Coxos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, lookin’ at the Coxos forecast. We’ve got a bit of a story unfoldin’ here over the next couple weeks.

Right now, there’s a bit of a gap before things get interestin’. The first real chance for a wave comes Sunday the 13th. We’re startin’ off with a bit of a mixed bag. Sunday morning’s got clean 3 ft NW swell, but only a moderate energy in the water, and while the cross-off wind’s alright, it’s not the best it could be. Not the standout of the week, but you could get wet.

The real highlight for the first week is gonna be Monday morning, the 14th. That’s the session to circle. Glassy conditions, a clean 3 ft NW swell with a moderate 11-second period, and wave energy is solid. Coxos is a reef break, so that longer period will really help shape things up. The wind’s dead calm, and it’ll be clean as a whistle. With the break bein’ fairly consistent and exposed, this is your best bet early on. The water temp is 65°, which is 4° colder than normal, so you’ll feel that chill, especially on a glassy morning like that.

Things go a bit sideways from Tuesday the 15th through to the end of that week. We get a pulse of bigger swell, but it’s gonna be messy. Wednesday the 16th has 10 ft NW swell, but it’s blown out by a strong 25 mph north wind. That’s not for the faint of heart—it’s big, bumpy, and only for experts if anyone’s crazy enough. The combined energy is massive, but the wind just trashes it. This stretch of poor conditions lasts for several days, right through to the 18th.

We get another promising window around Saturday the 19th. There’s an 8 ft NW groundswell with a very long 14-second period, and the energy is through the roof, but the winds are cross-shore and it’s flagged as marginal. Could be a big, clean wave if the tide lines up, but that’s a bit of an if. It’s also gettin’ into that size where it’s expert territory only.

The next real standout comes Sunday the 20th. Morning session is where it’s at: 6 ft NW swell with a 12-second period, and a light ESE cross-off breeze. That’s clean, solid, and the energy is strong. For a reef like Coxos, that’s gonna produce some real quality lines. This is the one to plan for in that second week.

Monday the 21st morning also looks excellent. Another 6 ft NW swell, this time with a 13-second period and a clean south cross-off wind. Wave energy is near a thousand. That’s a proper session.

After that, the swell fades through the rest of the week, with a few small, glassy mornings on the 23rd (5 ft) and the 25th (2 ft), but the energy drops off. The last real pulse we see is on Monday the 28th, with a 3 ft NW groundswell and a very long 14-second period, glassy conditions—could be a sneaky good clean-up session, but the energy is low.

All in all, the best windows are the mornings of the 14th, 20th, and 21st. The 14th is your glassy, early-week gem. The 20th and 21st are your bigger, clean groundswell days. After that, it’s a slow fade.
