The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s talk about Angourie Point.
It’s a slow burner to start. The first few days are pretty grim – poor surf, cross and cross-onshore winds, and the swell’s short and weak. The combined swell energy hits 390 (moderate) on Tuesday morning the 18th, but the wind’s making a mess of it. The swell’s coming from the ESE and SE, with periods of just 6 to 8 seconds. Not much to work with.
Wednesday the 19th morning sees things improve. A light cross-off breeze from the south, the swell is 1.3m from the SE, and the period stretches to 11 seconds – that’s a groundswell. The combined energy is 421 (moderate to strong). Water temp is 20°, about average for the season. That morning session is clean and should be good for the advanced crew.
Thursday the 20th morning is the real gem. Glassy conditions – dead calm, zero wind – and a 1.5m swell from the ESE with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 272 (moderate). Not huge, but glassy, clean waves at Angourie Point with the swell coming from the ENE – which is exactly what this point loves. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so get in early. That’s the best of the whole run.
From there, it fades. Friday the 21st is poor, Saturday the 22nd is ordinary, and then a string of small, weak days follows. The combined energy drops to triple and then double digits – all the way down to 9 by Monday the 31st. There’s a little spike on Wednesday the 26th with 1.5m from the SE and clean conditions, and Thursday the 27th has a 0.9m SSE groundswell with offshore SW winds at 20 km/h, but the size is small.
The second week is mostly small and clean but weak. A few mornings with light offshores, but the swell is under a metre. The energy is low. Saturday the 29th morning offers a 0.4m SSE groundswell with a 14-second period and a light offshore from the SSW. Clean, but tiny.
So, the takeaway: Thursday the 20th morning is the standout – glassy, head-high-ish, and perfect for Angourie. Wednesday the 19th morning is also decent. After that, it’s a long, slow fade into small, clean but uninspiring surf.

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.
