The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Angourie Point.
Right now, the forecast doesn’t look too flash for the next few days. We’ve got small, weak swell and a lot of cross‑shore or onshore wind messing things up. Through Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th, the waves are tiny – around 2ft to 3ft – and the wind’s not helping. The combined swell energy is low (63 to 80) on Sunday, and while Monday morning goes glassy with a light WSW breeze, the swell is only 2ft from the SSE with a period of 12 seconds. That’s a long‑period groundswell for a point break, which can be good for shape, but it’s just too small to get excited about. The water temp is 68°F, right on average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are still pretty ordinary. Swell bumps up a touch – 3ft to 4ft – but the wind is onshore or cross‑onshore, and the period is short (7 to 8 seconds). The energy climbs to 204 on Tuesday afternoon, but it’s poor surf conditions. Wednesday morning has a clean cross‑offshore breeze from the WNW, but the swell is only 3ft with a short period, so it’s just surfable, not good.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are more of the same. The swell stays around 3ft to 4ft, mostly from the ENE, with a period of 8 to 10 seconds. The energy jumps to 251 on Thursday afternoon and 315 on Friday afternoon, but the wind is cross‑on or onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.
Saturday the 29th is marginal. Morning has a 3ft SSE swell with a 11‑second period, and a cross‑offshore S wind at 12 mph. The energy is 322, which is moderate, but it’s still a bit ordinary. The afternoon bumps down to 2ft and poor again.
Now, Sunday the 30th is where things start looking up. The morning brings a 4ft SSE swell with a 9‑second period, light S wind at 6 mph, cross‑offshore, and the combined energy is 366. The surf is clean and the conditions are good – a solid 2 out of 10 score. This is the first real standout of the period. The waves are a bit small for a point break, but the wind is light and the swell direction (SSE) is matching the optimum ENE direction reasonably well. It’s a nice, clean session for experienced surfers, but beginners will be fine in these mellow waves.
But the real highlight is Monday the 31st of August. The morning is glassy with a 4ft SSE swell from the south‑southeast, but the period is a whopping 17 seconds – that’s very long‑period groundswell. The combined energy is 1432, which is strong. The wind is a light WSW at 3 mph, glassy, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best on offer by a long shot. The long period means the waves will have real power and shape, and because it’s a point break, it will handle the long‑period swell beautifully. The rip will be easier to paddle out, and the sets will be clean and lined up. Crowds are possible at Angourie Point, but on a Monday morning that might be a bit quieter. The water temp is still around average, so no surprises there.
The afternoon on Monday the 31st goes onshore from the NE at 12 mph, smashing the quality, so that morning window is the one to chase.
After that, Tuesday the 1st of September through to the end of the forecast window is a long, slow grind. The swell drops off, the period shortens, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross‑onshore. There’s a few sessions with clean cross‑offshore wind on Wednesday the 2nd morning (WSW 3 mph) but the swell is only 2ft with a 12‑second period, so it’s just ordinary. From Thursday the 3rd onwards, the swell is tiny (1ft to 2ft) and the energy is weak (44 to 99). It’s a dry spell that lasts from the 1st of September right through to the 7th of September. The only glimmer is Saturday the 5th morning, which is glassy with no wind, but the swell is only 1ft – not enough to ride.
In summary: the first real standout is Sunday the 30th of August morning – clean, small but fun. The absolute standout is Monday the 31st of August morning – glassy, strong, long‑period groundswell, excellent for experienced surfers. After that, it’s flat and poor for a full week. The forecasts can change, but for now, that Monday morning is the one to circle on the calendar.

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.
