The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s lined up for the region around Coxos.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you—there’s a long, frustrating stretch of nothing happening. For the first few days, the onshore winds and the generally weak, poor-quality surf mean we’re looking at a blank run. From Wednesday the 22nd right through until the end of the month, the conditions are mostly poor, with moderate to fresh onshore and cross-onshore winds, and the wave heights are either too small or the wind is just ruining any chance of a clean wave. The energy is weak, with values like 74 and 101, and it’s just not worth paddling out. This is a tough stretch for this spot.
We finally start to see a glimmer of hope around the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August. The swell picks up a bit to 4ft from the WNW, but it’s still marginal with a light cross-onshore breeze. The real standout, and the only one worth getting excited about in this whole outlook, is the afternoon of Tuesday the 4th of August. The swell is a solid 6ft from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a decent 630. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, which is manageable. This is the best on offer, though it’s still a bit lumpy. The same setup carries into the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August, with the same 6ft NW swell and 630 energy, again with a gentle cross-onshore breeze. This is where I’d be looking. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only window with real push and half-decent conditions.
After that, it fades back into marginal or poor conditions through the rest of the week. So, if you’re keen, circle Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning. It’s not a classic, but in a 16-day window that’s mostly dry, it’s your best shot.
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.
