Coxos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is a tough one, folks. We're looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead for Coxos. The first solid week of this forecast window is basically a write-off, with very little to get excited about. The finder has no recommendations for the first ten days, which tells you all you need to know. We're looking at a gap of about 10 days before anything even remotely rideable shows up.

The swell energy is weak for days, mostly sitting in the double digits or low triple digits, and it's all short-period, onshore wind slop. The wind is constantly hammering it from the NNW or NW, right onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. You'd be fighting a losing battle out there.

Now, on the 26th of July, things start to get a bit more interesting in terms of size, but the wind is still a problem. We see a jump in swell energy, with chest to head-high sets (6ft) from the NNW, but that fresh cross-onshore breeze is going to make it lumpy and difficult. It's only really for the experienced, and honestly, with that wind, it looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.

The real standout, the only true window of opportunity, arrives on the morning of the 30th of July. The wind finally swings offshore from the SE, a moderate breeze that will clean up the lines beautifully. The swell is a solid 5ft from the NNW with a period of 10 seconds, offering moderate wave energy. This is a proper groundswell, and while the period isn't super long, it's enough to get some good shape at this reef. For a spot that's often crowded, the conditions should be primo. This is the one to circle on your calendar.

After that, the outlook fades back into small, choppy conditions for the first few days of August. The swell energy drops back, and the wind returns to its standard cross-onshore direction. It's a classic one-hit-wonder forecast.

Signing off, Rusty.
