Coxos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, mates, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for our stretch of coast.

We’re kicking off Friday the 11th, but honestly, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first few days are a write-off with choppy, cross-onshore winds and messy waves, nothing worth paddling out for. We’ll see a bit of a lull in the action through to Saturday.

Alright, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday the 13th is where we finally get a proper window. Early morning, Coxos is looking clean with glassy conditions and a clean 3 ft NW swell rolling in. The period is a solid 13 seconds, so there’s some proper groundswell energy behind it – the combined energy is sitting at a decent 382. This is the standout of the early run. The water temp is 64°, which is much colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a good steamer.

Now, don’t get too comfortable, because the wind turns messy again through Monday afternoon and Tuesday, with the swell dropping off and the cross-onshore chop coming back.

Hold onto your boards, because Wednesday the 16th sees a big pulse of swell. We’re looking at a solid 10 ft NNW swell, but the wind is howling at 28 mph, making it a complete mess. The wave energy is massive – 1498 – but it’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle-surfing one.

Thursday the 17th morning is a bit more manageable with 8 ft clean conditions, but it’s still a big, powerful wave. This is for experts only. The wind is cross-offshore, so the shape should be there, but it’s pushing the limits.

The real standout in the second week? Saturday the 19th. We get another glassy morning with a solid 5 ft NNW swell, period at 11 seconds, and the energy is a good 499. The wind is offshore and light, making for a clean session. This is your best bet for a proper surf, but expect some company as this spot can get crowded.

Then, Tuesday the 22nd morning is another beauty. A glassy start with a clean 5 ft NW swell, period at 12 seconds, and the wave energy is high at 881. The wind is light, so conditions should be pristine. A true highlight of the long-range forecast.

After that, the swell fades and the wind turns sloppy again through to the end of the outlook.

So, to sum it up: Sunday the 13th morning is your early gem, and Saturday the 19th and Tuesday the 22nd mornings are the standouts for the second week. Keep an eye on the wind forecasts, because when it’s clean, this place is firing.

Rusty.
