Alright, let me break down what’s happening at Coffee Bay Point. It’s a point break that breaks pretty consistently, and it really lights up with a swell out of the SSE. The first few days are pretty quiet – small waves, nothing special, just average conditions. But don’t let that fool you; the good stuff is coming.
The first morning worth getting wet for is Thursday, July 9th. Swell hits 6 ft from the SSW with a 13-second period – a proper groundswell packing some punch (combined energy is 1052). The wind is clean cross-off, so expect nice, rideable waves for intermediate surfers. By Thursday afternoon it jumps to 7 ft, still clean, but that’s getting big for the average bloke.
Now, Friday July 10th is the standout. Morning sees a solid 8 ft SSW swell with 14-second periods – that’s long-period groundswell, and the combined energy is a massive 2969. Wind is light cross-off, so you’re looking at clean, hollow waves for experienced surfers only. This is the one to circle on your calendar. Friday afternoon drops to 8 ft but gets a little cross-on, so not as perfect.
Saturday the 11th is a mess with strong NE winds and lumpy surf – steer clear. Sunday the 12th recovers with a 5 ft SSW swell and clean cross-off winds in the morning – solid session for anyone keen. Monday the 13th is another gem: 4 ft from the south with a very long 15-second period, and offshore winds. That’s glassy, lined-up point break perfection.
The rest of the run has plenty of clean, fun days even if the swell isn’t massive. Tuesday the 14th morning is glassy with 5 ft from the SSE, and Wednesday the 15th is dead calm with 3 ft of south swell – pure glass. The following week, Thursday the 16th afternoon has a 7 ft SSW swell with moderate offshore wind, good for experienced crew. Friday the 17th morning is also clean with 3 ft from the SSW and a 14-second groundswell.
Bottom line: Coffee Bay Point is your only show in town, and it’s got a couple of absolute rippers. Don’t bother with the small, windy days. Save your energy for Thursday the 9th, Friday the 10th, and Monday the 13th. That’s where the magic’s at.
