Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles per hour.
Right off the bat, the first week is a total dud. From Sunday the 5th through to the morning of Saturday the 11th, we’re looking at flat, tiny waves with hardly any energy. The combined energy numbers are all in the double digits (81 down to 22), and the wind is blowing onshore or cross-onshore most of the time. It’s just not worth paddling out. You’re not going to get a ride.
Things start to show a little life on the weekend of the 12th and into the 13th. The swell comes up to around 5 ft from the NW on Sunday morning with an 8-second period, and the energy jumps to 268 (moderate). But the wind is still a messy cross-onshore from the WSW, so it’s going to be choppy and hard to manage. It’s a marginal call, nothing more.
The one bright spot, the absolute standout, is Tuesday morning, the 14th of July. This is your session. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 235 (moderate). The wind? Dead flat calm, glassy, with a westerly breeze at just 3 mph. Coxos is a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the NW, and with that glassy skin on the water, it’s going to be pristine. Just be aware that crowds are common here, so get there early.
After that Tuesday morning window, it fades fast. From Wednesday the 15th onwards, the swell drops, the wind turns onshore again, and the energy numbers stay low, hovering around 100 or less. The second week doesn’t offer anything else worth getting excited about.
Bottom line: grit your teeth through the flat first week, do not miss that glassy Tuesday morning on the 14th, and then you’re off the hook for the rest.
Rusty.

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.
