The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Angourie Point area.
The pattern's a bit of a mixed bag. We kick off with some solid, but messy, swell and then we have to wait it out through a long stretch of small, poor conditions before a possible small window at the end. The first few days have size, but the wind is all wrong for a clean point wave.
Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th are a write-off. We've got a solid 8ft to 10ft SE swell pushing in, with a decent amount of energy, but it's coming in with a fresh 19 to 25 mph SSE to S cross-off wind. The water's sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year, but with that wind, it's all just a big, lumpy mess. Not worth the paddle.
Sunday the 19th is the biggest of the bunch, with a 13ft ESE swell pumping in. The combined energy is high, which is a serious amount of water moving. But again, that 22 mph SSE cross-off is going to tear it up. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it's going to be a war zone. For most of us, it's a day to watch from the rocks.
Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st see the swell drop but the wind is still a problem. The size comes down to 7ft-8ft, but the wind switches to a moderate SE cross-shore, ruining any chance of a clean face. Tuesday morning has a light breeze, which is better, but the swell is still a bit lumpy.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Wednesday the 23rd of July, right through to Wednesday the 30th, the swell drops right off. We're looking at tiny 0.7ft to 4ft waves, mostly from the SSE with poor, onshore winds. A few mornings have a clean look, but there's just no energy in the water. It's a long, flat stretch.
The one real standout in this whole run is Saturday the 1st of August. Finally, the stars line up. The swell drops to a manageable 5ft to 6ft from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds. But the real winner is the wind: a light to gentle W to WSW breeze, giving us a clean cross-off. The combined energy is still solid, so there's push. This is the pick of the period. For a savvy surfer who knows the point, this could be a really fun, clean session. The crowds will be there, but for a wave like that, it's worth the company.
Before that, Thursday the 30th is a marginal call, with a 4ft SSE swell and a light NW cross-off wind in the morning, but the energy is low and the onshore is coming in the arvo.
So, the best on offer is Saturday the 1st of August. It's a good example of waiting for the right wind to match the swell. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a waiting game.
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.
