The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the surf ahead for Angourie Point. It’s a mixed bag, to be honest. For the first week or so, we’re dealing with a lot of junky, wind-affected stuff—rain, cross-off breezes, and short-period swell. It’s not looking like a classic run of waves, but there are a couple of windows where the stars align.
The opening days are pretty grim. Friday the 14th has a small 5ft southerly swell, but the cross-off wind and marginal quality mean it’s not really worth getting excited about. Saturday and Sunday are poor—rain, bumpy conditions, and shorter period energy. The swell does push up a bit to 6ft and 6ft, but with the wind and rain, it’s messy. The combined energy is moderate (250 and 340), but the quality just isn't there.
We get a bit of a look-in on Tuesday the 18th morning. The swell has backed off to 6ft from the ESE, but we’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate (369), and it should offer some shape. Then Wednesday the 19th looks like the pick of the first week. The swell drops to 4ft, but it’s coming from the SE with an 11-second period—a bit more push per wave. The mornings are clean and glassy with a light cross-off. Combined energy is up at 470. It’s not big, but it should be fun and lined up. This is the standout of the early period—clean, offshore winds, and a more organized swell.
After that, it gets small and inconsistent through the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. The surf drops right off, with heights under 3ft. There’s a blip on the morning of the 27th, which is a week and a half away—glass, light offshore wind, and a 4ft SSE groundswell at 10 seconds. The energy is moderate (288), and conditions look clean and inviting. That one is promising, but it’s a long way out, so treat it with a bit of caution.
The end of the month doesn’t offer much either. The swell kicks back up on the 25th to 6ft and 6ft, but it’s riddled with cross-shore winds and chop, so it’s a pass. All in all, the best bets are Wednesday the 19th morning, and possibly the morning of the 27th. The water temp is around 68°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year here.
So, don’t get your hopes up for a big week of waves. It’s more about picking your moments and getting out when it’s clean. This point break can handle a bit of swell, but it needs the wind to cooperate. Keep an eye on that Wednesday window.
Rusty out.

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.
