Coffee Bay Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's cooking at Coffee Bay Point.

The next 16 days start off a bit messy, but there's a couple of real standouts that'll get the blood pumping for the experienced crew. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

We're looking at Saturday morning, August 1st, with a 6ft swell from the ESE, but that cross-on wind from the ENE is making it a bit of a washout. It's a no-go for the most part. The next morning, Sunday August 2nd, is where it gets interesting. The wind drops to glassy, dead calm, and we've got a solid 8ft groundswell rolling in from the ESE with a 12-second period. The combined energy is cranking at 1801, that's a serious pulse. This is excellent surf, but at 8ft, this is one for the experts only. The long period means it'll be lined up and powerful, perfect for a point break like this. Sunday afternoon sees the wind swing back onshore, so that morning window is the one.

Monday the 3rd drops to 7ft but the wind is cross-on, and it's just ordinary. Tuesday the 4th is even smaller and choppy, forget it. Wednesday the 5th morning is tiny, only 3ft, but it's glassy again. Surfable but very ordinary. The swell energy is weak at 208.

From Thursday the 6th through to Tuesday the 11th, it's a write-off. Strong winds, big messy swells, and a lot of poor conditions. There's a massive 23ft pulse on Monday the 10th, but it's way too big and blown out, the combined energy is insane at 30819, but it's unsurfable. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during that entire stretch.

Then we get to the second week, and the real gold appears. Thursday the 13th is a standout. We've got an 12ft swell from the ENE with a 9-second period, and crucially, a clean cross-off wind from the SSW. The combined energy is 1998, strong and powerful. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Friday the 14th is still good, with a 8ft ENE swell and clean conditions, though the energy drops a bit to 968.

Saturday the 15th is a beauty. The morning is a bit cross-shore, but the afternoon is clean with a cross-off wind and a solid 10ft ENE swell. The energy is 2487. That's another excellent session for the experts.

The standout is definitely Sunday August 2nd morning for the glassy, groundswell perfection, and then the whole of Thursday the 13th and Saturday the 15th afternoon for the clean, powerful, and consistent swell. The crowds are listed as "sometimes" at Coffee Bay Point, so you might have some company, but it won't be a zoo.
