The Lowdown
Alright, let’s go again in feet and degrees.
Water temp is about 63°, right on the button for the season. Average.
The first real surf shows Monday the 7th of September. Before that, it’s a ghost town – small dribbles and weak energy from the 3rd through the 6th, not worth the wetsuit.
Monday morning the 7th, Coneeleys Reef sees 4ft from the SSE with a 9-second period, moderate energy (207). Light cross-offshore wind. First decent wave of the run.
Tuesday the 8th morning, swell pushes to 7ft from the south, 8-second period, strong energy at 458. Wind is light cross-shore – some ripples but it’s surfable.
The standout is Friday 11th September morning. 4ft from the south, period 11 seconds, energy 430, and glassy conditions. That’s clean, long-period groundswell. The direction suits the reef. Crowds are likely, so paddle out early.
Sunday the 13th morning: 3ft from the NE, 6-second period, energy 220, glassy again. Small and clean – good for a beginner.
Monday the 14th afternoon: 4ft south swell, 10-second period, offshore WNW winds, energy 337. Clean and groomed.
The 18th of September morning: 8ft from the south, 8 seconds, huge energy at 1407. Experts only out there. Wind is cross-off, so it’ll be big and clean.
Best call: Friday 11th September morning – Coneeleys Reef, glassy, chest to head high, perfect.
Rusty.

Information about the Coneeleys Reef Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coneeleys Reef provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coneeleys Reef can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coneeleys Reef 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. If you surf the same spot (Coneeleys Reef) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Coneeleys Reef 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.
