Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s brewing for Angourie Point. I’ve got to be honest – this 16-day window starts off slow, with a bunch of flat, messy days that’ll keep you on the sand for a while.

We kick off on Wednesday the 2nd of September with barely any swell – about 2ft of SSE groundswell at 11 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore and the wave energy’s only moderate (144). The water temperature is 68°, right on average for this time of year. Not worth suiting up. That pattern holds through Saturday the 5th – knee‑high slop, short periods, and crummy wind, with wave energy as low as 19 on Saturday morning. Sunday the 6th morning teases a bit: 2ft, cross-off breeze from SSE, clean lines, but still only ordinary surf.

Heading into the second week, things stay stubborn. Monday the 7th morning has 3ft at 10 seconds and moderate energy (157), but the wind is light cross-on – still a pass. There are a few days where the wind cleans up (like Wednesday the 9th afternoon and all of Thursday the 10th with fresh cross-off breezes), but the swell is tiny – 3ft down to 1ft – and the wave comment keeps calling it poor. Even with a long 17‑second groundswell hitting Thursday afternoon (energy 132), it’s only 1ft – not enough to do anything with.

The one true standout comes on Saturday the 12th of September. Saturday morning, 3ft of SSE swell at 11 seconds, glassy clean with a slight air from the south (cross-off). Wave energy is moderate (241), and the comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s your window – small but clean, with the swell direction working okay for this point (optimum is ENE, but SSE still delivers here). Crowds are *sometimes* an issue at Angourie Point, so you might see a few locals. After the morning, the wind swings onshore and it gets choppy, so be on it early.

After Saturday, it’s back to ordinary. Sunday the 13th through to Wednesday the 16th sees onshore winds, short periods, and generally grotty conditions. Then, way out on Thursday the 17th of September, there’s a pulse of bigger swell – 6ft to 7ft from the NE at 7‑8 seconds, with strong energy (657 on Thursday morning). That’s over 5ft, so it’s into expert territory, and with short period and onshore wind, the setup looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Not our jam.

Bottom line: Saturday the 12th morning is the pick of the litter. It’s small but clean, and the only time this point really offers anything decent. The rest of the 16 days is a long stretch of poor-to-marginal conditions. Stay hopeful – forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
