Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks. This is a solid run of swell, but we’ve got to pick our moments wisely with the wind.

We’ve got a stretch of some proper size coming in, but the real standout is a stunning window of perfection that pops up in the back half of the first week. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is actually about normal for this time of year, so nothing to worry about on that front.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Wednesday the 26th through to Friday the 28th see solid to big SW swell (7 ft to 10 ft), but the wind is a mess – cross-on, onshore, or strong cross-shore. It’s choppy and lumpy, and honestly, this is more of a kite-surfing setup than a peaceful paddle session. Saturday the 29th drops right off to a tiny 3 ft, so not worth the paddle.

Now, here’s the one you’ve been waiting for. Sunday the 30th is the pick of the entire forecast. Head to Coronation Beach first thing in the morning. We’ve got a clean 7 ft SW groundswell rolling in with a very long 19-second period, and the wind is absolutely dead calm – glassy conditions. That’s proper juice for experienced surfers. The combined energy is pumping at 3184, and with that long period, expect proper lines that will hold up well on this exposed beach and reef setup. It’s going to be clean and powerful.

Sunday afternoon stays decent with a 7 ft SW swell, though a light cross-on breeze will put a few ripples on the surface. Monday the 31st and Tuesday September 1st still offer 6 ft to 6 ft SW swell, but the wind is a bit more crossed up or onshore, so expect some chop. The middle of the week dips down to 4 ft to 5 ft with cleaner conditions, so there’s potential for a cruisy session if the tide’s right.

Then we get another highlight. Saturday the 5th of September morning looks very promising. A 7 ft SW swell from the 14-second range meets a clean offshore E wind at 9 mph. That’s a recipe for clean, groomed faces, and the energy is solid at 1804. This could be another standout.

The second week keeps the swell alive, but the confidence isn’t as high. The following Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th show a bigger 8 ft to 8 ft SW swell with moderate energy in the 4000-5000 range, but the wind is a bit of a mix. It’s worth keeping an eye on.

Overall, don’t bother with the early week mess. Lock in Sunday the 30th for the best conditions, and keep an eye on that Saturday the 5th morning session. That’s where the magic is.

Rusty.
