The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Coronation Beach is about to get a good run of solid SW groundswell, but you’ll need to pick your moments. The wind plays a big role here, and the best windows come with offshore or light cross-off breezes, keeping things clean. The water’s sitting at 69° – about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real call is Wednesday morning, July 22. Swell hangs around 5ft from the SW with a nice 13-second period, and the wind is offshore out of the ESE at 15 mph. Combined energy is moderate (816). It’s clean, it’s got push, and it’s a solid session for anyone who can handle a bit of size. That’s your early-week standout.
Thursday afternoon, July 23, is another beauty. The swell holds at 6ft from the SW, period is 14 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. Wave energy is moderate (1196). It’s clean, lined up, and the kind of afternoon that makes you forget the early alarm.
Monday morning, July 27, delivers a bigger pulse – 6ft SW swell, 14-second period, with a light cross-off breeze from the SSE at 9 mph. Energy is moderate (1423). It’s a bit more size, but the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. The crowd can be around sometimes, but with that quality, it’s worth sharing the peak.
The best of the whole run looks like Tuesday morning, July 28. Swell is 6ft from the SW, period 15 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the east at 9 mph. Energy is moderate (1475). That’s a long-period groundswell with clean offshore wind – perfect for Coronation’s beach-and-reef setup. The waves will have shape and power, and the sets will be spaced, making it easier to get out back.
Looking further ahead to Monday, August 3, the swell kicks up to 8ft from the SW, period 17 seconds, with offshore ENE wind at 16 mph. Energy is moderate (2878). That’s a big, long-period swell – too big for beginners, but experts will be in their element. The long period means it’ll break a bit straight on the beach, but the reef section should hold it together nicely. Promising, but a week out, so keep an eye on the wind.
The last standout is Wednesday afternoon, August 5. Swell is 7ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, with a light offshore breeze from the east at 6 mph. Energy is moderate (2017). Clean, powerful, and a solid way to wrap up the outlook.
There’s a gap between Friday July 24 and Saturday July 26 where the surf is small or messy – not worth paddling out. And toward the end of July, a big pulse arrives: July 31 sees 12ft SW swell, but with cross-onshore wind, it’ll be a beast only for the brave. August 1 is even bigger at 13ft, but with strong winds, that’s more of a kite day than a surf day.
Rusty out.

Information about the Coronation Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coronation Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coronation Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coronation Beach 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 (Coronation Beach) 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 Coronation Beach 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.
