Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, grab a coffee and settle in. I'm Rusty, and here's how the next couple of weeks are shaping up for us.

We're looking at a bit of a mixed bag to kick things off, with the real quality tucked away in the second half of the outlook. The first week is mostly a write-off for anything decent, with small, weak swell and dodgy winds. But hold onto your board, because from the 25th of July onwards, the energy starts to build, and we get a few windows of absolute magic.

For the first few days, it's pretty grim. Thursday and Friday are just small and messy, with the swell barely breaking 3 feet. The wind is all over the shop. You'd be wasting your time. That changes on Saturday morning, the 25th of July. That's our first standout. Angourie Point wakes up with a clean 5ft swell from the SSE, and that's a very long period of 14 seconds—proper groundswell. The energy is strong (1080), and with a light offshore breeze, it’s going to be beautiful lines wrapping around the point. This one is for the advanced crew, as that long-period swell will be juicy and powerful.

Sunday the 26th sees the swell drop off a bit, but another clean morning with offshore wind keeps it surfable. Then things go quiet again until the 30th. From Thursday the 30th of July through to the 1st of August, the ocean starts to pump again, but it's all a bit lumpy and raw. We're looking at solid 8ft to 10ft SSE swell with high energy (over 1500 in places), but the winds are strong and cross-offshore, making for challenging conditions. It's big, it's clean, but it's not easy.

Now, for the second standout, you want to wait for Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. The swell has dropped back to a very manageable 6ft from the SE, still with good period (11 seconds) and the all-important light offshore breeze from the SW. The energy is solid (855). This is the call for the weekend. Angourie Point should be offering up some long, clean walls. The water temperature is sitting around average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. After that, the swell slowly fades through the next week, with good clean mornings on the 3rd and 4th of August for the early birds.

So, to sum up: don't bother until the 25th of July. That Saturday morning is your first gold. Then, if you want to dodge the big, bumpy stuff in between, hold out until the 2nd of August for another superb, clean session. Later in the second week, there's a potential for another big pulse around the 6th of August, but keep an eye on the wind—it's likely to be lumpy.

Rusty.
