Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer down this way.

Alright, to be honest, the next few days are a bit of a write-off for getting any decent waves. We’ve got a bit of a dry spell until the start of next week. The swell is tiny and the wind is all over the shop, so don’t bother paddling out until Monday the 7th.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Monday (7th September) morning. Angourie Point is waking up. We’ve got a solid 6 ft swell pushing in from the SSE, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is a gentle offshore from the S, keeping things clean. The combined energy is pumping at a strong 702 (moderate wave energy). It’s a classic point break setup, so that SSE direction is right in its sweet spot. But listen, at 6 ft, it’s getting up there, so it’s more for the experienced crew. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, but on a Monday morning you might be alright.

Now, the standout. You’ll want to clear your calendar for Wednesday morning (9th September). Things go absolutely glassy. The wind drops to zero, complete glass-off conditions. We’ve got a 6 ft swell from the SSE with a period of 11 seconds, giving it plenty of grunt and shape. The combined energy is 779 (strong wave energy). The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. This is the best session of the whole outlook. Expect very good surf. The wave quality is going to be superb.

The rest of the week is a mixed bag. Tuesday afternoon (8th) sees a big jump in size to 8 ft from the SSE, with a combined energy of 1074 (very strong wave energy), but the wind is cross-off and the conditions are described as marginal. That’s big, proper expert territory, and the tide might mess with it. Thursday (10th) and Friday (11th) stay large with clean winds, but the forecast is still marginal, likely due to the size and tide. The swell sticks around through the weekend, dropping a bit, but the wind turns onshore in the afternoons, so mornings are the call.

Looking into the second week, it’s a bit more of a gamble. The swell drops right off after Sunday (13th), and we’re back to small, weak energy and poor conditions for several days. There’s a pulse showing late on Tuesday 16th September afternoon with a 8 ft swell from the SSE and a period of 8 seconds, hitting 850 (strong wave energy), but the wind is messy cross-shore and it’s a beach break setup, so it looks more like a kite-surfing day than a clean paddle session. A similar pulse comes through on Thursday 17th with 6 ft and a much longer 12-second period, giving it some proper groundswell feel. The wind is clean offshore, so that could be a sneaky good morning if you’re out there early. But it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on the charts.

Overall, Wednesday morning (9th September) is the absolute winner. Glassy, solid, and clean. Monday morning (7th) is a solid runner-up for the strong swell and clean offshore wind. The rest of the fortnight is a lot of waiting.

Rusty.
