Alright, let’s switch over to feet and Fahrenheit for the imperial crew.
We’re looking at Coxos – a reef break that handles a north-northwest swell best. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The first real chance of surf doesn’t come until Sunday July 12th. Before that it’s flat and choppy – nearly a week of nothing worth suiting up for.
On Sunday the 12th, morning brings a small 4ft swell from the west-northwest, short period at 8 seconds, combined energy moderate at 197. Winds are light cross-onshore – a bit bumpy but at least it’s something. That repeats into Monday 13th morning with 4ft from the northwest, still short period, energy up a touch (247). Not great, but if you’re desperate you can get wet.
Now the standout: Sunday July 19th. Coxos gets a proper 8ft swell from the north-northwest, period still short at 8 seconds but combined energy jumps to 801 – that’s strong. Morning winds are gentle cross-onshore, keeping it clean enough for experts. This one’s serious – too big for beginners, and on a reef, you better know the lineup. Afternoon winds turn onshore so get it early.
Another option: Tuesday July 21st morning – 7ft from the north-northwest, energy at 511, winds moderate cross-onshore. It’s marginal but there if you missed the Sunday session.
Crowds? Coxos sees its share when there’s size. Expect company on the better days.
Sum it up: first week and a half are dead. Then a couple small pulses, but the real deal is Sunday July 19th. That’s the one to circle.

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.
