The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Angourie Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s not looking like a classic run, but there are a few moments when it could come together.
We’ve got a long stretch ahead with only one clear standout, and a whole lot of days where the waves are just not cooperating.
The water temp is sitting at about 68°F, pretty normal for this time of year, nothing wild there.
Right off the bat, Friday the 21st is a write-off—cross-on wind and poor conditions. Saturday the 22nd morning is surfable but very ordinary with a little 3ft ENE swell and light cross-off wind. That pattern holds through to Monday morning the 24th when we finally get a moment of glassy conditions with a 2ft ENE swell. The wave energy is weak (88), and the period is short at 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s small and a bit gutless. Fun for a longboard maybe, but nothing to write home about.
Then we get into a mid-week grind from Tuesday the 25th through to Friday the 28th. The swell bumps up a bit to 4ft to 4ft from the ENE, with moderate energy levels (100-254). The problem is the wind—mostly onshore or cross-on, keeping the surface messy. The best of that stretch is Thursday morning the 27th with a cross-off breeze and clean-ish lines, but it’s still marginal.
Here’s the standout: Saturday the 29th. That morning, Angourie Point (Yamba) will be the pick of the whole outlook. We’re looking at a 3ft swell from the SSE with a period of 10 seconds, light cross-off wind from the WNW, and the combined swell energy is moderate at 236. The comment says to expect good surf conditions. The swell direction (SSE) is not the absolute optimum (ENE) for this break, but the clean wind and small, workable waves should make for a user-friendly session. Crowds can be an issue here at times, so get in early.
After that, from Sunday the 30th right through to the end of the outlook on September 5th, it’s a long run of poor conditions. Strong southerly winds, fresh breezes, and messy onshore slop dominate. There’s a moment on Tuesday morning September 1st with an offshore wind and a 3ft E swell (132 energy), but the overall quality is still very ordinary. The swell pulses in from the SSE with long periods of 11 seconds at the start of September, which could make the waves a bit straight at a point, but it won’t matter with the wind as it is.
So, to keep it real: there’s one good morning on Saturday August 29th. Get on it if you can. The rest of the window is mostly for the die-hards or those happy to sit on a log in small, ordinary surf.

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.
