Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coogee over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to feet and Fahrenheit. Coogee is a beach-reef-and-point setup that’s exposed to swell, but it’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers. Water temp is around 63°F right now, about normal for this time of year. The next 16 days have a few windows worth paddling out for, but you’ve got to pick your moments.
Right now, Sunday the 19th is a write-off – cross-on wind, weak energy, just messy. Monday morning the 20th is the first real chance: a clean cross-off breeze from the WNW, 5.6ft ENE swell with an 11-second period, and combined energy of 778 – that’s moderate but solid. It’ll be clean, but Coogee is inconsistent, so don’t expect a non-stop conveyor belt. The afternoon gets chopped by a NE breeze, so go early.
Tuesday the 21st morning is similar but smaller – 4.3ft, 10 seconds, still clean. Afternoon again ruined by onshore wind. Wednesday the 22nd morning has a light offshore from the W, but the swell drops to 3.3ft and energy is only 195 – surfable but ordinary. Thursday the 23rd is a mess with strong WSW wind, even though the swell shifts to S. Friday the 24th though – that’s a nice little run. Light offshore wind both morning and afternoon, 4.3ft to 4.6ft S swell, period 9-10 seconds, energy building to 440. Clean, fun, but not massive.
Saturday the 25th morning is still okay with moderate offshore, 3.0ft S swell but a longer period of 12 seconds – that’ll give some nice lines. Energy 287, moderate. But the afternoon gets hammered by a 22 mph offshore, so it’s blown out. Sunday the 26th brings a bigger pulse: 6.6ft S swell with 11 seconds, energy 1466 – strong. But the wind is cross-off from the SSW, and the forecast calls it marginal. Might be lumpy. Monday the 27th morning has light offshore and 3.9ft S swell, 8 seconds, energy 222 – clean but short period, so not much shape.
The real standout comes at the end of the month. Friday the 31st afternoon – light cross-off wind, 4.9ft S swell, 9 seconds, energy 567, and it’s expected to be very good. Clean and fun. Then the weekend of August 1st and 2nd is the big one. Saturday morning the 1st: 9.
Short Range ForecastMostly dry. Very mild (max 18°C on Wed morning, min 11°C on Mon morning). Wind will be generally light. | Days 5-7 Weather SummaryMostly dry. Very mild (max 19°C on Wed afternoon, min 8°C on Thu night). Winds increasing (light winds from the NNE on Wed afternoon, fresh winds from the WSW by Thu afternoon). | |||||||||||||||||||

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.
