Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Coronation Beach over the next couple of weeks.

First up, we’ve got a spot that’s a beach and reef setup, exposed to the SW, and it’s a consistent one. The water’s sitting at 67.5° at the start, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want that extra layer.

The surf kicks off on Wednesday, 29 July. The morning is a bit of a write-off with a cross-off wind messing with things, but the afternoon cleans right up. By the afternoon, we’ve got a solid 5.6 ft SW swell at 17 seconds, with a clean offshore breeze. The wave energy is pumping (2752), and this is a proper groundswell. That long period will make for some powerful, well-shaped lines, but it’ll be a little more suited to the point and reef sections than the straight beach. This is a good session for experienced surfers.

Thursday, 30 July, is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has a 4.6 ft SW swell but the wind is messy. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 4.3 ft, and the wind swings onshore, so it’s not the pick of the week.

Friday, 31 July, is where it starts to get interesting. The morning is glassy, with a 5.9 ft SW swell at 17 seconds. That’s a beautiful setup for a clean, glassy surf. The wave energy is strong (1858), and the wind is dead calm. This is a standout window for anyone who can handle a bit of size. The afternoon turns a bit cross-on, so get your dawn patrol in.

Saturday, 1 August, keeps the consistency going. The morning has a 6.6 ft SW swell with a clean cross-off wind. That’s a solid 15-second period groundswell, and the energy is still strong (1832). It’s a bit bigger, so it’s not for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is a great session. The afternoon gets a bit windier, but still clean.

Sunday, 2 August, the swell pushes up to 7.5 ft, but the wind is cross-off in the morning, so it’s still surfable. The period drops to 14 seconds, so it’s a bit more mixed. By the afternoon, the wind goes cross-shore, and it gets a little choppy.

Monday, 3 August, is a smaller day. The swell drops back to 5.6 ft, and the wind is light cross-shore. It’s not the cleanest, but the consistency is there.

Now, we hit a proper pulse. Tuesday, 4 August, brings a massive jump. The morning is a write-off with a strong cross-on wind and a 7.5 ft SW swell, but the energy is already huge (3642). The afternoon sees the swell hit 8.2 ft, and while the wind is onshore, the sheer power is there (4185). This is getting big, and with that onshore wind, it’s going to be a mess. This is more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.

Wednesday, 5 August, is a redemption. The morning is clean with a light cross-off wind and a 7.5 ft SW swell at 16 seconds. The energy is massive (2711), and it’s clean. This is a proper session for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets a bit cross-shore and choppy.

Thursday, 6 August, the swell is up to 9.8 ft in the morning, but with a cross-on wind, it’s not great. The wave energy is enormous (5642), but the wind is the killer. The afternoon is onshore, so it’s a pass.

Friday, 7 August, is a big one. The morning has a 13.1 ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s going to be a washing machine. The energy is off the charts (7514). This is expert-only, and even then, it’s going to be a battle. The afternoon is a bit cleaner with a cross-off wind, but it’s still huge at 11.5 ft.

Saturday, 8 August, the morning is glassy, with a 9.8 ft SW swell. The wind is dead calm, and the energy is still massive (4032). This is a rare, clean window on a big swell. It’s a standout for the experts. The afternoon gets onshore, so get it while it’s glassy.

Sunday, 9 August, the swell drops back to 6.9 ft, but the wind is cross-shore and choppy. Not a great day.

Monday, 10 August, another big pulse.
