Alright, Rusty here with a look at what's coming up for Coffee Bay Point.
Right off the bat, Wednesday morning is looking like a bit of a non-starter. We've got small 2ft swell with a decent 14-second period, but the energy is weak (231) and the conditions are just ordinary. Not worth getting wet for.
The real story here starts to build from Thursday. Overnight, the ocean wakes up. We're looking at a solid pulse of 12ft SSW groundswell on Thursday morning with a 13-second period. The combined energy is massive (4982) – that's strong, powerful stuff. The wind is cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but this is strictly for experienced surfers only. 12ft is a serious step up, and that's before you consider the tide. Thursday morning is the standout for the big dog crew. The swell eases through the afternoon to 7ft but stays clean with cross-off winds.
Friday holds onto that energy with 8ft SSW swell and a 14-second period, still packing a punch (2971). The cross-off wind continues, so the lines will be clean. This is excellent, high-quality surf for intermediate to advanced surfers. It's not quite the peak of Thursday, but it's a very close second.
Saturday sees the swell dropping to 6ft, but the wind turns a bit tricky. A light S wind gives us cross-shore conditions in the morning, which isn't terrible, but the afternoon gets messy with an onshore E wind.
Things then go pretty flat and windy for a while. Sunday through to the end of the period is mostly a write-off with onshore winds and messy conditions. There are a couple of windows on Tuesday the 14th morning (6ft, clean, cross-off wind) and Thursday the 16th morning (5ft, clean, cross-off wind) which are rideable, but nothing to get excited about.
The water temperature is 71°, which is about average for this time of year.
Best on offer: Thursday the 9th of July morning for the biggest, most powerful swell (12ft from the SSW) with clean cross-off winds. And Friday the 10th of July for a slightly smaller but still solid day (8ft SSW) with the same clean conditions.
Rusty.
