The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Coffee Bay Point over the next couple of weeks.
It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of real gems hiding in there if you're patient. The water is sitting at a nice 71°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner wetsuit or just a spring suit.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, with a lot of onshore wind and messy conditions. Saturday the 1st is a washout with a light cross-on breeze and marginal 6ft surf. The real action starts to fire up on Sunday the 2nd. That morning is looking like the standout for the near term. The swell is a solid 8ft out of the ESE with a nice 12-second period, packing a heap of energy (1954). The kicker is the glassy conditions with a light Easterly breeze. This is serious, powerful surf for experienced surfers only. The point should be handling that size and direction beautifully.
After that, things get a bit choppy again through the week with onshore winds, until we get a bit of a reprieve on Wednesday the 5th morning. It's a smaller 4ft but glassy again, a good option for a smaller board session.
The following week has some interesting potential, but it's further out. Sunday the 9th sees a big jump in size with a 13ft SSW swell, but a howling 31 mph cross-off wind makes it pretty much a kite-surfing day. Monday the 10th stays massive at 16ft from the SE, but again with strong winds. The real standout in the second week is looking like Tuesday the 11th morning. The swell is still a hefty 13ft from the ESE (energy of 3724) but the wind swings to a light cross-off from the SSW, making it clean. This is another one for the experienced crew only.
Then, a nice surprise for the Wednesday the 12th morning. The swell drops to 4ft, but it's a super-long period 19-second SSW groundswell, with glassy conditions. That long period will wrap right into the point, offering up some beautifully shaped, clean lines. Not huge, but quality.
The rest of the period is a mix of onshore winds and smaller swell, so the two real standouts are Sunday the 2nd morning for the big, clean power, and Tuesday the 11th morning for the big, clean power, and Wednesday the 12th morning for the silky, long-period point perfection.
Rusty, signing off.
