The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here, looking at the charts for Angourie Point over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a slow start, a few decent windows, and one morning that looks like it’ll be worth the wait.
Right now, things are messy. For the next few days, we’ve got some SSE swell rolling in, but the wind is all over the shop – mostly cross or cross-off and blowing around 9-12 mph. The wave energy is moderate, sitting around 476 (moderate energy) for Friday afternoon, but the surf is poor and choppy. It’s not a write-off for the whole period, but you’re better off waiting.
The first real glimmer comes on Tuesday, the 1st of September. Glassy conditions in the morning with a light NW breeze at just 3 mph. The swell is small, only 3ft from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds. Wave energy is moderate at 223, but that glassy wind makes all the difference. The water temp is 68°F, about average for this time of year. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and fun for the advanced crew at this point break.
After that, we hit a long dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon right through until the 8th of September, it’s mostly onshore, cross-on, or just tiny waves. A few mornings have clean looks, but the swell is barely there – 1ft, 1.0ft – with wave energy numbers dropping as low as 21 (weak energy). Not worth paddling out for.
Then we get another interesting window around the 9th and 10th of September. Wednesday the 9th has a clean morning with a 4ft SSE swell, 9-second period, and a light S breeze at 6 mph. Wave energy is moderate at 236. But the real standout is Thursday morning, the 10th of September. Glassy, dead calm, with a WSW breeze at just 3 mph, and the swell picks up to 4ft from the SSE with a long 13-second period. Wave energy jumps to a strong 512. That’s a lot of push for a point break, and with glassy conditions, the waves will be well-shaped and lined-up. For the advanced surfer, that’s your target. Just remember, long-period swells like that can make beach breaks a bit straight, but at Angourie Point, it’s ideal.
After that, the swell fades again through the weekend, with a bit of a bump on Saturday the 12th – 8ft from the SE but with an 8-second period and cross-on wind. That’s a lot of lumpy, messy water. Not great for a point break.
So, overall: the first few days are poor, we’ve got one glassy morning on the 1st of September for small clean waves, a long gap of nothing much, and then Thursday the 10th of September is your standout – glassy, 4ft SSE groundswell, strong energy. Get on it.
Rusty out.

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.
