Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coogee over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Coogee has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are looking pretty average with messy, cross-shore winds and waves that just aren't holding together. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is pretty much where you'd expect it for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope comes early on Saturday morning, July 11th. We’ll see a clean 4ft swell from the SE with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW. The energy is weak (370), so it’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be a fun, small-wave session for those who just need to get wet. Saturday afternoon turns ugly with a NE onshore chop, so make it a dawn patrol.
Things go flat and quiet from Sunday the 12th right through until Tuesday the 14th. We’re talking knee-high dribble at best, with hardly any energy in the water. A proper dead spell.
We get a nasty spike of energy on Wednesday the 15th with a big, short-period S swell (4ft to 10ft) but it’s accompanied by a near-gale force SSE wind. The sea state will be a complete mess. That trend continues into the middle of the next week with huge, powerful swells (16ft and up) from the SSE, but the wind stays onshore and howling. The combined energy readings are massive (over 5000, and even 6518 on the 18th), but it's all just blown-out chaos. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Now, for the standout. Sunday the 19th of July. The swell drops back to a solid 10ft from the SE, and the wind finally eases. The period stretches out to 11 seconds, giving it some proper groundswell grunt. The energy is still strong (2591), but with a gentle cross-shore breeze, the sets will be lined up and clean. This is only for experienced surfers, as anything over 8ft is expert territory. It’s a big, powerful ocean, but the conditions will be the best we’ve seen in a long time.
The following Monday morning, the 20th, is also worth a look. The swell drops to 6ft from the SE, but we get a clean, light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW. The energy is still moderate (812), and the waves will be far more manageable. A great option for the advanced crew who might have found Sunday a bit too heavy.
The last real highlight is on Friday the 24th. We’ve got a nice 7ft SE groundswell (11 seconds) with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WNW. The energy is moderate (1043), and the conditions are set to be excellent for experienced surfers. It’s a long way out, so it’s promising but less certain, but it’s definitely one to keep an eye on.
Rusty.

Information about the Coogee Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coogee provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coogee can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coogee 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 (Coogee) 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 Coogee 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.
Coogee is 3 km (2 miles) from Randwick. If you plan a holiday in Sydney South Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Randwick. Randwick has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
