The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow starter, but there’s a proper payoff if you’re patient.
The first week is a real write-off for Angourie Point. We’ve got barely a ripple through the early days, with that small SSE swell on Friday the 7th only offering 2 ft to 2 ft and a weak energy reading (97) that’s just not worth the paddle. The wind is messy, and the conditions are ordinary. Saturday the 8th sees a slight bump to 2 ft from the ENE, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and while the morning has a light offshore, the swell is too weak to get excited about. This continues through Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday – nothing over 4 ft, and the wind is often onshore or cross-shore, keeping the surface chopped up. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are more of the same, with the energy dropping to as low as 36 for Thursday afternoon. There’s a solid gap of about seven days with no real surf to speak of.
Now, hang onto your board. Things flip on Friday the 14th. That morning we get a proper groundswell from the SSE, pushing 6 ft with a long 13-second period. The combined energy jumps to a strong 1250, and with a light cross-offshore wind from the WSW, the point will be clean and lined up. This is a standout for confident surfers – that size is pushing into the expert zone. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-onshore, but the morning session is the one.
Saturday the 15th is still pumping. We’ve got 5 ft from the SSE on the morning with a light offshore wind from the SW, making for clean conditions and a solid 519 energy. It’s a bit smaller than Friday, but still very good.
Then we hit a bit of a lull again. Sunday the 16th through Tuesday the 18th sees the swell drop back to 4 ft to 5 ft, but the wind cranks up from the south at 19 mph, making it a messy, blown-out affair. The energy is moderate, but the quality is poor.
Now, the real gold is in the second week. Wednesday the 19th brings a building ESE swell, hitting 8 ft with 8 to 9 second periods. The energy is strong (801 to 897), and the wind is a clean cross-offshore. It’s big, but it’s doable for experienced surfers.
But the absolute highlight is the 20th and 21st of August. Thursday the 20th morning is glassy – a full glass-off with the wind from the SE at just 3 mph. The swell is 8 ft from the east at 10 seconds, with a massive 1198 energy. This is world-class, clean surf at the point, but it’s big and only for the seasoned crew. Friday the 21st morning is even better: 8 ft from the east, a 13-second period, the energy is a beastly 2235, and the wind is a glassy WSW breeze. That is the session of the forecast. The point will be firing with long, clean lines. The afternoon does get a bit onshore, so get it early.
Saturday the 22nd is still excellent, with 6 ft from the east, a 12-second period, and glassy conditions again in the morning. A perfect way to finish the run.
Key takeaway: The first week is a dud. The second week, especially the mornings of the 20th and 21st, is absolutely pumping with big, clean groundswell. This is advanced territory, but if you’ve got the skills, it’s as good as it gets.
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.
