Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the scoop on the waves coming our way.

First up, we’ve got a solid window of opportunity, starting this Wednesday morning. The water temp is sitting right around 68°F, which is bang on for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Alright, let’s get into it. The standout session, and the one I’d be circling on the calendar, is Wednesday morning at Angourie Point. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the west, keeping the surface glassy. We’re looking at a 5ft easterly swell with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is solidly moderate (363). This is a classic point break, and with that offshore wind, it’s going to be peeling off clean. The crowd factor is listed as "sometimes", so you might not have it all to yourself, but it’s a setup worth the paddle.

Now, the rest of the week is a bit of a mixed bag. Thursday morning has a little more size at 4ft from the east, but the wind is from the southwest and offshore, so it’ll be clean. The energy is a bit lower (198) and the period is still 9 seconds, so it’s surfable, but it’s not the quality of Wednesday.

Friday through the weekend is a bit of a write-off for quality. The swell gets messy and the wind turns onshore or cross-shore, making for choppy conditions. The energy values are all over the place, but the wind is the enemy here.

We hit a bit of a lull from Sunday the 28th through to the end of the month. The swell drops right off to 1.0ft, with barely any energy. It’s a flat spell, so don’t bother paddling out.

Then, looking out into the first week of August, things start to get interesting again. On Tuesday, August 4th, the afternoon shows a bump in swell to 4ft from the SSE with a period of 12 seconds, but the wind is onshore from the NNE, so the quality is poor. The real eye-opener is Wednesday, August 5th. The swell jumps to 7ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, both from the SSE with a long 14-second period. That’s a groundswell, and the energy is very strong (1704 and 2340). It’s a big, powerful swell, but the wind is cross-shore from the NNW, which will put a bit of a chop on it. This one is for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 8ft. It’s a promising long-range forecast, but we’ll have to see how it shapes up.

The real prize, though, is Thursday, August 6th. The morning session is where it’s at. We’re looking at a 10ft SSE groundswell with a 13-second period, and the wind is offshore from the WSW. That’s a clean, powerful, glassy looking wave. The combined energy is very strong (2860). This is a big, powerful swell that’s only for the experienced crew, but if you’ve got the skills, this is the best bet of the entire outlook. The afternoon turns onshore, so the morning is the window.

So, to wrap it up: Wednesday morning, July 22nd and Thursday morning, August 6th are the two standouts. The first is a clean, fun point break session, and the second is a powerful, expert-only groundswell. The rest of the time, it’s either flat or messy, so pick your moments.

Rusty.
