Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coney Beach over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk Coney Beach. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this whole 16-day stretch is flat as a pancake. There’s barely anything to ride, and what’s there is small, choppy, or both. If you’re itching to get wet, you’ll be fighting for a bump, but there’s no real surf to speak of.
Starting Thursday, 9th July, we’ve got a tiny 0.7ft swell from the west, period around 9 seconds, and weak energy (11). The wind’s a light cross-off, which would keep things clean, but the waves are just too small. That’s your preview for the next week and a half.
Friday, 10th July sees the swell bump to 1ft from the WSW, still weak energy (28). Morning’s a cross-on from the ESE, making it choppy, but by afternoon a light NNE cross-off cleans it up. Still, 1ft isn’t gonna get your heart racing. Saturday, 11th July drops back to 0.7ft, cross-shore east wind, period only 8 seconds. Not worth paddling out.
Sunday, 12th July through Tuesday, 14th July is more of the same—tiny swell, often under 2ft, with fresh cross-shore winds messing things up. Energy readings are pathetic, mostly single digits (5–29). You’re better off on the beach with a cold one.
From Wednesday, 15th July right through to the end, there’s a long stretch of almost no surf. Heights hover around 0.3ft to 0.7ft, periods all over the place from 3 to 18 seconds, but zero power behind them. Energy values are all below 30, and on Monday, 20th July and Wednesday, 22nd July the swell flatlines—zero energy. Even when the wind turns offshore or cross-off, like Saturday, 18th July and Sunday, 19th July, the waves are too weak to matter. The biggest we see is 2ft on Sunday, 19th July morning and Wednesday, 22nd July morning, both from the west, but the period is short at 5–6 seconds. Just weak, crumbly junk.
Water temp back on 9th July was 66°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—a 7°F anomaly—so you won’t need a thick wetsuit for a float, but don’t expect to surf. Coney Beach is a sheltered beginner spot, sheltered from most swell, so these long flat runs are pretty typical. It’s not a place that lights up.
There’s no standout day, no time to get excited. If the wind’s light and offshore, you might catch a tiny ripple on the cleanest mornings, like Sunday, 19th July or Monday, 20th July, but I wouldn’t call it surfing. Keep an eye out—forecasts can change—but right now? It’s a total dud.
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.
