Coffee Bay Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Coffee Bay Point over the next couple of weeks. We've got a pretty solid run of swell coming through, but the quality is gonna be a bit of a mixed bag, especially with the wind and conditions playing games.

First up, let's talk about the water temp. It's sitting at 70°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The real standout window kicks off on Saturday the 5th of July. Saturday morning is looking unreal at Coffee Bay Point. We've got a clean 8ft swell rolling in from the SSE with a nice 12-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. The water will be like a mirror. The combined energy is moderate (1859), offering plenty of push. This is the best session on offer, hands down. It is a bit big for beginners at 8ft though, so more suited to the intermediate crew and above. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have a few mates out.

After that, the swell drops off a bit and the week gets patchy. Sunday the 6th is a write-off with onshore winds, and Monday through Wednesday next week are just small and weak, with combined energy values barely breaking 300. There's a gap in the quality surf from Sunday afternoon right through to Wednesday the 9th.

Thursday the 10th of July morning looks promising again. We get a clean 4ft swell from the SSW with a 13-second period and cross-off wind from the SW. The combined energy is a moderate 698, and conditions are clean. A good option for a solid session.

Then things get interesting again for the weekend. Saturday the 12th of July afternoon has a clean 7ft swell from the S with a 13-second period, and cross-off wind from the SSW. Combined energy is a moderate 1719. It's excellent for experienced surfers, and it's clean, so that's another one to circle.

Looking further out, the second week is more of a tease. The standout there is Friday the 18th of July morning. We've got a solid 10ft swell from the SSW, a 13-second period, and the wind is glassy again – dead calm. The combined energy jumps up to a strong 3754. This is one for the experienced crew only, as 10ft is proper powerful. It's further out, so a bit less certain, but if it comes together, it'll be a day to remember. The afternoon is a bit of a write-off with cross-on wind.

Through the second week, there's a bit of a lull around the 14th and 15th with onshore winds and weaker swells, but then the energy builds back up towards the 18th and into the 19th of July, with a big 13ft to 16ft SSE swell showing on the Saturday afternoon. That's big and beefy, but the cross-on wind will mess with the face, making it more of a kite-surfing show than a paddling one.

So, to sum it up: your best bet is this coming Saturday morning (5th July) for a glassy, clean 8ft SSE swell. The second shout is the Friday morning of the 18th of July for a big, glassy 10ft SSW swell if you're experienced.

Keep an eye on it, the second week is a long way off.

Rusty.
