The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks. The data shows nothing but "poor surf conditions" across the entire 16-day window, so don’t expect to be waxing up anytime soon.
We’ve got a massive gap of quiet days right from the start. The first chance to even dip a toe in won’t come until Monday, July 27th, which is a full week away. Before that, we’re staring at tiny, flat dribble. For example, on Sunday, July 19th morning at Coney Beach, you’re looking at a pathetic 0.3 ft of swell from the west, with a period of just 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is a measly 2 – weak as dishwater. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s not even clean. That’s the theme for the whole first week: tiny, weak swell and poor conditions.
Even when we get to Monday, July 27th, it’s a struggle. The morning session offers the best (and really, the only) sniff of surf. We get a 3 ft swell from the west-southwest, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy ticks up to 44 (moderate), and the wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WNW. It’s not big, but it’s the only thing that’s even remotely rideable. The water is about average for this time of year, so the sting won’t be too bad. Later that afternoon, the swell drops back to 0.7 ft and the wind picks up to a fresh 19 mph, so it’s a one-session window, really.
The following days barely improve. Tuesday, July 28th morning shows a similar story: 2 ft from the west, period of 9 seconds, and a clean cross-off wind. The energy is 59 (moderate). It’s doable, but nothing to write home about. After that, it’s back to ankle-biters with fresh, lumpy winds for the remainder of the run into early August. Honestly, this is a classic case of an area that can go quiet. It’s a blank run, but it’s not unusual for the location. The forecasts can always change, so keep your eyes peeled, but for now, the board stays in the car.
Stay patient.
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.
