The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Bloody hell, looking at this stretch for Angourie Point and it’s a bit of a mixed bag, hey. We’ve got a pretty quiet start to the window, then it builds into some properly solid, clean stuff by the end. Gotta be patient.
The first few days are pretty average. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are write-offs, with onshore junk and not much size. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings see tiny 2-3ft waves with clean conditions, but there’s bugger-all energy behind them (energy values of 98 and 93). Honestly, not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate for a knee-paddle.
Then things start to get interesting. Thursday the 13th arvo see a jump to 6ft from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy starts to build (562). Friday the 14th morning is the first real highlight of the window. We’ve got 6ft of SSE swell, a 10-second period, and a clean, gentle offshore wind. That’s a proper point-break morning. The energy is solid at 643. This is the pick of the first week, no doubt.
The weekend and early next week get messy. Saturday and Sunday see the swell hold around 4-5ft, but the wind swings onshore and it gets chopped up. Then Monday the 17th through Wednesday the 19th sees a big drop in quality. The swell bumps up to 7-8ft from the SE, but it’s cross-shore and rainy, with energy climbing (864 on the Tuesday morning) but the surf’s just not clean. This is a period to sit out.
Now, for the real standout. Skip ahead to Saturday the 22nd of August into Sunday the 23rd. This is the one you’ve been waiting for. Saturday morning sees 7ft of east swell with a long 11-second period, light offshore winds, and energy readings up at 1307. Conditions are classed as excellent for experienced surfers. Sunday morning, it’s still pumping – 7ft from the east, but the period stretches right out to 12 seconds, with near-zero wind and crazy energy at 1412. That’s a long-period groundswell, so Angourie Point is going to be absolutely reeling. It’s a point break, so this long-period energy will wrap in beautifully. This is the best of the whole 16 days, but it’s still over a week away, so treat it as promising rather than locked in.
One thing to note – Angourie Point can get crowded, so if you’re heading out on the 22nd or 23rd, get in early. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
That Friday morning on the 21st is also looking decent – 6ft from the east with light winds (energy 909) – a solid backup option if you can’t wait.
So there you have it. A slow start, a clean window this Friday morning, then a proper, all-time style weekend on the 22nd and 23rd if it all comes together. Stay patient.
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.
