The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a slow burner this time, so let’s get straight into it.
The next 16 days start off pretty flat, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. There’s a stretch of small, messy conditions with onshore winds that’ll have you sitting on the beach watching the seagulls for most of the first week. A few pulses show up later, but you’ll need to be patient.
Right now, through the middle of September, the swell is tiny and the wind’s coming from the north and northeast, which makes a mess of the lineup. You’re looking at 1 ft to 2 ft of weak, short-period junk. The water’s at 69°, which is just about average for this time of year – nothing weird there.
Now, here’s where it gets a bit more interesting. From the 16th of September onwards, we see a bigger push of swell from the SSE, and the wind swings southerly, giving us some clean, cross-off conditions. Wednesday the 18th is the standout. Friday morning the 18th of September is your best window. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the SSE, light SSW wind, and the energy is moderate (407). This will be the cleanest and most rideable we’ll see for a while. It’s still a bit punchy at that size, but the point break setup at Angourie Point handles it well – the swell direction from the SSE matches the preferred ENE optimum for the place, so the lines should wrap in nicely. Keep an eye on the crowds, because this spot can get busy when it’s good, and it’s one of those spots that can be inconsistent, but when it’s on, it’s a gem.
Later in the month, around the 25th and 26th of September, there’s another SSE/ENE pulse showing. The energy is strong (804 and 884 respectively), with 6 ft to 6 ft swell and periods around 8-11 seconds. The wind on the mornings is light or cross-off, so it’ll be clean – but it’s getting bigger, pushing over 5 ft, so that’s more for the experienced crew. A long-period component on the 26th (11 seconds) could make it a bit walled at the beach, but at the point it’ll set up nicely.
For the rest of the second week, the swell stays in the 3 ft to 6 ft range, but the wind tends northeast and onshore, which kills the quality. Not much to write home about there.
In a nutshell: don’t bother with this week. Wait until the 18th of September for a proper session, and maybe keep an eye on the 25th and 26th for another solid day, but that’s one for the experts.
Stay salty.

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.
