Coffee Bay Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Coffee Bay Point. This is a classic point break setup, handling a fairly wide range of directions, but it loves a good SSE swell – and we’ve got some interesting stuff lining up.

We start off with a bit of a mixed bag this Sunday morning. There’s rain showers about, but the wind is glassy, dead calm. The swell is a solid 5ft coming from the south with a 12-second period, pushing a decent amount of energy (679). That’s a promising start, with clean, lined-up waves. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama. By the afternoon though, the wind swings onshore and picks up, turning it into a choppy mess, so the window is tight.

Monday and Tuesday are a washout with onshore winds and lumpy conditions, but Tuesday morning actually goes glassy again. The swell sticks around, 6ft from the east, but the period is a short 9 seconds, so expect a bit of a lumpy, weak push. Not really worth paddling out for.

Wednesday morning shapes up better. The wind goes clean, cross-off, and the swell is still 5ft from the east. It’s clean, but the energy is dropping (477). It’s a sessionable wave, but nothing to write home about.

Now, hold on to your board. By Friday afternoon, we get a big jump. The swell jumps to 10ft from the SSW, with a 9-second period. That’s a lot of water moving, and the combined energy is a hefty 1386. The wind is strong cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but that’s a heavy 10ft. That’s expert territory for sure. The period is short, so it’s going to be a bit fat and powerful – a real challenge.

The real standout is Thursday morning, 23 July. The wind is dead calm, glassy. The swell is 3ft, but the period is a massive 19 seconds from the SSW. That’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is huge (1585). This is a true point break dream: long, clean lines with plenty of power. It’s a quiet, glassy morning, and the wave quality is excellent. This is the best on offer – a real gem if you can get out there.

After that, the window gets messy again with onshore winds and inconsistent swell through the end of the week. The 27th Monday morning shows another chance: glassy conditions, 5ft from the SSW with a 15-second period and excellent energy (1546). That’s another standout, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on the forecast.

Overall, the best windows are the early morning glass-offs on Sunday, 12th July, and then the big, clean, long-period groundswell on Thursday, 23rd July. The 27th Monday is also promising but far out.

Rusty out.
