Coffee Bay Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, gather ‘round, surf rats. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Coffee Bay Point. It’s a pretty exposed point break that likes a good SSE swell, so we’re gonna keep an eye on that direction.

Alright, the outlook starts off pretty grim, honestly. Sunday the 9th we’ve got a bit of chest-high swell around 4 ft from the SSW, but it’s a long-period 14-second groundswell. The wind is a cross-offshore, which keeps the surface clean, but the whole setup is just marginal. Not worth paddling out for.

We’ve got a real dry spell here. Monday the 10th through to Saturday the 16th is just a write-off. The swell sticks around, but the wind is constantly junk – cross-onshore, onshore, or just too strong. The water is going to be a mess. The 11th sees some moderate energy (1497) but it’s paired with a choppy onshore breeze, so you’ll be fighting a washing machine. There’s a few days in there with some long-period, big-directional swells, but the wind just ruins it. This is a long stretch of nothing.

Then, hold onto your board. Sunday the 17th of August, morning session is the standout. The wind goes glassy. Dead calm. Just a slight air. You’re looking at a solid 6 ft of east swell with an 11-second period. It’s a bit of a cross-onshore by the afternoon, but that morning window? That’s the one. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. The combined energy is moderate at 784, but that glassy surface is going to turn this point into a dream. This is our best bet.

After that, things get a bit ordinary again. A couple of onshore days, a bit of a bumpy cross-off wind on the 20th that keeps it clean but the swell is small, and then we’re back into the cross-onshore junk for the final stretch.

So, to sum it up: the next week is mostly a skip. The only real call to action is the morning of Sunday the 17th at Coffee Bay Point. Get out there early for the glass and you’ll be rewarded.

Rusty.
