Alright, I’ve looked over the situation here. To be honest, it’s pretty lean for Coxos. There’s basically nothing worth paddling out for in the first week at all. The whole run from Tuesday 7th July through to Friday 17th July is a write-off for decent surf. You’ve got a persistent onshore or cross-onshore wind, mostly from the N and NNW, and the swell is tiny – barely cracking 3 ft at best, and that’s with short, weak periods. The combined wave energy is low, mostly sitting in the two-digit range (36 to 137), which tells you there’s no grunt in the water. It’s just chop and windslop. If you’re a kite surfer, the setup might be more interesting than for paddling.
Now, there’s a little flicker of hope further out. On Saturday 11th July, the wind goes light offshore in the morning from the NNW, with swell from the NW at 2 ft and a period of 11 seconds. That’s a longer-period groundswell, which suggests better shape, especially for a reef like Coxos (a classic point-and-reef setup), but the combined energy is weak (124). By Sunday 12th July, it gets even better: clear skies, near-glass in the morning with the wind swinging light NW at 3 mph, swell still 2 ft from the NW at 9 seconds. Wave energy bumps up a little (137). That’s the standout of the whole outlook – a clean, offshore window at a spot that’s usually wind-affected. But it’s still only marginal, and the swell’s small. It’s a session for a log or a fish, not for a step-up.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions through to the 22nd July. There’s a hint of building energy on Monday 20th July with a 3 ft swell from the NNW and moderate onshore wind, but with a short period (7 seconds) it’s not going to be any good. The water temperature is unremarkable – about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Honestly, if you’re hanging out for waves, you’ve got a long wait. That Sunday 12th July morning is the only real window worth checking, and even then, go in with low expectations. Sometimes these quiet spells break quicker than expected, but right now, the forecast is pretty stubborn.

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.
