The Lowdown

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

Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with small, weak swell and not much to write home about. The water temp is sitting at a pretty average 63°, nothing unusual for this time of year.

The real standout is Friday morning, the 24th of July. That's when we see a proper pulse of south swell rolling in at 7 ft, and it's packing some serious energy (1185). This is not for the faint-hearted – at over 8 ft, this is strictly for the experienced crew. The wind is clean and cross-off, so the conditions will be good, but that's a lot of water moving around. The period is 9 seconds, which is a decent short-period swell, so it'll be punchy. This is easily the best on offer.

We get another decent window on Saturday morning, the 25th of July. The swell drops to 5 ft from the south, but the period stretches out to 11 seconds, giving it more groundswell quality. The wind is offshore and clean, which is a major positive. The energy is still solid (514). This is a good session for the intermediate crew who can handle a bit of size.

After that, the surf backs off significantly. There's a long gap of flat, poor conditions, or very small, messy waves through to the end of July and into the start of August. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is small and weak. It's a proper lull.

We do see a bit of a pulse return on Saturday afternoon, the 1st of August. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the south, but it's got a short 6-second period, making it a bit of a windswell mess. The wind is offshore, so it could be clean, but the quality will be lacking. The energy is moderate (239). It's a possible, but not a standout.

The final call is Monday morning, the 3rd of August. The swell is 5 ft from the east, with a clean offshore wind and a moderate 8-second period. The energy is moderate (316). It's a decent, clean option after the lull, but nothing to get too excited about.

Overall, the clear winner is Friday morning, the 24th of July, for the big-swell crew. Saturday morning, the 25th of July, is the best bet for the rest of us. The rest of the window is mostly a write-off, with a few clean but small windows.

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.
