Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag to start, but there’s a real standout waiting for you if you’re patient. The early part of the week is rideable but nothing to write home about, with a building swell and some tricky wind shifts. The real magic, however, is shaping up for the last weekend of July and into the start of August.

First up, we’re looking at Angourie Point (Angourie) on Tuesday the 21st. It’s a bit cloudy with a 6ft swell from the east, running at a 10-second period. The energy is moderate (778), and with a cross-off wind, it’s going to be clean. This is solid, advanced-level surf, and the water temp is about average for the time of year. Wednesday the 22nd sees the swell drop to 5ft from the east, still clean in the morning, but the wind swings onshore in the afternoon, turning it to junk. Thursday the 23rd is small, with 4ft from the east and a light offshore in the morning, but it’s pretty ordinary. Friday the 24th is a write-off—windy, messy, and the swell is all over the shop.

Now, here’s the one you’ve been waiting for. Saturday the 25th of July is the pick of the bunch. The morning brings a beautiful 4ft groundswell from the south-southeast, but check the period: 16 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell, and the energy is very strong (1125). With a light cross-off breeze from the west-northwest, it’s going to be glassy and clean. Just remember, with that long period, the point will handle it beautifully, but it can get a bit walled-off at the beach breaks. This is for experienced surfers only—it’s going to be a ripper morning. The afternoon is a bit of a letdown though, as the wind shifts.

Sunday the 26th is a drop-off, with 3ft from the SSE and a clean offshore in the morning, but the energy is down (239). The rest of the week into the end of July is a real trough. From Monday the 27th right through to Thursday the 30th, it’s small, weak, and mostly ordinary. The energy readings are all under 200, and the winds are all over the shop. There’s a big gap of poor to average surf here for several days.

But hold on—Friday the 31st of July morning has a sneaky little contender. It’s only 2ft, but the period is a massive 19 seconds from the SSE. That’s a very long period groundswell, and with a light offshore from the west-southwest, it’ll be clean. The energy is moderate (406). It’s small, but for a longboard or a single-fin, it’ll be a joy on the point. Saturday the 1st of August morning is similar, with 3ft from the SSE at 14 seconds, clean and glassy. The energy is up at 488. Not a big day, but very clean.

The following week, from the 2nd to the 5th of August, is a bit of a lottery. The wind is inconsistent, and the swell stays small, mostly under 3ft. There’s a promising moment on Monday the 3rd of August afternoon with a 2ft, 19-second groundswell, but the wind is strong at 16 mph from the west-southwest, which is offshore, but it’s a fresh breeze, so it’ll be choppy. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th have clean mornings with small, moderate energy swells, but nothing to get excited about.

Overall, the clear standout is the Saturday the 25th of July morning at Angourie Point. That’s the one you want to circle. The long-period groundswell, the light wind, the point setup—it’s got the lot. The rest of the window is average to poor, with long gaps of nothing special. Keep your eyes on the sky, but for now, that Saturday is the dream.

Rusty.
