The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Looks like we've got a solid run of surf coming our way at Colas (Cokes), a reef break that's an advanced-only affair. The water's sitting at 85°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there.
The action kicks off Wednesday the 26th, but it's a slow start. The morning has a bit of cross-chop on it at 3ft from the SSW, and the energy's weak at 592, so it's a bit of a letdown. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a light cross-off breeze, making it look a lot more inviting. The real show starts to build from Thursday the 27th. The morning brings 4ft of SSW swell, with a long 16-second period and moderate energy (1015), and it's clean. This is where it starts to get interesting for those who know what they're doing.
The standout window is from Sunday the 30th through to Monday the 31st. Sunday morning has 5ft from the SSW, a very long 19-second period, and strong energy at 1806. The wind is a gentle cross-off, keeping it clean. Sunday afternoon pushes it further with 6ft and 2126 of energy. Then Monday the 31st morning is the peak: 6ft of SSW swell, 16-second period, 2036 energy, and still that clean cross-off wind. These are the sessions to circle on your calendar. The swell's getting up there though – over 5ft, so it's not for the groms, and it's an advanced reef anyway.
After that, the surf settles a bit but remains fun through the start of September. The first week of September sees a shift to a more S and SSE direction, with the swell hanging around 5ft to 6ft, and period dropping to 10-12 seconds. The wind stays light and clean, often cross-off. There's a gorgeous glassy spell on the 6th and 7th of September with 5ft to 4ft SSE swell and zero wind – perfect conditions for a long session. The 8th and 9th see a return to longer-period SSW swell around 3ft to 4ft, with clean conditions again. The 10th of September looks tidy too, with 4ft SSW at 15 seconds.
Overall, this is a cracking 16-day run. The highlight is definitely the big, clean Sunday 30th to Monday 31st window. Don't sleep on it.
Rusty.

Information about the Colas (Cokes) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Colas (Cokes) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Colas (Cokes) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Colas (Cokes) 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.
