Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a run of surf coming up at Angourie Point, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The first proper session worth getting excited about is Tuesday afternoon, July 21st. The ocean’s pumping out a solid 6 ft easterly swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy’s sitting at a moderate 574. Light SSE cross-off wind means the lines will be clean. The water’s sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year, so don’t expect any surprises on the thermometer.

Wednesday morning, July 22nd, is another good shout. Swell drops a touch to 5 ft from the east, still with a 9-second period, and that WNW wind is a clean cross-off. It’s a solid option for a midweek paddle. The energy’s dropped to 363, but it’s still a fun wave.

Now, Thursday morning, July 23rd, is a sneaky little standout. The swell is only 4 ft from the east, but the wind is a clean offshore from the SW, and the period is 9 seconds. The energy is a weak 198, but for a point break like this, that offshore wind is gold. It’ll be clean and lined up, perfect for a longboard or a fish.

Friday morning, July 24th, is a write-off. The swell is down to 2 ft, and the wind is a moderate 15 mph cross-off. The energy is only 67. Not worth your time.

Saturday, July 25th, gets interesting. The morning brings a 6 ft SSE swell with a very long 14-second period. The energy is a strong 1278! That’s a lot of power. The wind is a light cross from the NW. This is a big groundswell, and at a point break, it should wrap in nicely. But for beginners, 6 ft is getting a bit much, and the long period means the sets will be powerful and a bit more spaced out. It’s more of an advanced surfer’s session.

Sunday morning, July 26th, is back to a clean 3 ft SSE swell with a 10-second period. Light offshore SW wind. Energy is 252. It’s a fun, clean wave for a Sunday morning paddle.

The following week is a bit of a downer until Thursday, July 30th. That morning brings a 4 ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, light offshore SW wind, and an energy of 394. It’s a clean, nice little wave.

Friday, July 31st, and Saturday, August 1st, are for the big dogs only. The swell is over 7 ft, with the Saturday morning hitting 8 ft from the SSE, a 14-second period, and a massive energy of 1985. The wind is a stiff 15 mph cross-off. This is serious, powerful groundswell. It’s not for the faint-hearted. Only experts should be out there.

After that, the surf trails off into the first week of August with small, weak swell and onshore winds. Not much to report.

The best of the bunch? Thursday morning, July 23rd – small but with clean offshore wind, and Saturday morning, July 25th – a big, powerful groundswell for the experienced crew.
