The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up for the Angourie Point area over the next couple of weeks.
We're starting off a bit slow, but there's a couple of windows that will get the stoke going if you're patient. The water temp is just about average for this time of year at 69°F, so nothing to worry about there.
The first real standout is shaping up for Friday morning, 28 August. The swell from the SSE is a clean 4ft, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate at 373. The key is the wind – it's dead glassy, a light SW breeze. That means the surface will be absolutely perfect. Angourie Point is exposed to the swell, and the offshore direction is SW, which is ideal for this spot. It's a fairly consistent point break, best for advanced surfers, and crowds are only sometimes an issue. This is the pick of the early period.
The rest of the first week is a bit of a mixed bag. There's a lot of marginal or poor surf, with cross-off winds and short period swell. Saturday morning, 29 August, has a clean 4ft SSE swell at 10 seconds, but the energy is weaker at 297. It's surfable, but nothing to get too excited about. The whole stretch from Sunday the 30th through to Monday the 7th of September is pretty poor, with small, weak swells and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. There's a long gap of flat, low-quality days here.
Then, for the second week, things get interesting again. Thursday morning, 10 September, we see a big jump in size. A 8ft SSE swell at 13 seconds, with a very strong energy reading of 1785. That's a solid, powerful groundswell, but it's going to be pushing the limits for most, and the period is long enough that it might be a bit tricky at a beach break. At Angourie Point, a reef/point, that long period should actually produce some nice, lined-up waves. The wind is a clean cross-off from the S.
The absolute standout of the entire forecast, though, is Friday morning, 11 September. We're looking at a 10ft SSE swell, 14-second period, and a massive combined energy of 3993. That's a serious, powerful, long-period groundswell. The wind is a gentle cross-off from the S, keeping the face clean. This is "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers" territory. This is a big-wave day for the experts only. The size and period are perfect for Angourie Point, which will handle that long-period groundswell beautifully. It's a true standout, but it's a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts as it gets closer. The afternoon still holds good size at 10ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, so the morning is the clear winner.
All in all, the first decent window is Friday the 28th morning for clean, fun-sized waves. Then there's a long dry spell until the big pulse arrives around the 10th and 11th of September. The 11th is the one to circle on the calendar if you're an experienced charger.

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.
