Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your spring suit, let’s see what’s on the menu over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a big pulse of energy rolling in, but the first few days will be a bit of a wrestling match with onshore winds and rain, so the windows of proper quality will need a keen eye. The main event is going to be the 22nd, but we’ve got to get through the rough stuff first. The ocean is pumping with strong wave energy – we’re looking at a combined energy of 5002 in the early sessions – so there's plenty of push behind it.

Alright, let’s start at Angourie Point. Tuesday morning the 7th serves up a solid 12 ft of swell out of the SSE with a period of 11 seconds, but it’s wrapped in a “marginal” forecast with light rain and a moderate cross-off breeze. Still, an 12 ft groundswell with that period at a point break is powerful and will hold some shape. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.

That big energy hangs around into Wednesday and Thursday, but the wind stays cross-off and the swell drops from 12 ft down to 7 ft by Thursday morning. It’s still got serious power – Thursday morning’s combined energy is still at 1201 – but the wind, though cross-off, is a moderate breeze, not exactly glassy. This is for experienced surfers only at this size and power.

Come Friday the 10th, the swell is down to 7 ft and the wind backs off a little, but it’s still not clean enough to call a standout.

The real change happens Saturday the 11th. Early morning, the wind goes very light from the WSW at 3 mph, dropping to a slight air. The swell is 4 ft from the SE with a 10-second period, and the call is for “good surf conditions.” This is a window of clean, user-friendly waves on a point break. The combined energy is 456, moderate, but with that glassy wind, it’ll be fun. The downside? It’s a bit inconsistent here, but when it’s clean, it’s worth the wait. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you won’t have it to yourself, but it won’t be a circus either.

From Sunday the 12th the swell fades fast, dropping under 3 ft through the middle of the week. There’s a notable gap of several days from around Tuesday the 14th through to Friday the 17th where the surf is tiny or flat. The energy just isn't there.

We do get a little bump on the 21st with 4 ft swell and increasing wind, but again, it’s not the goods.

Now, here’s the standout. Wednesday the 22nd. Early morning, a 6 ft swell out of the SSE with an 11-second period, and offshore wind from the WSW at just 6 mph. The forecast is for “very good surf conditions” and the combined energy is 825. This is the pick of the entire outlook. The wind is gentle and off the land, which will groom Angourie Point perfectly. This is going to be clean, well-shaped, and powerful. It’s a little over a week away, so keep an eye on it, but this is the session to circle on your calendar. It’s big enough to be exciting for advanced surfers but manageable for strong intermediates if you pick your channel.

So to sum it up, the next few days are big and windy, but there are windows of clean surf on the 11th and a top-shelf morning on the 22nd that looks like the real deal.

Stay frothing,
Rusty
