The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and we’re looking at Coogee for the next couple of weeks.
First up, the first week is a tough one. From Wednesday the 2nd through Sunday the 6th of September, the surf is small and weak. Swell heights are mostly 2ft to 2ft, from the south, with very low energy. Winds are often offshore or cross-off, keeping the surface clean, but there just isn’t enough wave to get excited about. Sunday afternoon sees a bump to 4ft, but it’s onshore and messy.
Monday the 7th morning is a slight improvement: a 4ft south swell, light offshore wind, and moderate energy. It’s a clean, small wave session for the experienced crew.
Then we hit a few days of poor conditions from Tuesday the 8th through Wednesday the 9th – onshore winds, short period, and small waves. Not much going on.
Thursday the 10th of September is the big show. A massive 13ft south swell arrives, with energy over 2500 – that’s powerful. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a solid groundswell. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but the size is for experts only. Over 8ft is big, and 13ft is serious. This is the standout for the big wave crew.
Friday the 11th drops to 6ft, but still solid energy. Light north wind in the morning keeps it tidy.
Saturday the 12th morning is a good one: 4ft south swell, clean offshore wind, good energy. Fun, manageable waves.
The best session of the whole period might be Monday the 14th morning. The wind is glassy – dead calm – with a 6ft east-northeast swell. It’s short period at 7 seconds, but the energy is solid. Rated “very good surf conditions.” That’s the one for clean, head-high waves without the wind.
After that, the swell fades. Tuesday the 15th has a clean 4ft morning, but from Wednesday the 16th, it’s small, windy, and messy. Near gale force winds on the 16th afternoon, and onshore slop to finish.
So, here’s the call: For the big stuff, Thursday the 10th is the day for experts. For clean, fun surf, circle Monday the 14th morning. The rest is small or windy.
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.
