Angourie Point

Northern NSW, Australia
🪨Rocks🦈Sharks👊Localism👥Crowded

Angourie Point is a historic right-hand point break that helped birth Australian shortboard surfing in the 1960s. The wave breaks over a basalt reef into a deep channel, producing long, workable walls with occasional barrel sections when NE swells push in. The famous "Blue Pool"—a natural ocean pool carved into the rocks—sits at the base of the point. Angourie has a quiet, old-school feel compared to the circus further north, though the local crew takes the lineup seriously. It's a piece of Australian surf history still delivering quality waves.
