Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coffee Bay Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the rundown in feet and degrees. For Coffee Bay Point, we’ve got a bit of a mixed forecast over the next couple of weeks, but there’s some good stuff in there.
The start is a little rough. Saturday morning on the 11th has some solid size with a 7ft S swell with a 13-second period, and it’s clean with a light cross-off breeze. The wave energy is strong (1391), but it doesn’t hold. After that morning, the wind shifts and things turn choppy. Sunday the 12th through most of the following week is a mess with onshore winds and poor conditions.
We get a break on the 14th. Tuesday morning is looking real nice: glassy conditions with a light 4ft ESE swell. That clean surface on a point is always a treat. The energy is moderate (470), but it’s perfect for a quiet session. Wednesday the 15th also has clean waves in the morning around 5ft from the east.
The weekend of the 18th and 19th sees the swell jump up – 8ft from the SSE with massive energy (2915 and 3183), but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy. That setup is more appealing for kite surfers than for a standard paddler.
The real standout is Saturday the 25th. I’m looking at glassy, clean conditions with a long-period 5ft SSW groundswell – 18 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell that will wrap around the point and give you some long, powerful walls. The energy is very strong at 1872. It’s a great size for experienced intermediates, but that period will push you down the line. Sunday the 26th still has a 4ft SSW swell in the morning, but the wind turns more onshore, so the real gem is that Saturday.
Water temp is about normal for the season, nothing to complain about.
Rusty.
