The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.
This 16-day forecast is all about Coogee – a beach, reef, and point break that's inconsistent and better left to the experienced crowd. Water temp is around 63°, just about average for this time of year, nothin’ weird going on. It’s exposed to a south swell, which is our main source.
We start slow. Monday morning, August 31 brings a small 3ft south swell with a light north wind (5 mph) blowin’ cross-offshore. Clean lines, but tiny. The combined energy is moderate (207). Then Tuesday afternoon, September 1, we’ve got a 3ft south swell with a nice 11-second period and light offshore wind (10 mph). That’ll have some shape, energy at 243.
The real standout is Friday morning, September 11. A serious 8ft south swell rolls in, with a light northwest breeze (5 mph). That’s a big clean wave, combined energy is massive at 1317. Look, 8 feet is expert territory only. The other gem is Sunday morning, September 13 – glassy calm, 3ft south swell (209 energy). No wind at all. That’s the one for a smooth session at the point.
The rest of the run is mostly junk – onshore winds, chop, or just too small. September 6 has a 5ft south swell, but the east wind at 15 mph blows it out.
To sum it up for ya: September 11 morning for the big-wave hunters, and September 13 morning for the clean-glass crew. The rest is just a waiting game.

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.
