The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what Cobblestones has in store for us.
The first couple of days are the ones to circle. Monday, the 14th of September, we’ve got some serious juice coming in. A SSW swell at 12 ft, with a 14-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off from the SE at 9 mph. That’s a recipe for clean, well-lined-up waves. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a bit warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined energy is at 5483 – solid. That Monday morning session is the pick of the bunch, a real standout. Monday afternoon the breeze freshens a bit, but it’s still okay.
Tuesday the 15th is also a good bet. The swell drops slightly to 10 ft from the SW, still 14 seconds, and we’ve got an offshore wind from the East at 9 mph. That’s a beautiful setup, with energy at 4235. Tuesday afternoon the wind gets a bit more cross-shore, but it’s still manageable.
From Wednesday the 16th, things start to go quiet. Swell drops to 7 ft Wednesday morning, and the wind is a cross-off, but the energy is only moderate. Then we hit a proper flat spell. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th are windy and messy. Friday afternoon on the 18th sees 10 ft but with a fresh cross-onshore, turning it into a lumpy mess. Saturday the 19th is no better. There’s a long stretch of poor to marginal surf from Wednesday the 16th all the way through to Monday the 28th of September. Sunday the 20th afternoon has a 10 ft swell with a 16-second period, but the wind is moderate cross-shore, so it’ll be bumpy.
Now, the real event is Friday the 25th of September. That morning we see 13 ft, and by the afternoon it’s an absolute monster: 18 ft with a very long 19-second period. The energy is off the charts at 23993. This is a proper big-wave day for experts only. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, but at that size, it’s all about commitment. The morning of Saturday the 26th looks cleaner with a cross-off wind and 15 ft swell, but still massive.
So, the takeaway is clear: get out there Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th for the best, most consistent waves. After that, there’s a long gap of poor conditions until that giant swell on the 25th – keep it on your radar, but it’s a long-range call. Cobblestones can get a crowd sometimes, so aim for those early weekday sessions.

Information about the Cobblestones Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cobblestones provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cobblestones can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cobblestones 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 (Cobblestones) 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 Cobblestones 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.
Cobblestones is 85 km (53 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
