The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for our region and, honestly, it’s a bit of a slow start. There’s basically nothing worth paddling out for until Thursday the 16th, so we’ve got a few days of flat, small, or junk surf to get through.
Angourie Point is the only show in town. This classic point break is exposed to the ENE swell window, and it’s an advanced wave. It’s fairly consistent, so it tends to offer up something when other spots are shut down. Water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty average for this time of year.
We get a pulse of energy kicking in on Thursday the 16th. The swell jumps to 10 ft from the SSE, but it’s short-period stuff at 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate to strong (1165), but that short period and the cross-off wind mean it’s going to be raw and bumpy. It’s more for the experienced crew, and even then, the quality is marginal. By Thursday afternoon, the swell drops to 8 ft with the same short period and cross-off wind, still not clean.
Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th see the swell hanging around the 7 ft to 10 ft range but with periods still under 8 seconds. The wind stays cross-off or cross, so it’s messy. The energy is moderate to strong (491 to 1245), but the surface will have a chop. Not worth getting excited about.
Now, Sunday the 19th looks like the first real standout. Swell jumps to 13 ft from the ESE with a period stretching to 10 seconds. The combined energy is very strong (3222). This is a big, powerful groundswell. It’s going to be a solid, demanding day at the point. The wind is a fresh cross-off from the SE, keeping the faces clean. This is expert-only territory at that size. The afternoon drops to 10 ft from the E at 10 seconds, still good energy (2182), but still big.
Monday the 20th offers a similar story: 10 ft from the ESE at 10 seconds (2035 energy) in the morning, but the wind goes cross, putting a cross-chop on the face. The afternoon improves with a cross-off breeze and 8 ft ESE swell (1487 energy). It’s still big, but cleaner.
By Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd, the swell backs off to a much more manageable 6 ft to 6 ft from the E at 10 seconds. The wind is light and offshore (SW) on Wednesday morning, which will make for some clean, lined-up waves. The energy is moderate (599 to 741), but the quality should be decent.
Thursday the 23rd brings a new, longer-period swell. 8 ft from the ESE at 13 seconds in the morning. That’s proper groundswell. Combined energy is strong (1739). The point will handle that period well. The wind stays cross-off from the S. This is a solid day for the advanced crew. The afternoon eases to 6 ft from the E at 12 seconds.
Friday the 24th through Sunday the 26th sees a steady run of 5 ft to 6 ft waves from the E/ESE with periods of 11 to 12 seconds. This is classic point surf. The energy is moderate (618 to 1064). The highlight here is Saturday the 25th morning: 6 ft from the ESE at 12 seconds with near-zero wind. That’s glassy, clean, and rippable. Sunday morning also looks prime with a 6 ft ESE swell at 12 seconds and an offshore breeze from the SSW. Crowds are always a possibility here when it gets good, so get in early.
After that, the swell fades into the following week. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th drop to 4 ft to 4 ft with moderate cross-off winds and very weak energy (460 or less). The last few days of the period are small and punchless.
So, my pick is Sunday the 19th for the raw power and size, but you’ve got to be on your game. For a clean, fun session with long lines, I’d target Saturday the 25th or Sunday the 26th. Keep an eye on that last week of July – it gets smaller.
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.
