The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same story but in feet and miles per hour.
Coney Beach is looking pretty quiet over the next sixteen days. Not much to write home about.
We start Monday the 14th with waves around 3ft from the WSW, but a cross-shore wind of 15 mph and poor conditions mean it’s a no-go. The combined swell energy is weak (214, dropping to 137 in the afternoon). Leave the board on the car.
Tuesday the 15th brings a bit more size, about 5ft from the west, but with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore at 19 mph, which cleans it up, but the energy is still moderate (181) and the surf is labelled poor. Not your day.
Wednesday the 16th morning is the one to watch. Waves around 4ft from the west, a 9-second period, and an offshore wind from the NW at 15 mph. The combined energy hits a moderate 338, and conditions are clean. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The window closes in the afternoon, so be there early.
After that, the first week fades into small, messy surf. Friday the 18th morning goes glassy with 3ft from the west, but the energy is weak (100) and it’s still called poor conditions.
The second week, from the 20th onward, is flat. Swell sizes drop to 1ft to 2ft, periods are short, and the energy readings are in the weak range. There are glassy mornings on the 21st, 23rd, and 25th, but with waves that tiny, you’re just floating around.
Your best bet is Wednesday the 16th morning. Coney Beach gets a 4ft west swell with offshore wind and clean conditions. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only real option in the whole run.
The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 66°, but the surf just isn’t there. A dry spell like this is pretty normal for this spot when the forecasts look this way. It won’t stay this way forever, but for now, take a break.
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.
Coney Beach is 1 km (1 miles) from Porthcawl. If you plan a holiday in Wales - South East, look for hotels and other accommodation in Porthcawl. Porthcawl has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
