Coffee Bay Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The swell window’s been busy and Coffee Bay Point is looking at a solid run of mixed conditions.

First up, Saturday morning, July 11th. We’ve got a solid 7ft southerly swell rolling in at 13 seconds, that’s a proper groundswell. The water’s sitting at 71°, which is right about average for this time of year—nothing weird going on there. The wind is light cross-off from the SSW, and the energy is strong, clocking in at 1391. That morning session will have some grunt, but it’s best for experienced surfers given the size. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so keep your eyes peeled. Later in the day, the wind swings SE and gets a bit cross-on, making things messy. Forget the afternoon.

Sunday morning, July 12th, the swell drops to 5ft from the south, but the wind goes glassy—ENE at 3 mph. That’s a treat. The energy is moderate at 697, but with those clean conditions, it’ll be super user-friendly. A great session for intermediates. The afternoon, though, turns into a stormy mess with easterly wind picking up to 12 mph—avoid it.

Monday morning, July 13th, is a standout. The swell is 8ft from the east with a short period of 8 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpy and fast—more of a beach break feel. But the wind is dead calm, glassy as can be, and the energy is strong at 1334. This is clean, punchy, and powerful. Only for the experienced crew. The afternoon has offshore wind, but the conditions are a bit iffy, so stick to the morning.

Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th see the swell dropping back to the 5ft to 6ft range, with clean glassy or cross-off winds from the SSW. Those mornings will be fun, consistent, and clean. Not a standout, but solid surfing.

Thursday the 16th offers a tiny 4ft easterly swell with glassy wind in the afternoon—nice for a longboard or a grovel board. Not a big wave day.

Now, hold onto your leash, because Friday July 17th brings a beast. An 12ft SSW swell with a 12-second period, but the wind is a near gale from the SW at 31 mph. The energy is monstrous—3365. Conditions are blown-out and dangerous. That’s expert only, if anyone is mad enough to try. Saturday July 18th is still big—10ft from the south with 14-second period, strong breeze from the SW, and energy at 3134. Looks more like a kite-surfing playground than a paddle session.

The following week, from the 19th through the 22nd, things get messy again with onshore winds and choppy conditions. There are a few windows—Monday afternoon July 20th has 6ft from the ENE with clean cross-off wind, that’s a decent option. But the big news is Thursday July 23rd. The morning brings a glassy 4ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, energy at 1189, and zero wind. That’s clean, lined-up, and lovely. But it’s small, so a bigger board will help. Friday afternoon July 24th also looks clean with a 3ft SSW swell at a very long 15 seconds, light cross-off wind. That’s a point break dream—long rides, but the crowd factor will be real.

The very end of the window, Sunday July 26th, sees another pulse—6ft from the SSW at a very long 17 seconds, but the wind is cross-on from the NE, making it choppy. That’s a shame because the swell has serious energy (2005). Probably one to skip.

Overall, the best sessions are Saturday morning July 11th for the experienced, Monday morning July 13th for the clean power, and Thursday morning July 23rd for glassy perfection on the smaller side. Get out there.
