Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, this is Rusty. We’ve got a mixed bag coming over the next couple of weeks. The run starts off a bit rough but there’s a sweet spot mid-week that’s looking like the pick of the bunch. We’re only talking one spot here – Angourie Point – so let’s get into it.

Tuesday the 8th kicks off pretty average. A big 30 km/h south wind and a tiny 1 ft easterly swell making for poor conditions. The combined energy is a measly 27 – barely a ripple. Not worth paddling out. Later in the day things pick up to 7 ft from the SSE but that wind’s still a strong cross-off, and the period is short at 8 seconds. The energy jumps to 553 (moderate) but it’s only marginal at best.

Now Wednesday the 9th – this is where it gets interesting. Morning brings in a glassy 5 ft SSE swell with a period of 8 seconds and light northwesterly winds at just 5 km/h. The energy is moderate at 350, and conditions are clean and glassy. This is a standout window. Angourie Point is an exposed point break, so it handles the swell well, and with offshore wind it’ll be peeling nicely. Just a heads up, it can get crowded sometimes, but for a Wednesday morning that might ease off. Afternoon goes onshore and choppy – not great.

Thursday the 10th sees a solid pulse – 10 ft SSE swell rolling in with a period of 9–10 seconds. That’s over 8 ft, so this one’s for experts only. The combined energy is strong at 1771 (morning) and 1515 (afternoon). Wind stays cross-off from the south at 30 km/h, keeping the surface clean but it’s big and powerful. Not a day for the faint-hearted.

Friday the 11th drops to 8–8 ft from the SSE/SE with moderate energy (1053–1023). Cross-off winds from the SSE at 25 km/h keep it reasonably clean, but the period is still 9–10 seconds – a bit short for a point break to really hum. Still, a decent option for advanced surfers.

Saturday the 12th holds around 7 ft from the SSE early, easing to 6 ft from the SE by afternoon. Energy drops to around 580–595, winds are cross-off but moderate. It’s marginal but surfable.

Sunday the 13th morning looks like a fun little window – 5 ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, light 10 km/h south cross-off wind, and 458 combined energy. Decent, clean, and a good chance for a paddle. Afternoon turns onshore and goes poor.

Monday the 14th onward things really flatten out. Swell drops below 3 ft with onshore winds, and energy levels fall under 200. Some days even dip below 100 (like Tuesday the 15th with just 62). This gap lasts from Monday the 14th through to Saturday the 19th – a solid six days of hardly anything worth chasing. The water temp is about average for the time of year at Angourie, no big anomaly to report.

Then on Sunday the 20th, a new pulse shows up with 7 ft SSE swell (9-second period) but it’s got a strong north cross-on wind at 15 km/h – looks messy on paper. Combined energy’s up around 696–727 but with that wind direction, it’ll be choppy and not great for the point.

Monday the 21st and beyond taper off again. Swell drops below 4 ft, energy sinks, and most days are onshore or cross-onshore with winds picking up. Tuesday the 22nd morning has just 3 ft at 8 seconds and energy of 81 – not worth a second look.

The true standouts are Wednesday the 9th morning – that glassy 5 ft SSE swell with light offshore wind is the best on offer. And if you’re keen on bigger stuff, Thursday the 10th morning will deliver powerful, clean 10 ft sets for those with the skills.
