Alright, let’s talk about Coogee in feet and miles per hour. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster ahead.

The first few days, from Monday the 6th through Thursday the 9th, are rough. We’ve got solid swell – 8ft to 11ft – out of the SSE and SE, with fresh cross-shore winds in the 18 to 19 mph range messing everything up. The wave energy is huge (1406 to 2528), but it’s lumpy and chopped to bits. This is big, powerful stuff, and unless you’re an expert, you’ll be ragdolled. Beginners, stay on the sand.

Friday morning the 10th is a little better. Swell backs down to about 5ft from the SE, period 9 seconds, with a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze. Energy drops to moderate (457). It’ll be clean, but it’s not the pick of the bunch.

Then we hit a flat spell. From Saturday the 11th all the way through Tuesday the 14th, the swell is tiny – 0.6ft to 3ft – and energy is weak (down to 11). Offshore winds look nice, but there’s just no wave. That’s about 4 days with nothing worth paddling for.

Wednesday the 15th morning brings a pulse – 7ft from the S, 10-second period, clean with a moderate 12 mph cross-off breeze. Energy is moderate (1055). A possible session, but a short one before the wind turns on you.

The real standout is Saturday the 18th morning. It’s looking clean with a 7ft SE groundswell, 11-second period, and a light 9 mph WNW offshore wind. Energy is moderate (949). That offshore breeze will put a nice face on the waves, and for an advanced spot like Coogee, this is the time to be in the water. Keep an eye out for a few heads in the lineup (crowds are “sometimes”), but this is the one.

After that, it fades, but check out Tuesday the 21st – a massive 13ft S swell shows up with a fresh offshore wind. Energy is very strong (2687). That’s a monster swell, only for the brave and the experienced. It’s a long way off, so don’t bet the farm on it yet.

Bottom line: Saturday the 18th morning is your best shot. Everything else is either messy, flat, or way too big.

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.
