Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking for Coronation Beach.

The first few days are a total washout – messy wind and poor surf. Things don’t get interesting until Sunday, September 20th. That morning we’re looking at a clean 5ft swell out of the southwest, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy’s still decent (854), and it’s the first real window worth paddling out.

Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual.

That Sunday morning is your early highlight. The swell is around head-high, with a 13-second period giving it some proper grunt, and clean conditions should make for some fun waves on the beach and reef. Just a heads-up, the crowds can be around sometimes.

The rest of that week is a mixed bag of onshore wind and lumpy surf, nothing to write home about. On the 23rd of September, the swell jumps to 10ft on Wednesday afternoon, but the wind is cross-shore and messy, so the quality tanks. That’s more of a power session.

Now, if you’re patient, Sunday, September 27th is the one to circle. We’ve got a clean 5ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and glassy offshore wind from the east. The energy is solid (1265), and the forecast says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the standout. The swell direction is perfect for Coronation, and with that long period, it’ll be lining up nicely on the reef. Expect clean, powerful waves. Just remember, it’s well over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners.

The 28th and 29th of September keep the good vibes going with clean conditions and waist-to-chest high swell. The morning of the 29th is especially sweet – glassy conditions with a 6ft SW swell and a 15-second period. That’s another prime session.

So, the first week is mostly a bust. The real quality starts on the 20th, and the best bets are the 27th and 29th. Keep an eye on the wind, but there are some proper waves coming.

Rusty.
