The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Angourie Point over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow burn. The first week is mostly frustrating with small, messy swell and onshore winds that’ll have you shaking your head. The water temp is around 68°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing to get excited about there.
We’ve got some action starting to build around Thursday, August 27. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Thursday morning, the wind goes glassy with a light offshore from the SW, and we see a pulse of 5ft groundswell out of the SSE with a moderate period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 396 – that’s a decent push of moderate energy, and with those glassy conditions, it’s going to be clean. This is for advanced surfers, as it’s a bit of size, but Angourie Point handles it well. The swell direction from the SSE is a bit east of their optimum, but still, with the wind so clean, this is the standout session of the whole outlook.
The rest of that week and into the first few days of September is a real mixed bag. You get glimpses of clean conditions, like Monday, August 31 morning with a long period 14 second SSE groundswell (327 energy) and clean cross-off wind, but the size is small at 2ft, and the tide might mess with it. After that, it’s mostly poor surf conditions and onshore winds until the very end of the forecast, with nothing else really jumping out as a must-surf session. There’s a solid 3-4 day gap with no real recommendations in early September.
So, if you’re keen, make the most of that Thursday, August 27 morning glass-off. The rest is pretty average, but hey, it’s winter, and sometimes you gotta wait for the good ones.
Rusty.

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.
