The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Coney Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat start. The first week or so is a write-off with hardly any swell to speak of. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves through the end of July and into the first few days of August. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, mostly under 20, and the period is short and gutless. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find something knee-high, but it’s not worth getting wet for.
The one real standout, and the only time I’d get excited, is on Wednesday, August 5th. A solid pulse of swell is forecast to roll in, with a main swell from the WSW at about 7ft in the morning, building to about 8ft in the afternoon, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 798 (morning) and 958 (afternoon), which is some serious power. The wind is light and glassy in the morning, then cross-off in the afternoon, so it should be clean. Now, that size is going to be too big for beginners and honestly, with the swell that strong, it’s pushing into expert-only territory, especially for a break that’s described as sheltered. It’s going to be a wild, powerful wave, and if you’re not on your game, it’ll eat you up. The crowds are listed as "sometimes", so you might have some company, but with conditions this good, expect a few locals out.
The day after, on Thursday, August 6th, the swell backs off to a much more manageable 4ft in the morning, but the energy is still moderate (146) and the wind is light and cross-off, making for clean conditions. It’s a surfable wave but nothing special, just ordinary.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak leftovers for the rest of the second week. So, for the whole 16-day window, your only real shot at something decent is that one big day on the 5th. If you’re a competent surfer, mark it in your calendar.
Rusty.

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.
