Coxos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey crew, Rusty here. I gotta level with you – this 16-day look is a dead loss. We’re talking a massive, frustrating gap starting now and running flat until Thursday, July 17th. After that, we might see something barely worth a look on Friday and Saturday the 18th, but it’s a long shot.

The only spot in the frame is Coxos (reef), and she’s just not playing ball. It’s a consistent break that loves a north-northwest groundswell, but the wind is killing it.

Friday the 3rd starts with a 5ft swell from the NNW (8-second period), but it’s cross-on and choppy. The water’s 65°, which is normal for the season. Saturday the 4th morning gives us a tiny ray of hope: the swell drops to 4ft, but the wind goes glassy. That’s the only clean window, and the energy is weak (246). By the afternoon, the onshore wind is back, and it’s over.

From Sunday the 5th through Thursday the 17th, it’s a brutal stretch. The swell barely reaches 2ft, and the wind is a constant cross-on or onshore mess, from a light breeze all the way up to a strong breeze. The energy is pathetic – often under 100. There’s a couple of days around July 11th to 14th where the swell actually pumps to 6ft to 8ft from the NNW. But the wind is screaming at 22 to 28 mph, cross-on, making it a total washing machine. That kind of power (energy readings over 1000) is completely wasted. Looks like a better setup for kite surfing than paddling.

Finally, on Friday the 18th of July morning, we get a glimmer: a 3ft swell from the NW (8-second period) with light onshore wind (6 mph). The energy is a weak 105, and the wind is onshore, so it’ll be lumpy. The spot really wants that clean NNW swell to work. That’s the only thing even worth talking about in the whole 16 days, and I wouldn’t hold my breath.

So there you have it. A total blank run. This happens sometimes in this region when the patterns lock in wrong. Keep the wax on the shelf.

Rusty.
