The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. I’ve been staring at the charts for Coney Beach, and I gotta tell you, it’s a tough stretch. There’s a whole lot of nothing happening for a solid run of days. The swell is just pathetic—we’re talking knee-high dribble at best for the first week and a half. The energy is weak, with the combined swell energy struggling to get past that 68 on the 13th, and mostly sitting in the single digits and twenties. It's the kind of surf that has you checking your watch more than the waves.
The wind is a bit of a mixed bag, but honestly, it doesn’t matter much when there’s no wave to push around. You’ll see some clean, glassy mornings, like on the 20th, but the surf is just flat. A few afternoons have a bit of offshore flow, but again, it’s all for nothing. The swell direction is mostly WSW, which is okay for this spot, but the size just isn't there. It's a long, flat, frustrating period.
Now, looking way down the line, the 19th of August (Wednesday morning) starts to show a tiny pulse. We’re looking at a wave height of 2ft with a period of 6 seconds from the west. The energy ticks up to 44, and we get a nice offshore wind. It’s still small, but it’s the first time it looks like you could actually get a few crumbly ones. That’s the pick of a very, very poor bunch.
Then there’s a slight tease on the 23rd (Sunday morning) with another 2ft bump, but the period is short and the wind is howling by the afternoon. Honestly, for a beginner, this is all still pretty manageable size-wise, but the lack of any real swell makes it pointless. This looks like it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers, especially on the windier days.
So, the bottom line is: the next 16 days are a write-off for any real surfing at Coney Beach. There are no standout days, no hidden gems. It’s a long, flat spell. The best you can hope for is a few grovelly waves on a longboard on the morning of the 19th. Keep the board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up.

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.
