The Lowdown
Righto, mate. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Angourie Point over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burn, so don't get too excited just yet.
The week kicks off with a small pulse of swell on Monday the 31st of August morning. We’re looking at 3ft of swell out of the southeast, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy’s moderate (252) but the wind is a cross-off from the south at 15 km/h, so the face is clean enough for a paddle. It won't be big, but there’ll be a few workable runners for the crew who know the lineup. Water temp is 68°, which is just about average for this time of year, no surprises there.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning looks like the real standout in this outlook. The swell drops a touch to 3ft, still from the SSE, but the wind goes glassy out of the northwest at only 5 km/h. That means mirror-like conditions on the point. The energy is still moderate (223) and the period is a solid 9 seconds, so you’ll get some nice, lined-up waves with plenty of push for the size. This is the session to aim for – clean, uncrowded (though it *can* get a few heads at times), and that offshore flow will keep the walls tidy. The wave direction is from the SSE, which is a bit off the optimum ENE for this point, but the quality of the conditions will make up for it.
From there, things go pretty quiet. We’ve got a run of poor surf from Tuesday arvo right through until the second week. Small, short-period junk and onshore winds dominate from Wednesday the 2nd through to Monday the 7th of September. Swell sizes hover around 1ft to 2ft with messy winds. Not worth a look.
On Tuesday the 8th of September arvo, a bit of a spike shows up – 7ft of short-period NE swell (6 seconds) but the wind is cross-onshore and gusty at 15 km/h. That combined energy jumps to 309, but the quality’s poor. This is more a choppy mess than a surfer’s session. Over 8ft, it’d be for experts only, but this is just under that threshold and messy.
Wednesday the 9th of September morning has the most interesting energy of the whole run. Strong offshore winds from the SW at 30 km/h will groom 6ft of NNE groundswell (8 seconds). The energy is very high (631) and the waves will be clean, but that’s a lot of power and it’s not quite the right direction for the point. Still, for experienced surfers, there could be some big, hollow ones if the tide lines up. Wednesday arvo the wind cranks to near gale force at 50 km/h, making it near impossible to paddle into. Thursday the 10th of September stays offshore but drops to 4ft, still clean, but not as punchy. Thursday arvo sees 5ft of ENE swell with moderate offshore breeze – that’s closer to the optimum direction, and the energy is moderate (272). Might be the only other decent window in the second week.
The final few days from Friday the 11th to Monday the 14th of September are all small, weak, and cross-offshore – clean but tiny. Tuesday the 15th of September morning has a glassy 3ft ENE swell, but again very small.
Overall, if you’re picking a day, hit Tuesday the 1st of September morning for the glass. The bigger stuff mid-second week is more for the experienced crew and comes with some heavy wind. Stay tuned, but don’t hold your breath for any long, epic sessions.
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.
