We have calculated the average water temperature variation around the year as well as the extremes that have been observed on each date.
All of the graphs for the surf breaks presented on Surf-Forecast.com are on the same scale to enable comparison between locations around the world.
Angourie Point water temperatures peak in the range 25 to 27°C (77 to 81°F) on around the 5th of February and are at their lowest on about the 16th of August, in the range 19 to 21°C (66 to 70°F). Year round warm water temperatures at Angourie Point climb to their highest at the beginning of February. Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. Angourie Point water temperatures are lowest in the middle of August. Surfers should use a 2mm long sleeve shorty or a 3/2mm spring wetsuit if the wind is up.
Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Angourie Point can vary by several degrees compared with these open water averages. This is especially true after heavy rain, close to river mouths or after long periods of strong offshore winds. Offshore winds cause colder deep water to replace surface water that has been warmed by the sun. Air temperature, wind-chill and sunshine should also be considered before deciding on the kind of wetsuit needed to stay warm when surfing at Angourie Point.
