Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a good, long look at what’s coming for Coronation Beach.

We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way. This spot is a consistent beach and reef setup that loves a good SW groundswell, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing most of the time. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there. The wind looks a bit tricky at times, but there are some absolute gems in this 16-day window.

The first real standout is Tuesday the 7th of July in the morning. It’s not for the faint-hearted though. We’re looking at a solid 8.2ft swell from the SW, with a long 16-second period. This thing has got some serious grunt behind it – the combined energy is hitting 3090. The wind is a gentle offshore from the ESE, so the surface will be clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers only; too big for beginners. That’s the pick of the early days.

Then, things settle a bit, but Thursday the 9th of July morning is another special one. The swell drops to a more manageable 6.6ft from the WSW, still with a nice 16-second period (1564 energy). But the real story here is the wind – it’s glass. Absolutely dead calm. That means mirror-smooth conditions for a wave that’s already well-shaped from that long period groundswell. This is another session for the experienced crew.

After that, we have a drop-off. The weekend of the 11th and 12th sees smaller swell and more cross-shore wind, but Sunday the 12th morning has a glassy 4.9ft SW swell that’s worth a paddle if you’re keen.

Now, circle Monday the 13th of July morning on your calendar. This is the biggest and most powerful swell of the whole run. An 8.2ft SW groundswell with an 18-second period and combined energy of 4113 – that’s a lot of juice. The wind is glassy from the NW. This is pure, raw power for experts only. The channel should be your best friend.

The second week starts off okay. Tuesday the 14th afternoon cleans up with an offshore ENE breeze and a 5.6ft SW swell (1196 energy). By Friday the 17th, we get another pulse of size – 8.2ft SW swell both morning and afternoon (2959 energy), with clean offshore cross-off winds. That’s a good, solid day for those who can handle it. The following weekend into Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st keeps the consistency going with smaller, clean 4.6ft to 5.2ft waves.

My absolute highlights for the whole period: Thursday the 9th July morning for those perfect glassy conditions, and Monday the 13th July morning for the biggest, most powerful swell. Tuesday the 7th morning is also a top-tier call for the big-wave chargers. There are no waves here that are too small, but plenty that are too big for beginners.
