Alright, let’s break this down. I’ve had a look at everything for Coney Beach, and it’s a tough run. The whole 16 days is basically one long flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. No standout sessions at all. The swell’s tiny, the wind’s messy more often than not, and there’s no energy.
Starting Monday the 6th of July, we’ve got a dinky 1ft swell from the WSW. The water is 65°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year – about 6 degrees above average. That’s strange. The wind is cross-offshore at 9 mph, so the surface is clean, but there’s no power. Same story Tuesday the 7th, with a bit more period, but still only 1ft and weak energy.
Wednesday the 8th is glassy in the morning with a light cross-shore breeze, but it’s still just 1ft and the energy is low. Thursday the 9th has a glassy start with a 10-second period, and the energy ticks up a little, but the height is still a puny 1ft. Clean but gutless.
Friday the 10th shows the swell nudge up to 1ft with a 9-second period and some offshore NNW wind in the afternoon – that’s the cleanest conditions of the whole run – but the energy is still very low and it’s barely a ripple. Saturday the 11th drops back to 0.7ft with onshore winds. Not worth it.
From Sunday the 12th all the way through to Tuesday the 21st of July, it’s messy. Swell heights bounce between 0.3ft and 2ft, periods are mostly short and all over the place, and the wind is cross, cross-on, or onshore with moderate to fresh breezes. On the 12th, we get a 1ft swell from the ENE with a terrible 3-second period and a fresh 19 mph cross breeze, making ugly chop. On the 13th, there’s a tiny 0.3ft swell from the SW with a very long 19-second period – that’s a groundswell – but at that height, you’d need binoculars. Still no power.
The only faint look is the afternoon of the 21st, with 1ft from the SW at 8 seconds, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross breeze, so it’ll be lumpy.
For the next two weeks at Coney Beach, I wouldn’t bother waxing up. It’s a sheltered spot, and when the swell’s this small and the wind’s this persistent, there’s just no surf. A few days will be clean, but you’d be floating out there. Forecasts can always change, but right now it’s a long dry spell.

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