The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Coogee stretch.

To be straight with you, the next couple of days are a bit of a flat spell. We’ve got some swell on the way, but the first real chance to get wet with anything decent doesn’t really kick off until Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. From there, it’s a mixed bag right through the 16-day window.

The standout window is Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell rolling in from the SSE, with a long-period groundswell of 12 seconds. That’s gonna pack a punch and the combined energy is sitting at a solid 743 (moderate). The wind is a light NNW cross-off, so it’s gonna be clean, with the wave face nicely groomed. This is the best you’ll see for the next week. The only thing is, Coogee (beach, reef, and point) is an advanced break, and it can be inconsistent, so don’t expect a wave every minute. Still, the quality is there for those who know the lineup.

The water temp is sitting at 63°F, which is about 1°F cooler than normal for this time of year. Not a huge shock, but you’ll feel that winter chill if you’re not in a decent wetsuit.

After that Sunday morning session, the swell drops right off. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are tiny, with nothing worth paddling out for. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th see a bit of energy return, with 5ft to 6ft on the S swell, but the wind goes messy on the afternoons. Thursday morning the 6th is a better call with a 5ft S swell, 9-second period, and a light offshore W wind. Combined energy 337 (moderate). It’s surfable, but not the standout.

Now, lookin’ way out, Saturday morning, the 15th of August is a real eye-opener for the experienced crew. This is a long-range call, so don’t pin your whole week on it, but the data is mouthwatering. The swell is only 3ft, but it’s coming from the SSE with a *very long* 21-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a massive 1195 (strong). The wind is a light NNW cross-off, making it glassy. This is a long-period beast, so it’ll be better at the point and reef sections of Coogee, hitting the banks with real power. For the expert surfer, this is the one to watch.

The following Sunday morning, the 16th of August, has a 4ft S swell at 13 seconds, but with a cross-on ESE wind, it’s not as clean. The afternoons get bigger, with a 8ft SSE swell on the 16th, but it’s onshore and messy. That’s a lot of power (2152 combined energy, strong), but only for the experts if the wind cooperates – and it won’t be pretty.

Overall, if you’re keen, get out there Sunday morning the 2nd, and keep your eyes peeled for that Saturday morning the 15th.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
