The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what Coogee's got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, so we've gotta pick our moments.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Friday the 31st kicks off with some knee to waist-high southerly swell, but the wind is a mess – cross-off then cross – and the wave energy is all over the shop. It’s not worth paddling out for.
The weekend doesn't start much better. Saturday morning the 1st has a bit of chest-high 5ft southeasterly swell with a light breeze, but the whole day gets a low score. It's just not lining up.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Our real standout window is Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell pumping in from the SSE with a very long 12-second period, meaning proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a solid 739 (moderate), and with a light NNW cross-off breeze, Coogee (beach reef and point) is going to be glassy and lined up. This is a morning for a point board or a reef board, as that long period will make the peaks hold up nicely. It’s an advanced wave, and it’s inconsistent, so you'll need to be patient, but the quality will be there.
The good news keeps rolling into Wednesday afternoon, the 5th of August. This is our second standout. We get a clean 6ft southerly swell with an even better 11-second period, and the offshore WSW wind will have those waves standing up tall. Combined energy hits a strong 695. This is another session for the experienced crew.
After that, things get a bit more patchy. We've got some clean windows with offshore winds in the mornings around the 8th and 9th, but the swell drops off a cliff after that. From about the 10th of August onward, it's a long, slow fade. You’ll see some small, weak swells and a lot of windy, junky days, especially around the 13th and 14th when those strong SSW winds just wreck everything. There will be a big gap of a few days with nothing worth chasing.
So to wrap it up: Sunday the 2nd morning is the absolute pick of the bunch, with Wednesday the 5th afternoon coming in a close second. The rest is mostly a waiting game.
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.
