Angourie Lefts
Edit SpotAbout
Usually empty and a nice sucky wall.
Atmosphere:
A pretty good left on its day, on a solid 4-6 foot east-northeast swell, and less crowded than the main point.
Additional Info:
It can be a good left on the other side of the point at Angourie, it's just not well known because its not very consistent-it needs a decent clean swell and won't break properly until the swell hits about 4-5 feet. It can also get pretty long, linking up with the beach.
At its best at 4-6 feet+, it starts way out on the end of the point where it barrels from takeoff, then fattens out in the middle to end sections. You can fit in about 4 or 5 turns on a good day, but the outside hollow section is probably the best. It breaks close to the rocks, but you can pick off wide sets as well in deeper water.
At 6-8 feet it will start to closeout and will need a higher tide, but all tides are good if its not too big.
