The Lowdown
Alright, there’s not much to get excited about for the next week or so, but there’s a nice window opening up for the experienced crew later on. The setup is looking best at Angourie Point which is a classic point break that handles pretty much any size and direction. Water temp is sitting around 69°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year.
Right now, into Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th, it’s small and messy. Swell around 4ft to 5ft from the SE, but cross-shore and cross-onshore winds are making a mess of things. Combined energy is moderate at best (267 to 424), and the period is short – not much push. Not worth paddling out.
Monday and Tuesday the 14th and 15th are flat to tiny with onshore junk. The 16th of September Wednesday shows a bit of a spike up to 12ft from the SSE, but that comes with a strong breeze of 22 to 25 mph. Even though the wind is cross-off and the wave faces will look clean, the energy is huge (2016), and that’s only for experts. Thursday the 17th stays big at 12ft (2526 energy), same story – big, raw, cross-off wind.
Now the standout window: Friday the 18th. The morning is the pick. Swell sits at a solid 8ft from the SE, period at 9 seconds, and combined energy is a chunky 1188 – that’s strong, powerful stuff. The wind swings offshore from the SSW at just 9 mph, making for clean, groomed faces. This is premium for experienced surfers. A point break like Angourie will line these waves up beautifully. It’s big, so leave the foamies at home.
After that, Saturday the 19th drops back to 6ft from the ESE, with a longer 11-second period, but the cross-on wind spoils it. Sunday the 20th has a glassy morning with tiny 3ft leftover swell, surfable but nothing special. From Monday the 21st through to the end of the period, it’s small, choppy, or onshore – a few clean mornings here and there but barely a ripple worth chasing.
Crowds can show up at Angourie sometimes, but with the size and timing, you might have a chance at a decent session if you’re up early on the 18th.

Information about the Angourie Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Angourie Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Angourie Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Angourie Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Angourie Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Angourie Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
