Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for Angourie Point over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, and we’ve got a slow start before anything gets interesting.

The first few days are pretty grim, to be honest. We're looking at small, weak surf with onshore winds messing things up, so you can leave the board in the car for now. The water temp is sitting around 68°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing weird there.

Come Wednesday the 26th, there’s a tiny bump of energy, but it’s still pretty ordinary. The swell is small and the wind isn’t doing us any favors. You might get a grovelly one, but I wouldn't get too excited. The energy reading is minimal, around 118 to 140, which tells you how weak it is.

Keep waiting. The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Friday morning, the 28th. The wind drops right out, and it’s glassy. Clean as a whistle. The swell is still on the small side, about 3ft from the SSE, but it’s clean. That’s the first session that’s actually worth your time, a proper glassy morning with clean lines. The surf report says we should expect good surf conditions, and I’m inclined to agree, at least for a bit of a paddle.

That weekend, the 29th and 30th, the swell pushes up a bit to 5ft and 5ft, with the energy jumping to 424 and 460, which is a solid, moderate push. But the wind stays cross-off or cross, and the reports are calling it marginal. It’s not going to be a complete write-off, but the conditions will need to line up. That Saturday morning looks like the pick of the weekend, with clean, cross-off wind and that bigger swell. It’s still not a classic, but you’ll get some waves.

The following week is quiet again. There’s a day or two with surfable waves, like Monday the 31st with a glassy start, but it’s all pretty small. Then we hit a bit of a dead patch. From the 1st through to the 4th, it's mostly tiny, weak, and wind-affected. There are some long-period pulses in there, but the height is just too small to do much with.

Now, for the one to circle on the calendar. The standout of the whole window looks like it’ll be the morning of Saturday, the 5th of September. The swell is up to 4ft from the East, the wind is a clean cross-off from the SSE, and the report is calling for good surf. Energy is sitting at 204, which is moderate. It’s not a huge day, but it’s the best combo of size and clean conditions we see for a while. That’s your session.

The next day, Sunday the 6th, also has potential with a clean morning and a nice 3ft from the SE on a 11-second period. That longer period will give it some shape at the Point. It’s a solid option too.

To be honest, the second week stays pretty small and inconsistent. There’s nothing after that weekend that gets the heart racing. The swell drops away, and we’re back to tiny, wind-blown slop. It's a slow run.

So, there you have it. A slow start, a glassy window on the 28th, a marginal but bigger weekend, and then the pick of the bunch on the 5th of September. The long-range stuff is always a bit of a promise, but that morning has the look of a proper Angourie session.

This is Rusty, signing off.
