The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Coogee over the next couple of weeks.

First up, we've got a bit of a slow start. The first few days aren't offering much to get excited about, with tiny, weak swell. The real action starts to build from Thursday the 30th of July. That's when a solid S swell starts pushing in around 5ft, with a period of 9 seconds, and it's got a clean, cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (403). It's a good, solid start to the run.

Thursday the 30th sees building swell, but the wind gets tricky in the afternoon. The real standout is Friday the 31st of July. The morning session is looking the pick of the week. We've got a solid 7ft S swell, with a 10-second period, and clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is pumping (1680) – that's strong, powerful surf. The swell's a bit on the bigger side, so this is one for the experienced crew. It's a point, reef, and beach setup, so it can handle the size. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Saturday the 1st of August brings a nice drop in size to a more manageable 5ft from the SSE, with a 10-second period and light, clean cross-offshore winds. The energy is moderate (395). This is a great option for a wider range of surfers, though with the quality on offer, expect crowds at this spot.

There's a good pulse filling in from the 6th of August. Thursday the 6th of August is a standout. The morning has a 7ft S swell with a 10-second period and clean offshore winds – very good conditions. The afternoon gets even bigger, pushing 10ft from the S, with a long 11-second period. That's a massive amount of energy (3376), but it's a solid, powerful groundswell. With that size and a beach/reef setup, this is a big-wave day for experts only. It's a real highlight, but it's over a week away, so keep an eye on the forecast.

The second week has a few more fun windows. The morning of the 7th of August will have a clean 6ft SSE swell, and the 8th of August morning has a clean 5ft SSE swell. After that, the swell backs off towards the end of the run. The 12th of August morning has a clean 5ft SSE swell, another solid option.

Overall, the best sessions are Friday the 31st of July morning and Thursday the 6th of August morning. The 6th has the bigger, more powerful swell, but the 31st is a cleaner, more accessible size with great conditions. Both are worth marking on the calendar.

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.
