The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be real—this 16-day stretch for Angourie Point is a tough one for a point break that craves that east-northeast juice. The first week is pretty much a bust. From the 26th of August right through to the 6th of September, it’s a mess of weak, choppy, and onshore conditions. The water temp is about normal for the season at 69°F, nothing wild.
The first real bright spot hits on Monday the 7th of September. Early that morning, Angourie Point sees a clean 5ft south-southeast swell with solid energy (752), and a light offshore breeze out of the west-southwest. That’s clean, glassy, and the point will be running smooth. It’s not the perfect east-northeast direction, but for a point break, a south-southeast groundswell with a 10-second period still wraps in nicely. The offshore wind is the real deal—it’ll keep the faces clean and the takeoffs forgiving. It’s advanced territory, but the quality is there.
But Tuesday the 8th of September morning is the clear standout. A glassy 5ft south-southeast swell (968 combined energy, strong) with a very long 15-second period. That’s proper groundswell. At Angourie, a long-period swell like this draws up those long, grinding walls that the point is famous for. The wind is dead calm, light air, glassy. This is the one. It’s expert-only at that size with that period, but for those who are up for it, it’ll be a morning to remember. After that, it’s back to onshore junk and small waves, so lock in that Tuesday.
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.
