The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking at the next sixteen days for Angourie Point. Let's be straight with you, it's a bit of a slow starter, but there's a serious pulse of energy coming if you're patient and experienced.
First up, we've got a flat spell to kick things off. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing unusual there. For the first week, you'll be scratching your head. Tuesday morning the 1st of September has a little bump of 3ft from the SSE, and with glassy NW winds at just 3 mph it looks clean, but combined swell energy is only moderate at 223 and it's just not enough to get excited about. After that, we're looking at days of small, messy, and onshore junk. Wednesday the 2nd, Thursday, Friday... it's all poor conditions with onshore winds and weak energy readings mostly under 150. Honestly, it's going to feel like a long wait.
Then things change. Fast forward to Wednesday afternoon the 9th of September. We get a glimpse of what's coming with a 3ft SSE swell and clean SSW offshore winds at 9 mph. That's the first sign of life.
But the real standout is the 11th of September. This is a big event. We are looking at a massive 12ft to 13ft groundswell from the SSE. The swell period is very long at 14 to 15 seconds, and the combined wave energy is pumping at a staggering 6256 and 6136. That is a serious, serious amount of energy. Now, with this size and power, this is strictly for advanced surfers only. Over 8ft is expert territory, and this is far over that. The wind is a strong, clean 19 mph cross-offshore from the south, which will groom it, but that's a lot of juice. Keep in mind that with such a long period, this swell might wrap a bit straight into the point, but Angourie is a point break, and that's exactly where it shines. The crowd situation is listed as "sometimes," so there will be a crew out, but it'll be a select few who can handle it. This is the session to aim for. The morning of Friday the 11th of September is the best on offer.
The following days on the 12th and 13th of September still have solid 7ft to 7ft SSE swell, but the quality drops quickly as the wind shifts onshore and the period drops. The energy is still strong, but the conditions get messy, especially Sunday the 13th with a strong NE onshore wind killing it.
So, to sum it up: you've got a flat first week, and a powerful, dangerous, but world-class window on Friday the 11th of September. For the rest of the second week the swell hangs around but with poorer winds, so it'll be a challenge to find a clean wave.
Stay patient, save your energy for the 11th, and don't even bother paddling out on the small days.
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.
