The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at the surf ahead for Coronation Beach. This is a beach and reef set-up, exposed to the SW, so it needs that direction to fire. The water temp is sitting at 68°—right about average for the time of year, nothing weird.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first real chance of a surf shows up on Friday 28 August. Friday morning sees a 8-ft SSW swell with a 13-second period, cross-off wind from the SSE at 15 mph, and the wave energy is solid at 3708. It’s clean, but the wave comment says marginal surf, so it’s a bit average. Friday afternoon drops to 6-ft, still clean, still cross-off, but the energy drops to 1224. Not exactly pumping.

Saturday 29 August morning is where things look interesting. We’ve got a 3-ft SW groundswell with a very long 21-second period. That’s a proper groundswell—long gaps between sets, heaps of energy (813), and glassy conditions with clear skies and light SSE wind at 9 mph. This will be clean, but that long period means it might double up or break a bit too straight on the beach. Best to try the reef section. It’s small but clean. That afternoon the wind swings S at 19 mph, cross, and it gets lumpy, so the morning is the only window.

Sunday 30 August morning has a 7-ft SW swell at 18 seconds with 3081 energy, and light S wind at 6 mph, cross. That’s a standout. The size is solid—getting into the more powerful range, so it’ll suit experienced surfers. The period is long, so there’s plenty of push, and the light cross breeze should keep it tidy. Afternoon goes cross-on and choppy, so morning is your go.

Monday 31 August has a 6-ft SW swell at 16 seconds, but the wind goes onshore from the W in the morning and cross-on in the afternoon. It’s marginal. Tuesday 1 September stays in the 5-ft range, cross or cross-on, nothing special. Wednesday 2 September looks pretty ordinary with onshore cross-on winds and dropping energy. Not worth paddling out.

Thursday 3 September morning is another highlight. Clean cross-off wind from the S at 6 mph, 6-ft SW swell at 14 seconds, energy at 1288. The wave comment calls it excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a solid morning wave. The afternoon turns cross-on again.

The weekend of 5-6 September gets a bit wild. Saturday 5 September has a 8-ft SW swell at 14-15 seconds, but the wind is howling from the W at 25 mph onshore, with rain showers. That’s messy and blown-out—more of a kite day. Sunday 6 September morning redeems itself with a 7-ft SW swell at 13 seconds, clean cross-off from the SE at 6 mph, energy at 1583. That’s another excellent session for experienced surfers, clean and solid. The afternoon gets cross and messy.

After that, the surf drops off. Monday 7 September has 3-ft, Tuesday 8 September has 2-3-ft, all marginal. A real lull sets in for a few days.

Then we look at Thursday 11 September morning. A 7-ft SW swell at 18 seconds, light cross wind from the S at 6 mph, energy at 2630. That’s a promising, long-range call—big, powerful groundswell, but it’s far out. Could be a good one if the forecast holds, but it’s a wait-and-see.

The best of the whole run is probably Sunday 30 August morning—7-ft of long-period SW, light cross wind, clean. Second best is Thursday 3 September morning for that clean cross-off and solid 6-ft. The rest is mostly marginal or blown out.

Crowds at Coronation Beach are sometimes an issue, so keep that in mind on the better days.

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.
