Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for your patch. It's looking like a bit of a mixed bag, but there's a real gem hiding in the second week that you'll want to circle on the calendar. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The next few days are a bit of a write-off, really. We've got a dry spell from Wednesday the 19th right through to Saturday the 22nd, with mostly small, weak swell and poor wind directions. Angourie Point is offering up some small waves, but the wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the energy is just pathetic. You'll see the combined energy sitting in the weak zone, like 66 to 120, meaning there's nothing to get excited about. Sunday the 23rd morning has a brief moment of glassy conditions with a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE, but it's just not enough to paddle out for.

Then we hit another quiet patch. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are still poor, with onshore winds and messy, weak surf. The energy stays under 200, so honestly, it's a good time to clean the wax off your boards.

Now, here's the standout. Mark your calendars for Sunday the 30th of August. We've got a solid 7ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds, and it's coming in with a glassy, offshore wind early in the morning. The combined energy jumps to 684, which is a solid moderate-to-strong punch. This is a proper point break wave, and that swell direction is a nice match for the spot's optimum from the ENE. The wind is light and offshore, so it'll be clean and peeling. This is the one to aim for. It's a little heavy for beginners at that size, but for the rest of you, it's going to be a fun session.

The Monday the 31st of August morning still has some size, around 6ft, but the wind picks up to 16 mph from the south, which is cross-offshore, so it'll still be rideable but a bit more challenging. The period on Monday afternoon gets very long at 18 seconds, but that's from the SSE and the swell is tiny at 2ft, so it's more of a novelty.

After that, the outlook fades again. Tuesday the 1st of September through to Thursday the 3rd of September sees small, weak swells and strong southerly winds. The energy drops back to the low 100s, so it's time to find something else to do.

So, the play is clear: the 30th of August is your standout. Get out there early for the cleanest conditions.

Rusty.
