Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, looking down the 16-day run for the region.

Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. The surf is pretty much a write-off for the first week and a half, with a long gap of nothing worth paddling for. We’ve got a few days of hope right at the tail end, but you’ll need patience.

The first proper surf that’s even worth a mention doesn’t show until the morning of the 22nd of July. Before that, we’re looking at a solid 5-day stretch of no recommendations. The swell is too raw, the wind is cross or cross-off and strong, and the energy is messy. On the 17th and 18th of July, we’ve got 8ft to 10ft of short-period SE/SSE swell, but it’s getting hammered by 18-25 mph winds. The combined energy is moderate to strong, but the conditions are marginal and the setup just isn’t there for a clean paddle.

By the morning of Wednesday the 22nd, things start to settle. Out at Angourie Point, the swell has dropped to a clean 5ft from the east, with a 9-second period. The wind is light offshore from the WSW – that’s a major positive. The energy is still light, but the wave quality looks good for the more advanced crew. This is the first real chance to get a few, but it’s not the standout.

The real standout of the whole forecast period comes on the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. Angourie Point sees a lovely 4ft swell from the SSE, with a 8-second period, but the wind is light and cross-off from the south. The combined energy is low, but it’s clean, the sun is out, and the break is fairly consistent. For a spot that’s usually exposed and can get messy, this is a sweet little window. It’s not big, but it’s surfable and clean. Just keep in mind crowds can be possible here at times.

The following Sunday morning, the 26th, offers a tiny but clean 2ft swell with a very long 14-second period, light cross-off wind, and it’s glassy. The energy is weak, but for a point break like Angourie, that long period groundswell can wrap in nicely. It’s a long-period groundswell, so expect longer waits between sets but better shaped waves when they come.

After that, the surf fades into flatness through the end of July and into August, with only a tiny pulse on the 1st of August showing 2ft from the SSE at 18 seconds, and the energy climbing back. The wind is clean and cross-off, but it’s small and only for the experts looking for a longboard or a sneaky session.

Overall, the best bet is the morning of the 25th of July for a clean, small-wave session. The 22nd is a solid runner-up for a bit more size. The water temperature is sitting at 69°F, which is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
