The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the outlook for the home break. Hoping for a few good ones, but we’ll have to be patient.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a bit of a flat spell. The first suggestion of any surf comes in on Wednesday the 26th of August, and honestly, it’s pretty average. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NE with a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-off from the W. The energy is weak (143), so it’s not doing much. It’s clean, but it’s not going to get the heart pumping. The water temp is about average for this time of year; nothing wild there.
Thursday the 27th is a write-off for any decent waves. The wind picks up strong from the S, and the swell is all over the place, with a brief jump to 5ft SSE on the afternoon but it’s messy and marginal. The energy jumps to 309, but it’s not clean.
Now, Friday the 28th of August is the first real glimmer. The morning is looking tasty. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a major positive. The energy is moderate (306) and the conditions are clean. This is the standout for the first week. It’s not a massive swell, but it’s lining up with an optimum ENE direction for the point, so there should be some fun, long, lined-up waves. Being a point break, it will handle the swell well. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are a bit of a mixed bag. The swell holds in the 3ft to 6ft range from the SSE, but the wind is a moderate cross-off, keeping it clean but not special. The energy builds to 601 on Sunday morning, but the quality is still marginal. It’s okay, but nothing like that Friday morning glass.
Monday the 31st of August brings a really interesting one. The swell drops to 3ft, but the period jumps to a very long 18 seconds from the SSE. That’s a proper groundswell, and the energy is strong (624). The wind is a light cross from the SE, and the combination of that long period and a point break setup could produce some beautiful, long-running waves. It’s the second real standout, but it’s a long-range call, so treat it with a bit of caution. The very long period might make the sets a bit inconsistent, but when they come, they’ll be worth it.
After that, the second week gets quiet. From Tuesday the 1st of September through to the 10th, the surf is really inconsistent. Most days have poor conditions with weak, short-period slop, or strong onshore winds. There’s a brief spike on Sunday the 6th of September, with a 10ft freak SSE swell, but the wind is strong onshore from the ENE, and the energy is huge (1223). For a point break, that’s more of a paddle-out for experts only, and the wind will make it a mess. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a good paddle wave.
So, to boil it down: the best windows are the glassy Friday morning of the 28th of August, and the long-period, promising Monday of the 31st of August. 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.
