The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles per hour.
The first few days at Coogee are a bit of a write-off with onshore breeze and chop. The first real chance to get wet is on Monday the 20th in the morning. The wind swings offshore from the WNW, and the surf cleans right up. Swell is around 6ft from the ENE with a 11-second period, which is a nice groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (766). Water temp is about 62°, a bit cooler than average for this time of year.
That Monday morning session is the best on offer. The offshore wind and clean conditions will make for some solid peaks. Just be aware that crowds can show up here, so timing is everything.
Next up, Friday the 24th in the morning is another good one. Offshore WSW wind, 6ft of S swell at 10 seconds, and a combined energy of 702. That’s a proper pulse for the advanced crew.
Second week is pretty flat. There’s a slight chance on Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon with light offshore wind and a little 4ft E swell, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Long-range forecasts are shaky, so don’t plan around it.
The standout is Monday morning the 20th of July. Clean, offshore, and a decent groundswell. Get out there.
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.
