Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards for Angourie Point.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag for the next two weeks, with more waiting than winning, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel if you’re patient. We start with a few days of pretty ordinary conditions, so don't get your hopes up for an instant strike. The first real glimmer shows up on the morning of Wednesday, 12 August. We’re looking at a clean 3ft SSE swell that’s packing a moderate energy punch (259). The wind’s a light WNW cross-off, making it feel clean, but honestly, the size and energy are modest.

The best of the early run is actually the Thursday morning of 13 August. It’s small, with a 2ft E swell and very low energy (61), but we’ve got a clean WSW offshore breeze and the point break setup could make it fun for a log. Don't expect power.

We hit a bit of a rough patch from Friday afternoon through the weekend and into the start of the next week. There’s some size on Saturday afternoon with a 8ft SSE swell (560 energy), but a fresh 19 mph SSE cross-off wind and a short 7-second period will make it a mess. By Monday the 17th, it's pumping 8ft SE swell with 698 energy, but it’s cross-shore and onshore winds will chop it up – that's more of a kiter’s session than a paddle surfer’s. That messy, cross-shore wind hangs around for a few days with similar size.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The real standout window kicks off on Friday, 21 August, and runs right through to Monday, 24 August. The morning of Saturday, 22 August is the pick of the whole outlook. We’ve got a clean 5ft E swell rolling in with a moderate 10-second period and good energy (447). The wind is a light W cross-off, which is about as good as it gets for Angourie Point. The sets will be clean, and the point will offer some lovely lines. Crowds are possible here, but on a good one it’s worth it.

Then Sunday morning, 23 August, is another cracker, with a 5ft E swell and a light SW offshore wind that'll keep it glassy. And Monday, 24 August, delivers the final highlight: a 4ft E swell with an 11-second period, a clean SSW offshore breeze – that's a long-period groundswell for the point, so expect some nice, walled-up waves.

Beyond that, things fade away into small, weak surf towards the end of the outlook. So, the long-range call: focus on that weekend of the 22nd and 23rd of August. The swell direction (E) matches what the point loves, and the offshore winds are the key. It’s promising, but as always at this range, keep an eye on it.

Water temp is sitting at a normal 68° for this time of year, so the wettie is still on.

Rusty.
