Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coogee over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s have a look at what Coogee’s got cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
First up, I gotta be straight with ya – the first week is a real struggle. We’re talkin’ Sunday the 12th right through to Saturday the 18th, and it’s mostly a write-off. The swell’s tiny, the wind’s messy, and the scores are just not there. You’ll see a bit of a pulse mid-week, but it’s all cross-shore chop and poor conditions. Don’t bother paddling out unless you’re just after a swim.
Now, things start to get interesting from Sunday the 19th. That’s when we see a proper groundswell from the east pushin’ through. By Monday morning the 20th, Coogee is lookin’ like the standout. We’ve got a 7ft easterly swell with a long 11-second period, and the wind is light and offshore from the NW – clean, glassy conditions. The combined energy is strong at 1228, so there’s real power behind it. This is an advanced break though, and with that size, it’s for experienced surfers only. The swell direction from the east is right on the money for Coogee’s optimum. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so expect a few locals out.
Wednesday the 22nd morning is another cracker. Clean offshore wind from the west, 5ft east swell, and a very long 13-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is 1150. This one’s also for the experienced crew – the longer period will make the waves shape up nicely, but it might break a bit straight on the beach sections. The reef and points should handle it well.
From Thursday the 23rd, the wind gets a bit more tricky, but there’s still swell around. Friday the 24th afternoon has a nice 5ft ESE swell with a 12-second period and clean offshore wind from the west – that’s a solid option for the advanced surfer. Water temp is around 64°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The second week is a bit more hit and miss. Saturday the 25th has some clean conditions but the wind is a bit strong. By Sunday the 26th, the swell drops right off, and we’re back to small stuff. Monday the 27th is tiny.
So, if you’re lookin’ for the best, lock in Monday the 20th and Wednesday the 22nd mornings. That’s the real deal. Everything else is a gamble.

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.
