Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming down the line for us. Let's get straight to it.

The picture for us is a bit of a slow starter, but then it gets real interesting. We’ve got a long gap of small, ordinary surf before some serious size rolls in. The first mention of anything worthwhile is a tiny window, but the main event is a solid stretch of powerful swell in the second week. Hold onto your boards.

First up, we’ve got Angourie Point from Friday, July 3rd. The water temp is sitting at 70°F, pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The swell is tiny at 3 ft from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak at 156. It’s clean with a light WNW breeze, but honestly, it’s barely surfable. This is just a tease.

Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th are even smaller, with swell struggling to reach 2 ft. Winds pick up on Sunday to a fresh 19 mph from the S, making conditions pretty average. Not worth paddling out for.

We then hit a real quiet spell. From Monday the 6th, nothing is recommended until Wednesday the 15th. That's over a week of flat, poor conditions. The small swell that pops up on the 12th and 14th is messy or poorly directed, so don't bother.

Now, the real news. From Monday the 6th of July, the ocean starts to wake up, but it’s expert-only territory. The swell jumps to 8 ft from the SSE, with the combined energy shooting into the moderate-to-strong range at 1061. It holds at 8 ft into Tuesday the 7th, with moderate to fresh southerly winds. This is big, powerful stuff, but it’s not clean enough to recommend for a regular session. The wind is cross-off, which can get tricky.

The standout window looks to be from Wednesday the 8th through to Friday the 10th. We’ve got a solid 10 ft swell from the SSE on Wednesday morning, with the combined energy hitting a very strong 3226. That’s a lot of power. The swell period is 10-11 seconds, which is decent, but this size is strictly for experienced surfers. It’s way too big for learners. The wind is a moderate to fresh cross-off from the SSW or S, keeping things reasonably clean despite the size. It stays in the 7 ft to 10 ft range through Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th.

Wednesday the 8th morning is the best of the lot for the big stuff. It’s got the biggest swell (10 ft), highest energy (3226), and clear skies with a manageable 12 mph wind. For any surfer with the skills and the board for it, that’s your call. For the rest of us, it’s a show.

From Saturday the 11th, the swell backs down to a more manageable 5 ft, but the wind stays moderate. Then we get another gap until Wednesday the 15th. That afternoon shapes up nicely – a 7 ft swell from the SSE with a clean, moderate offshore wind from the WSW at 16 mph. It’s a far better prospect for the average surfer, with moderate wave energy at 688.

Thursday the 16th morning keeps the trend with a 5 ft swell and offshore wind from the SW at 12 mph, energy at 397. That’s a clean, fun size for a lot of people.

After that, things fade out again into the weekend with dropping swell and stronger southerly winds.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off for any proper surfing. The real action is the big, powerful swell from the 6th to the 10th, but only for the brave. If you want clean, fun waves that aren't a mission, aim for Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th.

Rusty, signing off.
