Alright, let’s run that again in feet and knots for you.
The water's sitting at 19°, which is about normal for the season. Not warm, not cold.
We've got a wait on our hands. The first report is for Thursday the 2nd of July, and it's not good. A 7ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is screaming from the same direction at 15 mph, making it a total mess. The energy is moderate (643), but the surface is choppy and poor.
The real standout is Friday the 3rd of July. Coxos is the spot. The swell drops a bit to 6ft, still from the NNW with a solid 9-second period, moderate energy (513). The magic is the wind: a clean, offshore SE breeze at 6 mph. That's going to make for clean, lined-up waves. Expect very good surf. Crowds are often here, so don't expect to have it to yourself. The morning session is the only call, as the wind swings onshore in the afternoon.
Saturday the 4th of July is smaller, 3ft, with light onshore wind. Marginal at best.
From Sunday the 5th of July through to Saturday the 11th of July, it's dead. Swell is tiny, under 2ft, with persistent cross-onshore wind. Combined energy readings are in the double digits – weak. It's a normal quiet spell for this area.
We get a little bump on Sunday the 12th of July with a 4ft swell, but it's choppy.
The next glimmer is Tuesday the 14th of July. A 3ft to 3ft swell from the WNW, but the period jumps to 11-12 seconds – that's real groundswell energy. Morning has light onshore wind, but the quality of the swell could offer some shape.
Then Wednesday the 15th of July morning looks glassy. A 3ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period and glassy conditions. Energy is moderate (192). It's described as ordinary, but with glass, it's a fun session.
Thursday the 16th of July morning is also glassy, but the swell is a short-period 4ft from the NNW (6 seconds). Soft and fat.
Friday the 17th of July has a building swell to 6ft-6ft from the NNW, but the period stays short at 7 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. That much energy (366-404) with that short period and onshore wind is going to be a messy, blown-out mess. Better for kites than paddles.
So the only true standout is Friday morning, the 3rd of July, at Coxos. Clean 6ft offshore lines. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
