G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down the Coffs Harbour-North Wall stretch over the next couple of weeks. This point break loves a SE swell, and we’ve got a fair bit of that coming in. But the opening days are a bit much: Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th are cranking with solid 10 ft to 12 ft SE groundswell – that’s too big for this spot. Wind is cross-off, so the waves would be clean, but the size is only for the brave. The water temp is about 68 °F, normal for this time of year.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th drop to around 5 ft to 7 ft, cross-off wind, period shortening to 10 seconds. Energy is moderate, but the forecast flags marginal conditions – likely tricky tides or lumpy shape.

Saturday the 11th morning is a gem: glassy with a light NNW offshore and 4 ft SE swell at 9 seconds. Clean face, and though crowds are “often” here, early gives you a chance. Sunday the 12th morning stays clean with a light SW offshore and 3 ft ESE swell, but energy is fading. Monday the 13th goes tiny – 2 ft to 3 ft and almost no energy. Surf dries up through Wednesday the 15th morning – a few small pulses but nothing worth rushing.

Now the real standout: Thursday the 16th morning – clean 4 ft SSE swell with a gentle offshore (SSW 15 km/h) and energy of 699. Fun size. Thursday afternoon gets rowdy – 8 ft S groundswell with a 16-second period, energy spiking to 5486. That’s expert territory, but if you’re experienced, the point could dish out long barrels.

But the pick of the whole run is Friday the 17th morning. Swell is 8 ft from the S, period 12 seconds, with a SSW offshore at 15 km/h. Energy is 2326 – strong but well‑shaped. Forecast rates it excellent for experienced surfers. The point will handle that size beautifully with offshore wind holding the faces. Crowds are “often”, but a big swell like that might thin the pack.

After that, Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th see smaller 4 ft to 5 ft SE swell with glassy mornings – good for a relaxed session. Then Monday the 20th onward fades to tiny 2 ft to 4 ft and weak energy. The run ends by Wednesday the 22nd.

Best bet: Friday the 17th morning. That’s the one. Thursday the 16th morning is a solid second choice for cleaner, smaller waves. Otherwise, grab the glassy mornings around the 11th and 19th for a little fun.

Stay frothy.

Information about the Coffs Harbour-North Wall Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Coffs Harbour-North Wall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coffs Harbour-North Wall surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Coffs Harbour-North Wall may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
