Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the surf outlook for our area. The main event here is Angourie Point, a classic point break that needs a specific swell direction to really fire. It’s usually a pretty consistent spot, but it’s an advanced wave, so you’ve got to earn your keep.

Right now, the first few days are flat. There’s nothing worth paddling out for on Tuesday the 4th or Wednesday the 5th. The water temperature is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing to complain about there.

We get a little pulse of energy on the 9th, but it’s messy. Thursday the 11th has a bit of a bump with a 4ft swell from the SSE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have much shape. The wind is light offshore, which is a major positive, and the combined energy is moderate (218). The point might be a bit fun for a morning session, but don’t expect anything epic.

The real story starts to build around the 15th of August. We’ve got a solid run of swell coming in from the SSE. The 15th and 16th see swell heights building from 8ft to 10ft with a period of 10 to 11 seconds. The combined energy is strong, hitting 1074 to 2094, so there’s plenty of power. The wind is cross-off, which is rideable, but it’s not perfect. The water will be clean, but the size puts this firmly in the expert-only zone. Anything over 8ft is serious business.

The true standout is the morning of Monday the 17th. The swell is a solid 10ft from the SSE, with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 2064. The wind is a light cross-off breeze, and the conditions are clean. This is the best window of the entire forecast. It’s a big, powerful groundswell with a long period, so Angourie Point is going to handle that beautifully. This is a session for the experienced crew only.

Tuesday the 18th morning is also looking excellent, with an 8ft swell from the SE and a 10-second period. The combined energy is 1231, and the wind is almost non-existent. The waves will be clean and powerful. It’s a little smaller than Monday, so it’s still a big wave, but a bit more manageable for the strong intermediate.

The rest of the run into the 19th drops off, with the swell fading to 6ft. The wind is cross-off and moderate, so it’s still surfable, but the magic is gone.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The window from the 15th to the 18th of August is where you want to be, with Monday the 17th being the absolute peak. It’s big, powerful, and clean – a true point-break classic. Get your skis ready.

Rusty.
