The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the 16-day window for us. Let's be straight up – this run starts with a whimper, not a bang. The first week is a real mixed bag, with only a few windows that look good, and the second week shapes up to be more promising.
We're starting at Angourie Point, an advanced point break that's fairly consistent and exposed to ENE swell. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 68°. The first real nod to a session comes on Friday morning, August 14th. We've got a solid 5 ft swell from the SSE, and with a light SSW offshore breeze, it's going to be clean. The energy is building, at a moderate (375), and it'll be a pretty good option for the crew that can handle it. Just know that it can get a few people around sometimes.
The next standout is much further out. On Thursday morning, August 20th, the wind swings right around to a light SW offshore at just 3 mph, making for clean lines on a 4 ft SE swell (212 energy). It's not massive, but it'll be quality. Then, hold onto your boardies, because Sunday morning, August 23rd looks like the pick of the entire forecast. We're looking at a 4 ft swell from the E with a 9-second period and a light WNW offshore wind that's nearly glassy. The energy is a solid (262) and the conditions are set to be really good. It won't be huge, but for a point break, that offshore wind and clean swell is about as good as it gets around here.
The rest of the first week is a write-off with onshore junk, strong winds, or messy cross-shore chop. The second week has a few other mornings that look clean but the swell is small, like the 3 ft on Tuesday, August 25th, which is barely worth paddling for. The very end of the run (August 27th-28th) kicks up some bigger, longer-period groundswell from the SSE, with periods hitting 14 seconds and energy climbing to a strong (739), but it's going to be blown out by a strong breeze or worse. For a point break, that long period is great news, but with those winds, it's a pass.
So, to sum it up: the winner is Sunday morning, August 23rd – clean, lined-up, and a proper session. The runner-up is Thursday morning, August 20th. The rest you can sleep in for.
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.
