Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Coffee Bay Point.
The first few days are a quiet affair. Tuesday the 7th has tiny 2ft swell from the SW. Morning is glassy, but the energy is weak (206). Wednesday and Thursday stay small and messy – not worth the drive.
Things get real on Friday the 10th. That morning we’ve got a 10ft SSW groundswell, period a very long 15 seconds, clean conditions with a light offshore breeze, and combined energy cranking at 3552. This is a powerful, expert-only swell. The point break will handle that long-period energy beautifully, giving proper waves. This is the absolute highlight of the whole outlook.
Saturday the 11th morning holds at 7ft with glassy conditions and combined energy of 1388 – still a very good session for experienced surfers, but the afternoon turns sketchy with storms. Sunday the 12th drops off fast with onshore junk.
The following week sees a few okay days. Wednesday the 15th afternoon has 7ft SSW swell, clean cross-off wind, and combined energy of 810 – decent. Monday the 20th morning has a surprising 7ft ENE swell with glassy conditions (combined energy 731), but the period is short (7 seconds), so the waves will be weaker and less defined.
Bottom line: Friday the 10th is your day. Big, clean, and powerful. After that, it’s a mixed bag of small or windy days, so don’t miss that window.
