The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you—this stretch ahead for Angourie Point is a real mixed bag, and for long stretches, it’s pretty bloody flat. There’s one standout session that’s worth circling on the calendar, but you’ll need patience to get there.
Right now, from Sunday the 30th of August right through to the end of the first week, we’ve got a slow, fading swell. Sunday morning starts with a 5ft SSE swell (combined energy 442), but it’s coming in with a 12 mph south cross-off breeze—so the waves are clean but only marginal. That’s basically the best of the first few days, and it’s still nothing to write home about. The swell drops fast: by Monday it’s 4ft, Tuesday down to 3ft, and by Wednesday we’re scraping 2ft. Winds stay light and mostly cross-off or cross through Tuesday morning, so you’ll get some clean little lines if you’re desperate, but there’s no punch in it.
Thursday the 3rd of September onward is a dead zone. Swell drops to 1ft with hardly any energy (combined energy 68 or less), and it stays like that through the weekend and into the start of the following week. The wind flips around—onshore from the northeast on Thursday and Friday afternoons—so it’s choppy and poor. A run of nearly five days with nothing rideable. Not good.
Then on Thursday the 10th of September, the whole game changes. Thursday morning delivers a proper spike: 7ft of SSE groundswell, period 12 seconds, and a combined energy of 1363—that’s strong wave energy. The wind is glassy, completely calm, so Angourie Point (NSW) will be absolutely pristine. This is the standout of the whole outlook. That’s expert-level size though—7ft is well into the big stuff—so if you’re not confident in overhead, this one’s for the crew who know what they’re doing. The swell direction is SSE, which works well for this point, and with that long period (12 seconds), you’ll get proper groundswell lines wrapping in with good shape and longer lulls between sets. This is the one to aim for. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
After that, the swell drops again quickly. Friday the 11th of September is back to 4ft, but the wind is cross-onshore from the north, so it gets messy, and by Saturday it’s all gone again. Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are tiny and poor.
So to sum it up: you’ve got a long flat spell right now, then one absolute beauty on the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. That’s your window. Get it while it’s glassy and big.
Rusty.

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.

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.
