The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the local surf rundown for Coney Beach.
It’s gonna be a pretty quiet stretch, to be honest. There’s a bit of swell filtering in, but it’s never really gonna fire up here. The wave energy is low for most of the run, and the conditions are a real mixed bag. We’ve got a few mornings with offshore winds that might clean things up, but the swell is pretty weak. The water is feeling incredibly warm for this time of year, about 66°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual – that’s very unusual.
The first half of the week shows a little pulse. Tuesday the 8th kicks off with some light rain and a 5ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a cross-off NW breeze at 16 mph, which isn’t ideal. The combined energy is only 355 (moderate energy), but the surf is a bit messy. Wednesday morning the 9th is your best bet in the short term. The wind swings offshore from the NW at 12 mph, and we’ve got a 3ft swell from the WSW with a short 8-second period. The energy is low at 134 (moderate), but the offshore breeze will at least make it clean and rideable. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Thursday through to the weekend, the swell drops right off. Thursday morning the 10th sees the swell drop to 1.0ft, and the wind goes cross-on. Not worth paddling out. Friday the 11th morning has a bit of a rebound with 4ft swell and offshore wind again, but the energy is only 184 (moderate) and the look is “ordinary.” It’s about the best we’ll see, but it’s still a struggle.
After that, it’s a long gap. From Saturday the 12th all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 23rd, the swell hovers between 0.3ft and 2ft. The wind is rarely on our side, and the wave energy is pathetic – mostly two-digit figures, getting as low as 9 (weak energy). There are long periods of glassy conditions on the 18th and 19th, but with only 0.7ft to 1.0ft of swell, you’re looking at a flat lake. It’s a tough run for surfers.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, the Wednesday morning the 9th is the only thing that looks even remotely surfable, with a clean offshore wind and a waist-high wave. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off, so maybe get the gear out for a kite session if that’s your thing, because the waves just aren’t here for paddling.
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.
