The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our stretch of coast. It’s a bit of a slow start, but we’ve got some real gems coming through if you’re patient.
The first few days are a write-off, to be honest. Sunday the 26th is a no-go – that 4ft swell from the SSE has a bit of energy (416), but it’s crossed up and the tide’s making things ugly. Monday the 27th morning is a tease: clean, offshore wind from the SW, and a knee-high 4ft SSE swell that’s actually surfable (233 energy), but it’s small and the afternoon goes to rain and rubbish. Tuesday and Wednesday are flat and forgettable.
Then we hit the real start. Friday the 31st is where it kicks off. Morning brings a clean 4ft SSE swell (449 energy) with light offshore SW wind – that’s your classic Angourie Point (NSW) shape. It’s a point break, so it holds that SSE groundswell beautifully, and the period is a solid 12 seconds, giving you long, lined-up waves. The afternoon turns on a dime: 7ft SSE swell (990 energy) with clean cross-offshore wind. That’s serious. This is the standout for the first week. The water’s sitting at 68°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year – no surprises there.
Saturday the 1st of August is still good, but a bit messier. Morning has 6ft SSE swell (623 energy) but the wind swings S at 12 mph, making it cross-off. It’s clean, but the swell is a bit lumpy. Still, there are waves. The afternoon drops off.
Sunday the 2nd is the other big one. Morning glass: 5ft SSE swell (647 energy) with a light offshore SSW wind. That’s perfect for the point – clean, peeling rights. The afternoon sees a jump to 6ft SE swell with a 14-second period (1247 energy), but the wind goes cross. Still, the energy is massive, and the point can handle that direction. This is a solid session.
Monday the 3rd is a morning-only affair. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a 5ft SE swell (584 energy) and an 11-second period. That’s a dream scenario for the point – silky smooth, long-period groundswell. But the afternoon gets ruined by onshore ENE wind. Get out early.
After that, Tuesday the 4th has a clean 4ft SE swell (366 energy) with offshore WNW wind, but it’s a step down. The following week is a mixed bag. Wednesday the 5th is small and ordinary. Thursday the 6th gets a chunky 7ft SSE swell (778 energy), but the wind is a strong 16 mph cross-off – it’s cleaning it up, but that’s getting into expert territory size-wise, and the period is a short 9 seconds, so it’ll be a bit jumbled. Friday the 7th is similar, but with rain. The weekend of the 8th and 9th is blown out with strong winds.
Then Monday the 10th of August is a beast, but only for the brave. The morning shows a 8ft ESE swell (1970 energy) with a 12-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore at 9 mph. The energy is huge, but it’s going to be a choppy, lumpy mess at the point. The afternoon jumps to 10ft with even more energy (2860), but onshore wind at 16 mph. That’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle day. Leave it for the experts on a jet ski.
So, the best on offer? Friday the 31st of July and Sunday the 2nd of August mornings are your winners. Clean, solid, good energy, and the point will be working. The Monday the 3rd glass-off is a special mention, but it’s a dawn patrol special. The long-range stuff on the 10th is promising in size, but the wind’s a killer.
Stay patient, and you’ll be rewarded.
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.
