Coxos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, checkin' in from the coast. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks. Right off the bat, there's a promising window early on, but after that, the waiting game begins.

The action kicks off Friday morning, July 3rd, at Coxos. We've got a solid NNW groundswell pushing in at about 6 feet, with a period of 9 seconds, packing moderate wave energy (493). The real beauty here is the wind – a light ESE cross-offshore breeze at about 6 mph, keeping things looking clean. The water temp is around 65.1°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing weird. This Friday morning is your clear standout for the whole outlook period, offering the best combo of size and conditions.

Through Friday afternoon and into Saturday, we see the swell ease up. By Saturday morning, July 4th, the swell drops to about 3 feet from the NNW, but unfortunately, the wind swings onshore from the NW, making conditions a bit scrappy and likely washing out the shape.

From Sunday, July 5th, right through to the end of the first week, it's flat. Swell heights hover around 1 to 2 feet, the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is negligible – readings in the teens and thirties. It's a total bust for paddle surfing. Honestly, with these conditions, a kite surfer might be the only one having fun on the water.

There's a bit of a tease around Saturday, July 11th, with a slight bump in energy and a 2.6 feet swell, but the wind remains onshore, so it's not worth getting excited about.

The next real glimmer shows up on Sunday morning, July 12th. A new 4 feet NW swell comes through with moderate energy (356), but the wind is a cross-on from the WSW. It's marginal, not the quality we saw at the start.

Now, dig this: Monday morning, July 13th, serves up something special. We get a 4.6 feet NNW swell with the wind going glassy – or as close to it as makes no difference – a light W breeze described as "glass." The wave energy is solid (235) and the conditions should be clean. This is your second standout, but it's a one-morning-only deal. By the afternoon, the wind shifts to a cross-on and things get choppy again.

After that, the second week looks pretty bleak. From Tuesday, July 14th, onwards we see a slow decline back into small, weak surf with onshore winds. A brief pulse on Friday, July 17th, shows a 4.6 feet WNW swell (342 energy), but again, the wind is cross-onshore, making it a poor bet for any kind of quality ride.

So, bottom line: you have two shots – this Friday morning, July 3rd, and next Monday morning, July 13th. Don't sleep on 'em. The rest is a flat spell you're better off spending fixing your dings or watchin' the cams.
