Greenly Beach (Coles Point) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Greenly Beach (Coles Point). The water’s sitting at 60°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the first real chance to get wet kicks off on Monday morning, September 7th. It’s small, with a 3ft SW groundswell. The wind is ESE, cross-off, which will keep things tidy. The combined energy is moderate (376). It’s a beginner wave, so it’s a good session for those learning the ropes.

The real action starts to build on Tuesday, September 8th. That morning, the swell jumps to 5ft from the SW, with a long 17-second period. That’s proper groundswell. The wind is light SE, cross-off, and the energy is pumping at 1172. This is the standout of the first week. The waves will have push and shape, and with clean conditions, it’s going to be a gem. Later in the day, the wind swings south and picks up, turning it messy, so get out early.

Thursday, September 10th, brings a return of clean offshore winds from the east, with a solid 5ft SW swell. Not quite as energetic as Tuesday, but still a very good, clean option.

Friday, September 11th, is another beauty. The 4ft SW groundswell holds, and the wind is light and cross-off all day. The wave energy is strong (677 to 793), and you’ll be surfing clean, lined-up waves. This is one of the best few days on offer.

We hit a flat, wind-affected patch from Saturday afternoon through to Sunday, September 13th. The wind gets strong and messy, so it’s a write-off. Monday, September 14th, is a complete no-go with onshore wind and poor quality.

The good news is it swings back hard on Tuesday, September 15th. Morning sees a 5ft SW swell, clean offshore breeze from the east, and building energy. By the afternoon, it’s 5ft and glassy – a top-tier session. Wednesday, September 16th, is similar with a 5ft SW swell and a slight offshore breeze in the morning. Absolutely perfect.

The weekend of September 19th and 20th has some interest. Saturday afternoon, September 19th, is a standout: a 3ft SW swell, glassy conditions, and the energy is strong (1011). That’s a fun, clean wave for everyone. The following Sunday, the 20th, brings a much bigger 7ft SW swell, but it’s onshore and messy in the afternoon – that’s expert-only, and even then, it’s not pretty.

The final week kicks off with a pulse of serious energy. Monday, September 21st, sees a 5ft to 7ft SW swell with a very long 22-second period. The energy is huge (6013), but the wind is cross-shore and lumpy. This is deep-water groundswell – it’s going to barrel at the right spots, but it’s only for the brave. The period is so long it’ll stand up fast and pitch. For the average surfer, it’s a day to watch.

Tuesday, September 22nd, cleans up a bit with a 4ft SW swell and a cross-off breeze, making for a solid, clean session.

The clear standout of the whole forecast is Tuesday, September 8th morning, and the whole of Friday, September 11th. If you can only pick one, go for the Friday – it’s consistent, clean, and has plenty of energy without being scary.
