Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Angourie Point has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow burner, but there are a few sessions worth circling on the calendar.

The overall pattern starts off quiet, with a bit of a wait before any real action kicks in. The first week is mostly a tease, but things get interesting around the middle of the second week. For now, be patient.

Kicking off on Sunday the 6th of September, it’s small and a bit messy. We’ve got a weak 2ft NNE windswell pushing in with a short 7-second period and weak energy (46). A 15 mph SSE cross-off wind is blowing, but it’s just not enough juice to get excited about. Not a day to rush for.

Monday the 7th morning shows a pulse of life. Swell jumps to 6ft from the SSE with a 9-second period and moderate energy (501). Winds are a light 6 mph SSW cross-off, keeping things clean. This is a decent window for the advanced crew at the Point, but the optimum swell direction is ENE, so the SSE swell isn't a perfect match. Still, it’s the best of the early run.

Things go downhill again through the rest of the first week. Monday afternoon and Tuesday through Wednesday are a write-off with poor surf and onshore or strong cross-off winds. Thursday the 10th sees a big spike in size – 12ft from the SSE with strong energy (1838) – but with a 19 mph S cross-off, it's raw and powerful. This is expert territory, well over 8ft, and with the wind, it’s more of a challenge than a joy. The Point can handle size, but that’s a beast.

We finally get a true standout on Sunday the 13th of September. Morning glass-off! Zero wind, dead calm, with a clean 4ft SSE swell on a 9-second period (334 energy). The water temp is 69°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. For a point break like Angourie, this is the session to wait for. It won't be huge, but with those conditions, the waves will be lined up and pristine. Just be aware, crowds can sometimes be an issue here, so get there early.

Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th drop off again into small, poor conditions. Then another good window opens on Wednesday the 16th of September morning. Another glassy morning with a 3 mph N wind and a 4ft SSE swell at 10 seconds (428 energy). The conditions will be perfect again, even if the swell isn't massive.

Looking further out, Saturday the 19th of September is another promising morning. A 4ft SSE swell with a 9-second period (432 energy) and a light 6 mph W cross-off wind. Then Saturday afternoon goes glassy again with a tiny 2ft SSE groundswell at a very long 15-second period (208 energy). That long period will have real push, but at a point break, it should wrap in nicely. Good potential for a fun, mellow session.

The final days from Sunday the 20th onwards fade back to tiny, weak surf with poor winds. The 21st sees a tiny 2ft NNE windswell with onshore breeze – not worth the drive.

So, to sum it up: the real standout is Sunday the 13th morning for the glassy, clean conditions. A close second is Wednesday the 16th morning for another shot at perfection. The bigger swells around the 10th and 11th are for experts only, with gnarly winds. Don't hold your breath for the first week; the magic happens in the second.

Rusty.
