Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty checkin’ in from the coast. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got one standout spot on the radar, and it’s a proper classic. Angourie Point is an advanced, fairly consistent point break that loves an east-northeast swell. The water temp is sittin’ around 68°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so nothin’ to stress about there.

The week kicks off proper on Tuesday, July 21st, with a solid 6ft easterly swell rolling in. The period’s a decent 10 seconds, and with a light southerly cross-off breeze, it’s gonna be clean. The combined energy is a solid 778, so we’re talkin’ proper juice. Expect very good, clean waves. The afternoon holds up too, with 6ft at 10 seconds and still cross-off, energy at 644. This is a damn good start.

Wednesday, July 22nd the swell drops to 5ft, but the morning has a light westerly cross-off, keepin’ it clean. The energy’s down to 363, but still surfable. The afternoon turns ugly though, with a 12 mph onshore northeasterly blowin’ it out. Don’t bother.

Thursday, July 23rd the morning glass right off the land with a 3 mph offshore from the southwest. The swell is 4ft, energy 198, so it’s small but clean. Get a log out. The afternoon gets crossed up and messy.

Friday, July 24th morning is a write-off with a 16 mph southerly cross-off, dropping the swell to a tiny 2ft. The afternoon, however, is a weird one. A 6ft SSE swell rolls in with a short 8-second period, but the energy jumps to 440. It’s clean, but that short period and a fresh cross-off will make it hard work. Marginal.

Saturday, July 25th morning sees a 4ft SSE swell, but the period jumps to a whopping 14 seconds. That’s proper long-period groundswell, with 757 energy units. It’ll be smooth, but at a point break like Angourie, that long period can make it wall up and run a bit straight. A light northwesterly cross-off might make it tricky. The afternoon is a no-go.

Sunday, July 26th morning is a beauty. A 3ft SSE swell, with a clean 10-second period, and a light 6 mph offshore from the southwest. Energy’s at 243, and it’s gonna be clean and fun. The afternoon holds a 2ft swell with a 13-second period, also clean. Good for a small-wave cruiser.

Monday, July 27th is ordinary. Small 3ft swell, morning has a light offshore, but it’s weak. The afternoon gets crossed up.

Then there’s a real dry spell. Tuesday, July 28th through to Wednesday, July 29th morning is tiny or flat. The energy drops to 8. That’s a solid 24-hour gap of nothin’ worth paddlin’ for.

But hold on… Wednesday, July 29th afternoon the ocean wakes up. A 8ft SSE swell arrives with a 9-second period and a screaming 892 energy. With a light southeasterly cross-off, that’s gonna be a big, powerful, and clean afternoon. That’s the standout of the first week for sure. Thursday, July 30th morning backs it up with 7ft at 9 seconds, 669 energy, and a glassy 3 mph westerly breeze. That’s epic.

The end of the week and into the start of August sees a mix. Friday, August 1st morning has a 7ft SSE swell with a 10-second period, 789 energy, and a light offshore from the west-southwest. That’s the best of the second week. The afternoon gets crossed up. Sunday, August 3rd morning has a 6ft clean swell, but the real gem is Monday, August 4th afternoon – a 5ft SSE swell, 10-second period, 872 energy, and glassy conditions with a light rain. That’s a magic session.

The tail end of the forecast from Tuesday, August 5th onward drops off quickly, with small, weak, and messy surf. Not worth planning around.

The Pick: The absolute best on offer is the Wednesday, July 29th afternoon session at Angourie Point. Big 8ft SSE swell, clean cross-off, and a massive 892 energy. That’s a session for the quiver of your biggest board. It’s big, so it’s for experts only. The Monday, August 4th afternoon glass-off session is a close second – a perfect, clean 5ft with glassy conditions. That’s a dream.

Remember, this is a long-range look, so that second-week stuff is promising but not a guarantee. Stay stoked.

Rusty.
