Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's take a look at what’s shaping up for Angourie Point over the next couple of weeks. It's a classic point break, exposed to the swell and best when the direction lines up from the ENE, which isn't exactly what we're seeing for most of this run, but there are some windows.

The pattern starts off a bit messy. We've got a small pulse on Saturday the 4th with 4.3ft of SSE swell, but the 7-second period means it's a bit weak and jumbly – the combined energy sits at a moderate 258. It’s clean with a gentle cross-off breeze, so it'll be surfable but nothing to write home about. Saturday afternoon drops right off to a tiny 2.0ft with a better 12-second period, but it's not the direction we want.

Sunday and Monday the 5th and 6th are a write-off for quality. Winds pick up strong, and even though there's a big spike of 9.8ft on Monday morning with a massive 1123 energy reading, the SSE wind is strong and the period is short at 8 seconds. That's more of a washing machine than a point break wave, and could be interesting for kite surfers rather than paddle surfers.

The standout window is Wednesday the 8th. We get a solid 8.2ft of SE groundswell with a 11-second period, pushing the combined energy to a very strong 1765. The morning brings offshore SSW winds at 12 mph, so the point will be clean and lined up. This is proper, powerful point surf for experienced crew – too much grunt for beginners. The swell direction isn't the absolute optimum for the point, but an offshore wind and that much energy will still produce some excellent, long walls.

After that, the energy stays high but the conditions get tricky. Thursday the 9th holds 8.2ft but the wind is cross-off and the period drops. Friday the 10th has 6.9ft SSE swell with a better 11-second period, but the cross-off wind keeps it from being perfect. The second week from the 11th onward is smaller and more inconsistent. The 13th and 14th see tiny waves, but a little pulse returns around the 15th with 5.2ft and offshore SSW winds, and then again on the 18th with 6.9ft of ESE swell and gentle offshore winds. That morning of Saturday the 18th is a promising long-range call – a bit less certain, but it could be a fun, clean session.

Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to worry about.

So, if I had to pick the one true standout, it’s the morning of Wednesday the 8th. Get out there for the best of the run. After that, keep an eye on the 18th as a hopeful.
