Coffee Bay Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, pulling up the charts for the next stretch. Let's get into it.

First up, we’ve got Coffee Bay Point. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there. The overall pattern is a bit of a mixed bag. We’re looking at a few days of onshore junk before a real sweet spot opens up mid-week.

The main action kicks off Wednesday, July 29th, in the afternoon. The wind swings offshore from the WNW, light as a feather, and the swell is a clean 7ft coming from the SE. It’s a short period swell at 8 seconds, so not a ton of punch, but with that offshore breeze, it’ll be clean and lined up. This is a solid intermediate wave. The combined energy is sitting at 1441 (moderate), so there’s enough push to get you into some fun ones.

Then, Friday, July 31st, is the real highlight. The morning is looking glassy – absolute dead calm, wind from the west at just 3 mph. The swell is 6ft from the SE at 9 seconds. The report says "expect very good surf conditions," and I’m buzzing for it. The energy is moderate at 933, but that clean, glassy surface will make every wave count. That’s your window to get out there and score.

After that, the wind turns nasty. Saturday, August 1st, through Monday, August 3rd, has strong cross-onshore winds, blowing at 18-25 mph, making a mess of the 7ft to 8ft swell. The energy climbs up to 2185 (strong) on Monday, but with that wind, it’s a washing machine. Not worth paddling out for.

There’s a bit of a gap after that. The end of the first week and into the second week sees smaller, weaker swell and more cross-onshore junk. Energy drops way down into the 200-600 range, and the wind is no good. This is a dry spell.

Then, Saturday, August 9th, delivers a late-game standout. The afternoon is flat calm, glassy, and the swell is a solid 12ft from the ENE. That’s a big wave, only for experienced surfers. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a bit short for that size, but the energy is massive at 2208 (strong), and the conditions are described as "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is a promising one, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

Monday, August 10th, has a cleaner 8ft from the E with a 10-second period, but the wind is strong offshore, which might make it a bit wild. The energy is moderate at 1294.

So, to sum it up: the standout is Friday, July 30th morning, for clean, glassy fun. The big one to watch is Saturday, August 9th afternoon, for the experienced crew. The rest of the run is mostly blown out or small.

Rusty, signing off.
