Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and fahrenheit.
Looking at Coxos, it’s a long dry spell. Nothing worth getting wet for until about a week from now. The first week and a half is all small, choppy windswell with cross-onshore breezes. Not a surfable moment.
The action finally picks up on Saturday the 18th of July. Swell jumps to 8ft from the NNW with a 9-second period. That’s short interval, but the combined energy is pumping at 2250 – that’s a serious amount of power. The wind is cross-on, light in the morning, so it will be a bit bumpy, but this is solid, heavy reef surf for experts only.
The real standout is Sunday morning the 19th. Still a solid 8ft of NNW groundswell, but the wind backs right off – a light breeze, almost glassy. That’s the cleanest we’ll see this whole outlook. The energy is still very strong at 1211. This is the session to aim for. Just keep in mind, when it’s on at Coxos, it can be a busy lineup.
Water temp is 67°F, which is about average for this time of year.
So don’t hold your breath for the first week, but mark the 19th as the one to chase.
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.
