Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Angourie Point.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year – no surprises there.

Now, the outlook over the next couple of weeks is a bit of a mixed bag. We get a solid pulse of swell mid-week, but the winds are going to be a problem for a few days. The best window, and the standout of the whole forecast, is actually the very end of the period. Let’s get into it.

We don’t have much going on right now. The first real action kicks off on Wednesday the 16th. Wednesday morning sees a building 10ft SSE swell, but it’s coming with a stiff 19 mph south wind, cross-off, so it’s marginal. By Wednesday afternoon, the swell jumps to 12ft from the SSE, with a 9-second period, and wave energy is pumping strong (1883). But again, that 22 mph SSE wind is cross-off, making it a messy, tricky prospect. This is expert-only territory – that size and those conditions are not for the faint of heart. Thursday the 17th is similar, with an 8ft SSE swell and cross-off wind. Not exactly clean.

The real standout is Friday the 18th. Friday morning is where it’s at. The swell drops to a more manageable 5ft from the SSE, with a 9-second period, and the wind goes completely glassy – 0 mph from the SW. That’s a rare treat. The wave energy is moderate (407), but with those conditions, Angourie Point will be offering up clean, lined-up points. For a bit of a bigger combo, the swell is in a good range for advanced surfers. It won't be huge, but it will be quality. If you can get out, do it.

After that, things drop off quickly. Saturday the 19th through to Tuesday the 29th is mostly a write-off. The swell gets smaller and smaller, dropping to under 3ft, and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making for poor, choppy conditions. You’ll see some small, weak swells with periods from 6 to 9 seconds, but nothing worth paddling out for. The wave energy gets weak, dropping to single and low double digits (76, 32). It’s a long, quiet stretch.

Then, we get another flicker of hope right at the end. On Wednesday the 30th, both the morning and afternoon sessions look promising. The swell picks up to 4ft from the NE in the morning, and then 6ft from the NE in the afternoon, with a short 6-second period. The wind goes glassy again – 3 mph from the NNW in the morning, and 3 mph from the NNE in the afternoon. This is another clean window, but the swell is a bit short-period and flukey. The wave energy for the afternoon is moderate (313). It’s not the same quality as the 18th, but it’s the only other time you’ll find clean conditions.

To sum it up: Friday the 18th morning is the best bet – clean, glassy, and a solid 5ft SSE swell on a classic point. The window on the 30th is a backup, but a distant second. The rest of the time, you’re better off doing something else.
