Alright, let’s see what’s shaping up for Coffs Harbour-North Wall.
We’re in a flat patch to kick things off. The first surf worth paddling for is Monday morning, July 13, but it’s weak. Tiny 2ft swell from the ESE with a short 8-second period. Wave energy is feeble at 85. It’s glassy though, so if you’re keen on a limp session, you can get a few.
Tuesday the 14th is even smaller—0.7ft from the east with a 10-second period, but it’s offshore from the SSW, so clean. Energy is just 18. Not worth rushing.
Wednesday morning the 15th stays tiny and clean, but Wednesday afternoon the swell jumps to 6ft from the SSE, short 7-second period, with a fresh 30 km/h south wind. Energy climbs to 328. This is a messy, wind-affected mess. With this setup and that wind, it’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Thursday the 16th brings 6ft to 7ft from the SSE/SE, still short period (7 seconds), cross-offshore winds at 25-35 km/h. Energy hits 460. It’s clean-ish but unruly. Only for experienced surfers.
Friday morning the 17th offers a marginal 6ft SE swell, 7-second period, cross-offshore winds. Energy is 311. Surfable if you’re desperate.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are the build. Saturday afternoon has 7ft from the ESE at 8 seconds, energy 594. Sunday the 19th is the standout: morning has 8ft from the ESE, 9 seconds, energy 886; afternoon hits 7ft from the east, 9 seconds, and energy skyrockets to 1441. That’s strong, proper wave energy. Winds are cross-offshore from the SSE at 20-25 km/h, so it’s clean. This is the best of the run. The swell direction is slightly east of the optimum SE, but it’s still pushing well for this point. Water temp is about 68°F, average for this time of year.
That Sunday afternoon is your top pick, but it’s a week out, so stay tuned. After that, Monday the 20th drops to 5-6ft from the east, 9-second period, winds turn cross-shore, energy drops to 459-520. Tuesday the 21st morning goes glassy with 4ft from the east, 9 seconds, energy 292. Clean and fun for a longboard. From Wednesday the 22nd, it fades to 3ft and below with onshore breezes. Not worth it.
The clear standout is Sunday, July 19, especially the afternoon. That 7ft east swell with 9-second period and cross-offshore wind will have the North Wall running clean and powerful. It’s over 2m (7ft), so expert only. Crowds are likely—expect company.
Stay sharp, and I’ll see you out there.
