Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coogee over the next 16 days.
Alright, I'm looking at Coogee for the next couple of weeks. The start is quiet, but if you know when to go, there are some proper windows.
It's pretty flat out of the gate. We get a small bump on Saturday, July 11th, with 4ft of SE swell and a 9-second period. The morning is your window with a cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions, the energy is reading a moderate 370. The arvo wind turns onshore. Then the surf completely dies. Expect a gap of several days through Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday with nothing rideable. Stay home, wax your board.
Then, on Wednesday, July 15th, things fire up. A big southerly groundswell arrives, peaking at 10ft on Wednesday morning with a 10-second period and a massive energy reading of 2611. That's strong. 10ft is strictly for experts. The cross-off wind will make Coogee a grinding, powerful wave. The swell holds through Wednesday arvo at 7ft and Thursday morning at 6ft, but the period shortens, making it a bit less quality, especially as the wind gets more side-shore.
The next real gem is a bit different. On Thursday, July 23rd, the morning starts clean with a 3ft S swell and 10-second period under a solid offshore. Energy is moderate at 244. That's a solid, clean session. But the real standout is Thursday afternoon. The wind goes light, and we get a tiny 2ft swell from the south with a massive 19-second period and 337 energy. That's a long-period groundswell. For a wave that small, that period will produce perfectly lined-up, peelable walls on the point. It's going to be clean, glassy, and just fun. Expect company, as everyone will be on it. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
After that, going into the last week of July, the energy drops back into double digits and the swells weaken. Nothing worth a dawn patrol.
So my pick is that Thursday afternoon, July 23rd, for the glass and the long lines. For the big dog session, that Wednesday morning, July 15th, for the experts only.

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.
