The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Coney Beach is flat-out quiet for a long run. This spot isn’t known for pumping waves, and this 16-day forecast backs that up. There’s a big gap of nothing worthwhile until the second week, so keep your expectations low.
Starting Friday the 21st, the swell is tiny – just 2ft from the west, period a short 9 seconds, and the energy is a weak 39. Water temp is 69°, way warmer than usual for this time of year. Wind is light from the NNW, so it’s clean, but there’s zero power. Saturday the 22nd morning is glassy with a 1ft WSW swell and only 28 energy – absolute knee-high dribble. Sunday and Monday get worse with cross-onshore breezes and barely a ripple.
There’s a slight pulse mid-week, but it’s ugly. Wednesday the 26th afternoon sees a 3ft SW swell with 138 energy, but the wind is onshore from the SE and there’s a risk of thunderstorms – messy and blown out. Thursday the 27th morning goes glassy again with a 3ft WSW swell, but it’s still weak at 73 energy and short period. Not worth the drive.
Your best bet – the only real highlight – is Friday the 4th of September. That’s more than two weeks out. We get a 5ft WSW swell, period 8 seconds, with 233 energy. The wind is offshore from the north, keeping it clean and lined up. Saturday morning the 5th is even better for an early session: 4ft WSW swell, glassy with a light NW breeze, and 252 energy. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so get in early.
Everything else is flat and forgettable. Mark those two days and forget the rest.

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.
