Coogee Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Coogee.

Alright, mate, it’s a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks at Coogee. The first few days are small and ordinary, so don’t get too excited just yet. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is pretty average for this time of year, no real surprise there.

Right, the first real window to look at is Friday the 4th in the morning. Overnight, we’ve got a little pulse of southerly swell coming in at 4ft, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the WNW. That’s a clean combo, and the wave energy is moderate (273). It’s not huge, but it’ll be the first decent option. Coogee is a beach, reef and point setup, exposed to the S, and this is in that zone.

Now, the standout. Circle Monday the 7th morning in your head. That morning is looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW and a solid 4ft S swell. The wave energy has bumped up to moderate (235). It’s not going to be a monster, but it’ll have shape and you’ll find some fun ones without a crowd if you’re early. That’s the pick of the early run.

Tuesday the 8th morning is a different beast. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SSE, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a crumbly, wind-affected mess. The energy is up (379), but forget it for a clean paddle. This setup looks more like a kite-surfing day with a moderate cross-shore.

Then we get a quiet patch through the middle of the week until Thursday the 10th morning. Look out, because there’s a jump to 8ft from the S, and the energy hits a strong 1182. The wind is SSW at 18 mph, cross-off. Now, this is big – too big for beginners, and for experienced surfers only. Early might be manageable.

But the real highlight, the one to save the date for, is Friday the 11th morning. The swell is a meaty 7ft from the SSE with a solid 12-second period. The wind is glassy, mate. Dead calm. The wave energy is pumping at a very strong 1171. This is excellent for experienced surfers – clean, powerful, and offering some serious waves at Coogee. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook. Grab it.

After that, it drops off again. The weekend brings more wind on the shore and small, choppy conditions. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are not worth the drive unless you want a flat, messy session. Monday the 14th is cross-on and lumpy. There’s a tiny window on Wednesday the 16th afternoon with a clean 4ft from the S and a cross-off wind, but it’s only marginal and far out.

Second week is slim pickings, to be honest. Nothing really stands out after that Friday the 11th. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don't hold your breath.

Rusty out.
