The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Alright, let’s not beat around the bush – the next couple of weeks are a mixed bag, but there’s a clear winner if you’re patient.
The water’s running at about 68°, pretty standard for the season, so no drama there.
We start flat and messy. Monday the 17th is a mess with onshore ESE winds at 12 mph and terrible, choppy surf. Tuesday’s no better – cross-shore wind and weak, small waves. The first real chance comes Wednesday the 19th morning. A light S breeze, cross-off, with a clean 5ft swell from the SE at 11 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (468), and because it’s a long-period groundswell, Angourie Point – that classic point break – will turn it into proper, lined-up waves. This is a standout: clean conditions, good energy, and the direction is spot-on. Crowds can pop up here sometimes, but early on a Wednesday you might have it quiet.
Thursday the 20th morning stays clean with a glassy WSW offshore at 3 mph and 4ft from the ESE, but the period drops to 8 seconds and energy’s weaker (219). Surfable, but average. From Friday the 21st through Tuesday the 26th, it’s mostly junk: small waves, onshore or cross-shore winds, and energy falling into double digits – a solid 5-day gap with nothing worth chasing.
Wednesday the 27th afternoon shows a little life: clean cross-off wind and 4ft from the NE with short period, moderate energy (223). Not terrible, not great. Thursday the 28th morning is a real oddball – tiny 1ft swell but with a massive 15-second period from the SSE. The energy sits at moderate (229), and with a glassy W breeze, it’ll be clean and long lines, but very small. Only for the longboard crew.
Now, the absolute standout is Sunday the 30th morning. A light S breeze at 6 mph, cross-off, with a clean 4ft swell from the SSE at 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell with moderate-to-strong energy (400). For Angourie Point, that’s the sweet spot – clean, good shape, and enough push to keep you busy. It’s under 5ft, so it won’t be too heavy for most. This is the best call in the whole 16-day window.
Monday the 31st is back to onshore mess, and early September fades to flat.
So, mark your calendar: Wednesday the 19th morning and Sunday the 30th morning. The 30th is the clear winner.

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.
