The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here for the surf report in feet and Fahrenheit.
Let's be straight, the next week and a half looks like a bit of a grind. A lot of onshore and side-shore breezes are going to chop up what could be decent swell. The water temp is 69.3°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
The first real chance of a wave to talk about doesn't show up until Sunday, July 27th, and even then, it's a marginal call. We're looking at a 5.6ft swell from the NNW with a 8-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (409). But the wind is a light cross-onshore from the north, which will keep things bumpy. The 28th and 29th of July are a similar story – solid sized waves but with a messy, choppy texture that's hard to get excited about.
Looking into early August, there are a couple of mornings that might offer a small window. On Sunday, August 2nd, we've got a 5.9ft NW swell with a 7-second period, but the key is the wind is a light breeze from the west, keeping it as a light cross-onshore. It's still marginal, but the (288) combined energy is there. Then on Monday, August 3rd morning, a similar setup with 5.2ft NW swell and a light westerly breeze that might just smooth things out enough for a session. The scores are low, so don't expect perfection. This is for the surfer who's willing to work for a few bumps.
For the experts chasing the heavy stuff, it shows up but it's blown to bits. On Saturday, August 6th, we see swell hitting 7.2ft from the NNW with a combined energy of 615 (strong to very strong) but it's getting hammered by a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore. That's a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle session. Too big and too messy for a standard board at Coxos.
Beginners, take note. The swell is regularly over 5ft and often over 6.5ft, and with the onshore wind, the water will be a mushy, choppy mess. There are a lot of waves in the water, but very few of them are clean. Keep an eye on the wind forecasts – if we get a lucky glass-off, the size on offer could be something special. Until then, pick your moments carefully.

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.
