Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coxos over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on what’s coming at Coxos. It’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent and takes a bit of skill to handle, but we’ve got a long haul ahead.
Right now, we’re looking at a pretty flat start. The first real surf we can talk about doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday the 18th, and even then, it’s not great. We’ve got a gap of a few days with nothing worth paddling out for. From Saturday the 18th through to the morning of Saturday the 25th, it’s mostly small, messy, and not doing much. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
Now, the standout – and I mean the only real standout in this whole 16-day window – is the morning of Saturday the 25th. That’s when it all comes together. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell rolling in from the NNW, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the east. The combined energy hits 212 (moderate), and the surf is clean, offering some proper shape. This is the best on offer, and it’s a solid option for those who know the reef. Keep in mind, though, this is a week and a half out, so it’s promising but not locked in.
The next morning, Sunday the 26th, still has some size at 5 ft from the NNW, but the wind swings cross-on, and the conditions get a bit lumpy. The combined energy drops to 286 (moderate), but it’s not as clean as the day before. The morning of Monday the 27th holds similar size at 5 ft, but again, the wind is cross-on and the tide might be a factor.
Then on Tuesday the 28th, the swell picks up to 7 ft from the NNW, with a combined energy of 555 (strong). This is getting into expert-only territory, with the wind blowing onshore, so it’s going to be a messy, powerful beast. Not one for the faint-hearted.
So, bottom line: mark your calendar for the morning of Saturday the 25th. That’s your window. Everything else is either too small, too choppy, or too windy. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, that’s the pick of the bunch.
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.
