Angourie Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here with the imperial version.

Look, it’s a mixed bag at Angourie Point for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a big pulse of swell early on, but the wind is gonna be a real battle. The water temperature is sitting right on 70°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year—nothing unusual there.

The week kicks off with some serious size, but it’s not exactly an easy ride. Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th of July are putting out 10 ft to 12 ft of southerly swell, with a solid 11-second period. The combined energy is up around 2947 (moderate energy), so there’s plenty of push, but the wind is a cross-off from the south at 12–18 mph. It’s not ideal for a point break that wants that offshore flow from the southwest. This setup is going to be gnarly—over 8 ft, so experts only, and the cross-off wind will make it tricky and bumpy. Not the best few days.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th drop slightly into the 6 ft to 8 ft range, still with cross-off winds from the south to southeast. The energy drops to around 1055–1568, which is still moderate, but it’s a cleaner picture by Friday afternoon. That 6 ft SE swell with a 10-second period and a lighter 9 mph cross-off breeze is a step in the right direction, but not the standout.

Then we hit a flat spell. Saturday the 11th sees the swell drop right off to 4 ft, and the wind turns onshore from the north-northeast, creating poor conditions. Sunday and Monday are tiny, with swell down to 1.0 ft–3 ft and very weak energy (10–196). There’s really nothing doing from the 11th through to the 14th—a proper 4-day lull.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. From Wednesday the 15th of July, we start to see a new pulse filling in. The morning has a clean 3 ft SSE swell at 13 seconds, with a gentle offshore wind from the southwest (9 mph). The energy is 454 (moderate), and it’s building. Thursday the 16th morning is looking even better: 4 ft SSE at 12 seconds with a clean offshore from the south-southwest—that’s real nice. Energy up to 523. Friday the 17th is the real standout, though. The afternoon session is pumping: 6 ft SSE swell at 12 seconds, energy of 1037 (moderate to strong), with a gentle cross-off breeze from the south-southeast. That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell direction is from the SSE, which is a bit east of the optimum for Angourie Point, but the size and clean conditions make it the best window in the whole outlook.

Saturday the 18th holds 5 ft in the morning with a light west-northwest cross-off, but the afternoon goes to onshore northeast—so get in early. After that, the swell fades into the 3–4 ft range for a few days, with a mix of clean and onshore conditions through to the 22nd, but nothing that screams “drop everything.”

If you’re an experienced surfer, the best bet is the afternoon of Friday the 17th of July—that’s the one to circle.

Rusty.
