Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Coffee Bay Point.
We’ve got a solid run of waves on the way, but it’s a tale of two halves. The first week is all about solid, groundswell-driven surf, while the second week brings a bit more wind and chop. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is always a bonus.
The real standout is the morning of Friday July 10. The point is firing with a clean 8ft groundswell out of the SSW, with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is strong (2838), and the wind is a light cross-off breeze. This is proper, powerful point-break surfing for experienced surfers only. The set waves will be well-shaped and have plenty of punch, but with that size, you’ll be earning your waves.
The next morning, Saturday July 11, is also a winner. The swell drops to a clean 7ft from the S with a 13-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off again. The energy is still solid (1390). It’s another excellent morning for anyone who knows their way around a bigger wave.
After that, things get a bit messy. Sunday and Monday have some rain and cross-on winds, with the swell dropping. The windows of clean surf are short. Tuesday morning (July 14) offers a brief reprieve with a clean 4ft, and Wednesday morning (July 15) is glassy with a 6ft E swell, but the energy is low (661). Still, a glassy morning is never a bad thing.
The second week has a couple of promising blips, but they are less certain. The morning of Sunday July 19 is a doozy if you’re an expert. A clean 8ft SSW groundswell with a very long 15-second period and near-glass conditions (energy of 3021). That’s a lot of power, so it’s for the brave, and the sets will be long and clean. The morning of Monday July 20 is also glassy with a 7ft S swell, but the energy is a bit lower (1283). Read that as a very good session, but the 19th is the one to circle.
There’s a long gap of poor, wind-affected surf from the 22nd to the 25th, with fresh cross-on winds and lumpy conditions. The 22nd shows a big 8ft SSW swell, but the onshore wind will trash it. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session.
So, to sum it up: the first weekend is your best bet for consistent, powerful groundswell. The 19th of July is the long-range promise, but keep an eye on it. Get out there and earn it.
