Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve only got one spot on the radar for the next sixteen days, and that’s Angourie Point. It’s a classic point break for the advanced crew, and it’s exposed to the east-northeast, so it’s gonna be picky with the swell direction.

The first real action kicks off Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. We’re looking at a clean 5ft swell from the east, with a 9-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the west-northwest. The water temp is about average for the time of year. The combined energy is a solid 363, so there’s some moderate power in the water. This is easily the standout session of the whole run – good waves, clean conditions, and the crowd is only a *sometimes* thing, so you might get some waves to yourself. Thursday morning, the 23rd, is another decent shout with a 4ft easterly swell and a clean offshore from the southwest. The energy drops back to 207, but the wind is perfect.

Now, Friday the 24th is a write-off. The swell drops right off into the 2ft range, and the wind is howling. Not worth paddling out.

Things get interesting again on Saturday the 25th, but it’s a tricky one. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the south-southeast, with a 14-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, and the energy is pumping hard at 1217. The wind is light and cross from the northwest. But here’s the caveat for a point break: that long-period south-southeast swell might not line up perfectly with the point. It’s a bit marginal, but if you’re an expert and know the bank, it could be a fun, powerful session. The following morning, Sunday the 26th, cleans up with a lighter 3ft swell and a sweet offshore from the southwest, with energy at 265. That’s a beauty for a point break.

We get a few more mornings with clean offshore winds and small, surfable waves through Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th, but the swell is tiny, around 3ft to 3ft.

Then there’s a long dry spell. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to Tuesday the 4th of August, the surf is mostly flat or tiny, with onshore winds or poor conditions. It’s a blank run of about a week.

Finally, on Wednesday the 5th of August, we see a pulse of 6ft swell from the southeast. It’s a moderate 9-second period, and the energy is at 648. The wind is light and cross, so it’s a bit messy, but it’s the biggest swell in that second week. Then Thursday the 6th of August morning looks promising – a 6ft swell from the southeast, with a gentle offshore from the south-southwest keeping it clean. The energy is 480. That’s worth a look if you’re still holding out for the end of the run.

So, the best of the lot is hands-down Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. If you miss that, Thursday morning the 23rd is a solid backup. The long-range stuff on the 6th of August is promising but less certain.

Rusty.
