Coxos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. The first good news is that we’ve got a bit of swell on the way, but it’s going to be a game of patience before we get the real standout sessions.

The forecast starts with a clean, glassy morning on Monday the 14th at Coxos. We’re looking at a clean 3ft wave from the NW, with a nice 11-second period. The water temp is about average for the time of year. That morning session will be a treat, with light, calm winds and minimal energy in the water (combined energy of 323). It’s a solid, fun little starter, but not the main event.

The first real standout is going to be the morning of Saturday the 19th. We’ve got a solid 8ft NW groundswell, with a very long 14-second period pushing in, and a combined energy that’s cranking (2412). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, so it’s going to be clean. This wave is big enough that it’s for experienced surfers only, so no messing around. The long period will mean the sets are well-defined, with long lulls in between – a real challenge for the crew who paddle out. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

The following Monday morning, the 21st, is another beauty. We’ve got a 6ft NW swell with that same excellent 14-second period and a combined energy of 1433. The wind is glassy from the SW, so the conditions will be absolutely pristine. Another top-tier session for the experienced crew.

Further out, the Friday morning of the 25th is showing a promising 6ft NW groundswell, also with a 14-second period and a combined energy of 1500. The wind will be glassy from the SSE again, making it a clean option. It’s a long-range call, but it looks like a good one. The Saturday morning the 26th brings another glassy start, with a smaller 5ft NW swell (546 combined energy), perfect for those who want a more relaxed paddle.

In between these highlights, there’s a lot of onshore wind and messy, lumpy conditions, especially from Wednesday the 16th through Friday the 18th. The swell is big, but the wind is ruining it. A 10ft NW swell on the 16th with a strong cross-onshore breeze? That’s a write-off for a clean paddle session. There will be a few smaller, cleaner windows later in the second week, like the morning of the 24th with a glassy 3ft wave (376 energy), but those are for the patient ones.

So, to sum it up: get after the early morning on the 14th, but the absolute standouts are the Saturdays and Mondays around the 19th and 21st. The end of the month is also looking interesting, but we’ll worry about that when it gets closer. Keep your eyes on the ocean.
