Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here, and I'm looking at our patch for the next couple of weeks. It's a slow start, but there's a proper pulse building for the end of the run that's got my attention.

Right now, we're looking at a pretty flat spell. Nothing really worth paddling out for through the first few days. The water temperature's sitting at about 68°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Wednesday the 5th might give you a little knee-high wobble in the morning, around 3ft from the E with a 10-second period and a light offshore from the WSW. It's clean, but it's ordinary. The energy's weak at best (121). Honestly, not worth rushing.

We get a bit of a bump coming through on Sunday the 9th, chest-high stuff at 4ft from the E, but the wind's all wrong for it with a northerly cross-shore. The energy's picking up though (230). Then Monday the 10th looks a bit better with a WSW cross-off in the morning and a glass-off in the arvo, but still only waist-high.

Now, here's where things get interesting. Thursday the 13th, we start seeing a new SSE swell pushing in. The morning brings 5ft with a clean offshore from the SW. It's not big, but it's got some proper energy behind it (481) and it's clean. That afternoon it builds to a solid 7ft, though the wind switches to a light cross-onshore. This is where you want to be watching.

The standout window is Friday the 14th of August. The morning is shaping up as the pick of the whole forecast. We're looking at a solid 10ft of SSE swell, with a 10-second period, glassy-clean under a light offshore from the WSW. The energy is pumping at (1718). This is proper groundswell, the kind that'll be wrapping nicely into Angourie Point. It's going to be a freight train of a wave with that much size and power, so this is strictly for the experienced crew – beginners should give it a wide berth. The water temp is still average for the time of year. Expect some crowd factor too, as this spot can get busy when it's good.

Saturday the 15th sees the swell drop a touch to 8ft, but the wind gets messy with rain showers and a cross-off/on shore. Still surfable for the keen. Into the middle of the next week, Tuesday the 18th looks very solid again with 7-8ft SSE swell and clean cross-off winds, delivering strong energy levels (502-508). And then Wednesday the 19th of August is another absolute standout – 8ft of clean SSE swell, light offshore, with energy over a thousand (1103). This is another one for the experienced crew only.

So to wrap it up: the first week is mostly a write-off, then Thursday 13th gives you a signal, but Friday 14th and Wednesday 19th are the two absolute gems. Big, powerful, clean waves at the Point for those who can handle it. Get your quiver ready.

Rusty.
