Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Angourie Point.

The next week and a half has a bit of a slow start, but there’s a real gem of a window waiting for us. The pattern starts quiet, then builds into a solid run of cleaner, stronger surf from the end of July right into the first week of August.

The week starts off pretty average. Sunday the 26th has some 4ft swell from the SSE with a 12-second period, but the morning’s offshore wind gives way to a cross-on breeze in the arvo, making it messy. The combined energy sits around 396 (moderate), but it’s nothing to write home about. Monday the 27th is slightly cleaner with a 4ft morning swell and offshore winds, but the energy dips to 233 and the period drops to 9 seconds – rideable but not special. Then from Tuesday the 28th through to Thursday the 30th, it’s a flat spell. Swell drops below 2ft, energy readings are in the double digits, and the last few days of July are a write-off.

Now, Friday the 31st is where it starts to get interesting. The morning brings a 4ft SSE swell with a 12-second period and a clean offshore wind from the SW. The energy jumps to 525 (moderate-to-strong) and the forecast is looking very good. That morning session is the first real standout, with clean lines and a nice pulse. The afternoon gets blown out by a strong southerly, so make it a dawn patrol.

Saturday the 1st of August sees a bigger 6ft SSE swell, but those moderate south-southwest winds make it bumpy – it’s a bit of a handful and better left for the experts. The combined energy is a beefy 700 (strong). Sunday the 2nd is the true highlight of the whole outlook. Morning offshore winds with a 5ft SSE swell and 11-second period, energy at 630 (strong), and the forecast is very good. The afternoon stays clean with a 6ft SE swell and the same energy. This is the best on offer – clean, solid, and that long period groundswell will really wrap into the point, giving you some proper long, down-the-line rides.

Monday the 3rd keeps the run going with a 5ft SE swell, glassy conditions in the afternoon, and a light breeze. The energy is still strong at 615. After that, the swell starts to back off. Tuesday the 4th is a bit ordinary with onshore winds, Wednesday the 5th is small and weak, and Thursday the 6th is blown out with rain. The following weekend (Friday 7th to Sunday 9th) looks fun again, with 4ft to 5ft SSE swells and clean conditions, but nothing beats that Sunday the 2nd. The water temp is sitting right around 68°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

Angourie Point is a classic point break, so it loves that SSE to SE groundswell. It’s exposed and fairly consistent, but it can get crowded sometimes, so be ready for company. The pick of the whole period is hands down the morning of Friday the 31st of July, and the entire day of Sunday the 2nd of August. That’s the one to circle.

Stay keen, Rusty.
