Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, partner, this forecast is a tough one. For the entire 16-day window, the wave energy just isn't showing up. You're looking at a full week of nothing from this Sunday the 5th right through to Friday the 11th – just tiny dribbles and onshore chop. The only time the ocean even blinks in our direction is on the morning of Saturday the 11th.
The pick of a very weak bunch is Covelong Point on the morning of Saturday the 11th. The swell is a tiny 0.7m from the SE, with a period of 6 seconds, but the wind is offshore from the W at 12 mph. That offshore flow will clean the faces up nicely, giving you some glassy lines on that small energy (81). It’s still terrible, barely surfable, but it's the only time the window opens a crack. The water temp is 85°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
After that, the window slams shut again. The next morning that looks clean is Monday the 13th with a fresh offshore, but the swell drops to 0.3m – that’s barely a ripple. The energy bottoms out at 26. The afternoons are a mess with cross-on wind building the chop.
We get another small flicker on the morning of Friday the 17th, with light cross-off winds and a 0.5m SSE swell. Not worth the effort. Into the final week, the mornings of Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th offer small, clean conditions with moderate offshore wind, but the swell height never cracks 0.7m. The combined energy on Sunday the 19th morning is 64 – still weak.
Bottom line: this is a desert. There is no real swell to speak of. The best day, the 11th, is a poor excuse for a surf. For anyone but the most dedicated beginner, leave the boards in the car this fortnight.
Rusty.

Information about the Covelong Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Covelong Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Covelong Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Covelong Point 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 (Covelong Point) 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 Covelong Point 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.
