Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Gday, Rusty here. We’ve had a rough run of it lately, but later this week and into next week there’s some serious energy building for the experienced crew at Angourie Point.

Kicking off Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th, it’s pretty much a write-off. Tiny 1ft to 2ft waves with onshore or cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. Not worth paddling out.

Wednesday the 16th morning stays small at 1ft, but the afternoon things change quick – a big 12ft swell from the SSE rolls in with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The combined swell energy jumps right up (1673), indicating strong wave energy. This is big and for experts only. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a groundswell but not super long.

Thursday the 17th keeps the size with a 10ft SSE swell in the morning and 8ft SSE in the afternoon. Winds are cross-offshore and clean. Energy is still cranking (1679 in the morning). Again, this is for the experienced crew – over 8ft is serious.

Friday the 18th morning is where it starts to level out for stronger intermediates. A clean 6ft SSE swell with lighter cross-offshore winds from the SSW. Combined energy is moderate (475). It’s dropping in size, but the shape should be there. The afternoon sees onshore winds creep back in, so get on it early.

Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th see the swell fade back to 2ft and 4ft, with onshore winds and poor conditions again. Sunday morning the 20th has a brief glassy window on 2ft from the SE, but it’s weak.

Now, here’s the standout for the brave. Monday the 21st afternoon, a big 13ft SSE swell hits with clean cross-offshore winds. Combined swell energy is very strong (2322). This is an advanced call only – huge, raw power. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s not an overly long groundswell, but at this size, it’s all about positioning at this point break.

Tuesday the 22nd morning is still big at 8ft from the SSE, with light cross-shore winds and moderate energy (1135). That’s still an expert window.

After that, from Wednesday the 23rd through to the end of the forecast on Tuesday the 29th, it’s back to mostly small, choppy, and onshore. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 26th morning with a tiny 2ft wave and a clean offshore breeze from the WSW, but it’s barely surfable.

For the true standout, it’s between Wednesday the 16th afternoon and Monday the 21st afternoon. The Monday afternoon session offers the biggest, cleanest energy of the whole run, but you need to be solid. Angourie Point is a point break, which is ideal for this kind of long-period groundswell – it should line up nicely. Crowds are sometimes likely, so you won’t be alone, but it’ll be a select crew.

Water temp is around average for this time of year.

Alright, that’s the look from here. Stay safe in the big stuff.
