Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watching this stretch of coast like a hawk. Let’s look at what’s on the table for the next 16 days.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid pulse of swell coming in, but the wind is the real enemy here for the first few days. It’s a bit of a rough start, but patience will pay off. The standout window is going to be the morning of Saturday the 25th of July, and then again on the 27th and 31st. Let’s break it down.

We’re looking at Angourie Point. It’s an exposed point break, and it’s an advanced wave. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing too weird going on there.

Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th are a write-off. We’ve got a big 8.2ft to 9.8ft SE/SSE swell, but with a stiff fresh breeze from the SSE and S, it’s all cross-off and messy. The combined energy is registering high (803 to 1175), but the period is short, around 8 seconds, so it’s just a lumpy, wind-affected mess. The wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions” and the scores are low. Not worth getting wet.

Sunday the 19th sees the swell hanging around 11.5ft to 13.1ft, with a period creeping up to 10 seconds. That’s a lot of energy (2964), but the wind is still a fresh SSE breeze. It’s too big and windy for most, and honestly, if you’re not an expert, stay out of the water. For the experienced crew, it’s a battle.

Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st ease off a bit. The swell drops to 8.2ft and then 6.2ft, and the wind lightens up. Tuesday morning sees a 6.2ft swell from the east with a 10-second period, and the wind is a slight air from the SE. The wave comment is still “marginal,” but it’s getting cleaner. The energy is moderate (714). Still, it’s not a standout.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Wednesday the 22nd of July morning is a real shift. The swell drops to a clean 4.3ft from the east, with a 9-second period. The wind is a light WSW breeze, almost offshore. The combined energy is just 300, but the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” The setup looks clean, and the offshore wind is a major positive. The morning is the best call here, because the afternoon turns onshore and messy.

Thursday the 23rd of July morning is also decent, with a 3.3ft ENE swell and a light WNW wind, again cross-off. The energy is weak (181), but it’s clean. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

The real standout is Saturday the 25th of July morning. This is the best call of the whole outlook. The swell is a solid 5.2ft from the SSE, with a 9-second period. The wind is a light WSW breeze, blowing directly offshore. The combined energy is 695, and the wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is a classic Angourie morning: clean, offshore, and the point will be reeling. The crowds can be around sometimes, but on a morning like this, it’s worth the company. The optimum swell direction for the break is ENE, but the SSE swell will still wrap nicely. This is the one to circle.

Sunday the 26th of July morning is okay, with a 4.9ft SSE swell and a light SSW offshore breeze, but the energy is lower (348) and the wind is a bit more variable. The afternoon is ruined by a fresh S breeze.

Monday the 27th of July morning is another beauty. The swell is 5.2ft from the SSE, with a 10-second period, and the wind is a gentle SSW offshore breeze. The wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions” again. The energy is 670. This is a close second to the 25th, but the wind is slightly less glassy.

Tuesday the 28th of July morning is a smaller, cleaner option, with a 4.3ft SE swell and a 10-second period, with a light SW offshore breeze. The energy is 371, and it’s “expect good surf conditions.” A solid morning for a longboard or a mid-length.

The end of the outlook has a couple of promising long-range calls. Friday the 31st of July is a major standout. The morning has a 3.9ft SSE swell with a very long 14-second period. The wind is a light SSW breeze, and the wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” The afternoon is even better, with a 3.3ft SSE swell, a 12-second period
