Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Angourie Point over the next couple of weeks.

First off, the water temp is sitting right around 68°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Monday the 27th is a total write-off – rain showers, a cross-shore wind, and that small SSE swell is just messy. Tuesday the 28th morning shows a little bit of promise with a clean cross-off breeze and surfable 3ft waves from the SSE, but it’s very ordinary. Nothing to get excited about.

We’ve got a real dry spell from Tuesday afternoon all the way through to Friday the 31st afternoon. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the scores are flat. It’s a proper gap of a few days where you’d be better off doing something else.

Then things start to stir. Saturday morning, August 1st, we get a solid 5ft SSE swell with a light cross-off breeze and clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 193. It’s not pumping, but it’s a good surf session. That carries through Saturday afternoon too.

Now, Sunday morning August 2nd is where the first real standout appears. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SE, but the period is 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is offshore from the SW, light, and the combined energy is strong at 548. For a point break like Angourie, that long period will really line up and give you some nice, drawn-out lines. This is the pick of the first week.

Monday morning August 3rd is also very good, with a 4ft SE swell, 14-second period, and a light cross-off from the WNW. Clean and powerful. Combined energy is 885, which is strong.

The next few days drop off a bit, with smaller swells and moderate winds, but then we get another promising run. Thursday morning August 6th sees a 5ft SSE swell, though the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Friday morning August 7th is cleaner with a 6ft SE swell and a light offshore from the SSW – that’s solid, but at 6ft it’s pushing into intermediate territory.

The big standout for the whole period is Saturday morning, August 8th. We’re looking at a 7ft SE swell, 9-second period, and a light cross-off from the SSW. Combined energy is very strong at 737. This is a proper swell, but it’s over 7ft, so it’s really for experienced surfers only. The wind stays clean, but the afternoon gets a cross-shore, so get it early.

Sunday August 9th holds similar size, 7ft from the SE with a long 11-second period, but the morning has a light cross-shore and the afternoon turns onshore and messy. That long period will make the point work nicely, but the crowds are something to watch – Angourie can be busy.

Monday August 10th afternoon is worth a mention too, with a 4ft ESE swell and a clean offshore from the WSW. Combined energy is moderate at 301. A nice, clean afternoon session.

After that, the swell fades into tiny stuff by Tuesday August 11th. So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is Sunday morning August 2nd for a clean, long-period session, and Saturday morning August 8th for the bigger, more powerful stuff – but that’s for the crew who know what they’re doing.

Rusty.
