Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Angourie Point over the next couple of weeks. The first few days are pretty flat and messy, nothing to get excited about. We’ve got a real gap from the start right through until around Friday August 14th before we start seeing any action. The early stuff is either too small, the wind is junk, or both. Not worth paddling out for.

We get our first decent sniff on Friday August 14th morning. The swell picks up to about 5ft from the SSE, period around 11 seconds – that’s a nice long-period groundswell. The wind is light offshore out of the SW at 9 mph, so the face should be clean. There’s solid energy pushing in (539) and the wave quality looks promising. This is a point break, and with that long-period, expect good shaped waves with nice lines, but also longer waits between sets. This is the standout session of the whole outlook – if you can get out there, do it. Crowds are possible, so pick your take-off zone wisely.

The weekend after that gets a bit iffy again. On Sunday August 16th afternoon we get a bumpy 6ft from the SSE with a short 7-second period and cross-off wind. That’s more of a chop-fest. Not your best bet.

Then we roll into Monday August 17th. The morning sees nearly 7ft SE swell at 7 seconds, cross-off wind from the SSE at 9 mph, and 482 energy. It’s clean and just under that 8ft mark, so still manageable for strong intermediates but pushing it. The afternoon gets even better with around 7ft, same direction, lighter wind at 6 mph, and 502 energy. This could offer some fun, punchy waves, though the short period at a point means it may not be as clean-lined as the Friday. Not a true stand-out like the 14th, but a solid option.

After Monday things get a bit messy. Swell sticks around 6ft to 8ft through the rest of the week, but the wind keeps swinging onshore or cross-onshore, especially Wednesday and Thursday. It’s choppy and hard to get a quality ride. Those days are not for the faint-hearted.

Given that this is a point break, the longer-period swells are the ones to watch. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year. Nothing unusual there.

So in short – don’t waste your energy on the first week. Wait for Friday August 14th morning for the real standout session, and maybe the afternoon of Monday August 17th for another solid option. The rest is pretty average for Angourie.
