning. That’s the day to get the good board out and be on it early.
Rusty.

Information about the Angourie Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Angourie Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Angourie Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Angourie Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Angourie Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Angourie Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
