Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, crew, Rusty here. We're looking at Coogee for the next couple of weeks. This spot's an advanced-level break that's inconsistent, so you gotta pick your moments. It's exposed to south and southeast swells, and when it lines up, it can pump. Crowds are possible sometimes, so keep that in mind. Water temp's sitting at 64°F – pretty average for July.
First up, Sunday July 5 morning: a solid 10ft swell out of the south with an 11-second period. Combined energy is strong at 2247, but the cross-off wind is 19 mph and conditions are described as marginal – not the day. Sunday afternoon and Monday are even worse with strong cross-shore winds and chop.
Tuesday July 7 morning: still 8ft from the SSE, period 10 seconds, energy 1778. Cross-off wind 16 mph, but again only marginal. Same story Wednesday. Thursday July 9 morning drops to 6ft SE with a 10-second period, cross-off 12 mph, energy 853 – still just marginal.
Now here's the standout: Friday July 10 morning. Swell is 6ft from the SE, period 9 seconds, combined energy 591 (moderate). But the wind goes offshore from the WNW at only 6 mph – glassy clean conditions. The forecast says "expect very good surf conditions." That's the pick of the fortnight – a proper window with clean lines and manageable size. That SE swell is exactly what Coogee likes. Friday afternoon fades a bit with a cross-off.
Saturday July 11 morning: 4ft SE, 9 seconds, cross-off 6 mph, energy 387 – still fun but much smaller. Afternoon turns poor.
From Sunday July 12 onward, the swell tanks. Sunday morning 3ft, Monday 1ft, and then we enter a long flat spell. The next hint of anything is Saturday July 18 morning: 2ft from the south, 10 seconds, offshore 9 mph, but only 118 energy – surfable but ordinary. After that, it's tiny and mostly poor. So you're looking at over a week of barely anything through the second half of the period.
Bottom line: if you want the best shot, pencil in Friday July 10 morning at Coogee. It won't be huge but it'll be clean and lined up. After that, the cupboard's pretty bare.
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.
