Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coxos over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's have a look at what's on the table for Coxos over the next couple of weeks. This is a classic reef setup that loves a solid NNW groundswell, and it's rated for advanced surfers only. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is actually dead average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there. You'll want a hood for dawn sessions but it's not too crazy.
Honestly, mate, the next few days are looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. From Wednesday the 8th right through to the end of the second week, it's mostly cross-onshore wind messing things up, with small, weak swell. The combined energy is low, often under 100, showing no real pulse. There's a tiny blip on Saturday the 12th morning – we get a glassy window with light W wind and a bit of 3ft NW groundswell. The energy bumps up to 158, which is moderate, but it's still a very ordinary wave. Not worth getting excited about.
Things finally look like they might turn around towards the very end of the run. On Tuesday the 21st of July, the swell kicks up to 5ft from the NW, with moderate combined energy hitting around 269 to 312, so there's a decent amount of water moving. Problem is, the wind is cross-on from the N and NNW at a solid 22 mph, making it lumpy and messy. Even with the size, the conditions just aren't clean enough to call it a standout. Wednesday the 22nd is similar – 5ft of NNW swell, but again cross-on wind. There's a slight improvement on Thursday the 23rd morning, with lighter cross-on wind and the swell dropping to 5ft, but the period is short at 6 seconds, so it'll be a bit weak and walled-up for a reef break like Coxos. The energy is moderate at 172.
To be straight with you, there are no true standouts in this forecast. The only day that even hints at being okay is that glassy morning on the 12th, but the swell is tiny. For the rest, it's a long stretch of poor quality, and that big swell at the end comes with too much wind. For a spot that needs clean conditions, this is a tough outlook.
Keep your hopes up – sometimes these forecasts shift and a window opens up, but right now, I'd say give it a miss for the next two weeks.

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.
