Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, with a look at what’s on the cards for Angourie Point.

We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag ahead. The good news is there's some fun swell coming through over the next few days, but it fades out into a long, flat spell before a big, late-stage pulse shows up. The water temp is sitting right around 69°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Kicking off Friday morning, the 28th of August, we’ve got clean 4ft surf from the SSE with a 9-second period. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph, so it’ll be tidy. The combined energy is moderate at 360. It’s not huge, but it’s a solid start. Friday arvo drops off a bit to 3ft, and the wind shifts onshore, so make the most of the morning.

Saturday the 29th serves up another clean morning with 4ft from the SSE, cross-off winds again, and a touch more energy at 289. The arvo sees it bump up to 5ft, but the wind picks up to a moderate breeze, so it gets a bit messier. Sunday the 30th is the pick of the early run – 6ft from the SSE in the morning, combined energy pushing up to 516, and cross-off winds keeping it rideable. It’s getting up there in size, so it might be a bit much for the beginners, but for the advanced crew, it’s looking good. Monday carries similar size, but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit more crumbly.

Then we hit a wall. From Tuesday the 1st of September onwards, the swell drops away hard. Tuesday morning gives us one last clean, glassy session with 3ft and perfect light WSW winds. After that, it’s a long run of poor conditions. From Tuesday arvo all the way through to the 12th, we’re looking at tiny 1ft to 2ft junk, mostly onshore winds, and combined energy dropping below 100. That’s about a week and a half of flatness.

The standout on the horizon is Monday the 7th of September. We get a sudden spike of 13ft from the SSE, with combined energy absolutely hammering at 2977. That’s serious power. But it comes with a cross-onshore wind and only a 10-second period, so it’ll be lumpy and heavy. At that size, it’s strictly for the experts, and the angle isn’t ideal—that SSE direction is cross-off for the point, but the wind is messing it up. Tuesday the 8th is still huge, 8ft from the SSE with a long 14-second period (energy at 2412), but again, the winds are onshore and strong in the arvo. This setup, with all that power and messy wind, might actually look better for a kite session than a clean paddle. It’s promising, but the window is tight and the conditions are rough.

As for the break itself, Angourie Point is a quality point break, fairly consistent, and the optimum swell direction is ENE—we’re getting SSE, so it’s not quite lighting up perfectly. Crowds can be a thing here sometimes, so keep your eyes open.

Overall, the best bet is the Sunday morning (30th August) session for a solid, clean wave. After that, it’s a long wait for a big, gnarly pulse that might only suit the brave.

Rusty.
