The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, looking at what’s on offer for Coogee over the next couple of weeks.

Alright, it’s a bit of a slow start, but we’ve got a couple of moments that’ll get the blood pumping. The first real action kicks off this Friday morning, the 24th of July. The swell is 6ft from the south, and the cross-offshore wind from the southwest is cleaning things up nicely. The combined energy is a moderate 882, and with the water temp sitting at 63°F – pretty much normal for this time of year – you’ll be comfy in a wetsuit. The only catch is that Coogee is a beach, reef, and point setup, and it’s inconsistent. But when it’s on, it’s on. Friday morning looks like the best early window.

Saturday morning, the 25th, is a solid shout too. We’ve got a clean 5ft south swell with a proper offshore wind from the west. The period is 11 seconds, giving it some nice push. The energy is a moderate 610. This is a classic winter morning – get out there early.

Sunday morning, the 26th, is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell is still 5ft from the south, but the wind is more cross-offshore from the WSW, so not as clean as Saturday. It’s surfable, but the quality takes a hit.

Then we hit a real dry patch. From Monday morning, the 27th, right through to the end of July, it’s mostly poor. The swell drops away, the wind turns onshore, and the energy falls into the low two-digit range. You’d be wasting your time. There’s a gap of about six days where it’s basically flat or messy.

Now, hold onto your board, because Sunday, the 2nd of August, is the standout. Sunday morning is a monster. A 15ft south swell, with a period of 12 seconds and a massive combined energy of 5073. That’s serious power. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, and the morning is described as “exceptional for expert surfers” – and I wouldn’t argue with that. This is for the experienced crew only; anything over 8ft is expert territory, and this is well past that. It’s a big, powerful groundswell, so expect long lulls between sets, but the waves will be worth the wait.

Monday morning, the 3rd of August, is still solid, with a 8ft swell from the SSE, but the period is shorter at 8 seconds, and the wind is stronger. It’s a secondary option for the brave.

Looking further ahead, Friday morning, the 7th of August, is another one to circle. A 8ft swell from the ESE with a 13-second period and a clean cross-offshore wind from the SW. The energy is a strong 1736, and it’s rated as “excellent for experienced surfers.” This is a proper groundswell, so it’ll be powerful and clean.

The long-range Saturday morning, the 8th of August, is a bit smaller at 4ft, but with a pure offshore wind from the WNW, it’ll be worth a paddle if the swell holds up.

So, the real pick of the bunch is the morning of the 2nd of August – that’s the one to rearrange your schedule for. The 7th of August is a solid backup. The rest is a waiting game.

Rusty out.

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.
