Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.

We’ve got a bit of a quiet start, but the real story is the pulse of big, powerful swell that hits the middle of the week. The standout window is Thursday July 16th through to Monday July 20th, when a solid, long period groundswell from the SSE/ESE fills in. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

The main event, and the only real highlight in this stretch, is Angourie Point (Angourie). This is an advanced-level point break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the swell. The best call is Thursday July 16th morning. The swell is pumping at 10 ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a hefty 1299 (moderate energy). It’s a cross-off breeze from the SSE, which keeps it clean. That’s going to be big, powerful, and lined up. For the confident surfer only – anything over 8 ft is for experts. This is a quality call, but keep in mind it can get busy here sometimes.

Following that, the swell stays solid through to Monday July 20th, with heights around 10-13 ft and energy peaking near 3000 (strong energy). The wind remains cross-off/offshore, so the waves will be holding shape, but it’s a lot of water moving. Friday July 17th sees a drop to 8 ft, but the period is very short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bouncy and less organised.

After that big pulse, things settle down but there’s another good window. Wednesday July 22nd morning is a standout. The swell drops to a very manageable 6 ft from the E with a 10-second period, and the wind swings light offshore from the SW, giving you glassy, clean conditions. Energy is 575 (moderate). This is a much more user-friendly, quality wave, and it’s the best chance for the average surfer to get a great session.

There’s a gap of smaller, weaker surf from the 24th through the 27th, with heights dropping below 5 ft and energy values falling below 400. The wind stays mostly cross-off, so it’s clean but small.

Then there’s a late looker on Sunday July 26th morning. A 6 ft SSE swell, with a very short period of 7 seconds, but it’s glassy offshore from the SSW. The energy is 500 (moderate). It’s a bit of a gamble with that short period, but the clean conditions could make it work for a fun session.

From the 28th onwards, the swell fades away to under 3 ft with weak energy, and the long period (11-12 seconds) will make it grovelly. The wind stays cross-off, but there’s just not enough power to get excited about.
