The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this little stretch of coast. We’ve got a tricky 16-day window ahead, with a lot of wind and chop to fight through, but there’s a moment of pure magic hiding in there for those who are patient.

The overall pattern is dominated by a persistent cross-onshore wind through most of the period, which is going to mess up a lot of what would otherwise be decent swell. The swell energy is moderate to strong, but the wind keeps it from being good. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.

The one real standout is Monday morning, 27 July at Coxos. This is where the stars align. You’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NNW, but the real story is the wind: completely glassy, dead calm. For a spot that’s a fairly consistent reef break, that’s going to deliver some silky, clean lines. The swell period is short at 7 seconds, so it will be a bit weaker, but for that morning, it’s the best you’re going to get. The combined energy is moderate (245). This is the session to aim for.

The rest of the first week is a write-off. From Sunday afternoon through to the end of July, it’s cross-onshore winds and poor surf conditions. The wind is just too strong and from the wrong direction. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday morning, 28 July, with a bit more energy (381) and a longer period (10 seconds), but the wind is cross-on, so it’s marginal at best.

Then we hit a long, frustrating gap. From the end of July right through the first week of August, it’s nothing but poor surf. The wind is relentless, 16-22 mph from the N and NNW, and the waves are all choppy and lumpy. The swell gets bigger – up to 8ft on the 4th and 5th of August – but with a fresh to strong breeze on it, the surface is just a mess. That’s kite surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The combined energy on Wednesday morning, 5 August, hits a massive 1208, but it’s all wind-slapped.

The second week doesn’t get much better. There’s a marginal window on Sunday morning, 9 August, with a 7ft swell from the NNW and a 690 combined energy, but the wind is onshore and the conditions are described as questionable. It’s a long way out, so don’t bank on it.

Expect a long blank run of about 10 days from the end of July until the 9th of August, with no real surfable waves. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough outlook.

Rusty.

Information about the Coxos Surf forecast

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