The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for Coffee Bay Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the standout session is this Saturday afternoon, July 25th. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSW, period right around 14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell with some real energy behind it (combined energy of 855). The wind is glassy, dead calm from the SE at just 3 mph. That’s as good as it gets for a point break; the water is a touch warmer than normal at 72°, about 2° above average for this time of year. This is the one to paddle out for – clean, lined up, and all yours if you get there early.
After that, the wheels fall off pretty quick. Sunday morning, July 26th, the wind swings NE and picks up to 9 mph, making it cross-on and choppy with 4ft of SSW swell. That’s a hard pass. The rest of that week is a write-off: strong cross-onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and poor surf quality right through July 31st. There’s a gap of about four days with nothing worth a paddle.
Now, we do have a promising long-range call. On Thursday, August 6th, the wind drops out again – glassy in the afternoon, with a 7ft swell from the ENE. That’s a bit of size, solid for intermediate surfers, but the period is only 8 seconds, so it’s a short-period windswell, not a classic groundswell. Still, combined energy is 684, and glassy conditions at a point break like this will make it smooth and rideable. Friday morning, August 7th, looks even better: glassy again, 7ft ENE swell, with a combined energy of 880. That’s a solid morning session, but keep in mind it’s over a week away, so don’t book the trip just yet – forecasts can shift.
The rest of the second week is mostly cross-on winds and messy, with the swell hanging around 5ft to 8ft, but the wind just won’t cooperate. The best bet is those two glassy windows on August 6th and 7th. Don’t bother with the rest – it’s a kite surfer’s playground out there with the strong NE winds.
Stay stoked, and keep an eye on that glassy shift.
