The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it for Coxos. We’ve got a 16-day look, and the first thing worth paddling for is Monday morning, July 27th. Before that, Sunday the 26th is a total mess – strong wind and bumpy water, so don’t bother.
The one true standout, the only session that’s really calling, is Monday morning. Coxos is an advanced reef break and it’s fairly consistent, so when it gets clean, it can be special. Early that morning, we’ve got a 4ft swell out of the NNW with a 7-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead flat, no chop whatsoever. That’s about as good as it gets for clean waves. The water temp is 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season. The combined swell energy is moderate at 241. After that, it’s a dead loss. Monday afternoon the wind shifts and the quality disappears.
From Tuesday, July 28th, all the way to August 10th, it’s a long stretch of cross-on or onshore winds that wreck every session. Sure, the swell gets big at times – like on August 7th, with a 6ft NNW groundswell (11-second period) and strong energy (816) – but the wind is just too strong or in the wrong direction. That kind of power with a howling wind just chops it all up. Even a good reef break like this can’t save it.
On August 6th, there’s a small 3ft swell from the NNW with a very long period of 13 seconds and moderate energy (411). That long period can create nice lines at a reef, but the cross-on wind will still make it a tricky paddle. If you’re a local who knows the place and has to get wet, that Monday morning is your only real call. For the rest of the two weeks, save your energy. It’s a rough run.

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.
