The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Coronation Beach.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid, consistent SW groundswell running through the whole period, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The water temp is sitting at 68° which is just about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The first few days are pumping with size but the southerly winds are a real issue. Sunday morning the 6th sees 10ft of SW swell with a 13-second period, so it’s got some real grunt to it. The combined energy is high (3231), but a fresh cross-offshore breeze from the SSE is keeping things clean. This is a big one for the experienced crew only—over 8ft is expert territory. The same story runs through Monday the 7th, with a longer period of 17 seconds giving the waves even more shape and power (4766), but still a cross-off wind. By Tuesday morning the 8th, the swell eases to 8ft with a 16-second period, still clean and cross-off, but still too big for beginners.
Now, Wednesday the 9th is a real standout. Morning brings a strong offshore easterly at 25 mph, which is textbook for a razor-sharp, clean face. The swell is 7ft and 16 seconds. The energy is still strong (2008). The only catch is that strong offshore wind can make it a real battle to get out the back, so only the fittest and most experienced are going to love it. The afternoon eases a touch to 6ft with a 15-second period, and the wind drops to a fresh offshore, still clean.
From Thursday the 10th onward, the swell starts to drop off, and the winds start turning onshore. Thursday morning is still okay with a 5ft, 15-second swell and a cross-off breeze, but it’s fading. By Friday the 11th, it’s small and onshore, and we hit a bit of a lull. The weekend of the 12th and 13th is a write-off for quality surfing, with onshore winds and a messy cross-chop. The swell bumps back up to around 6ft, but the wind is all wrong.
The best day of the whole outlook, and I mean the absolute standout, is Monday the 14th. We get a 7ft SW swell at 14 seconds, with a light cross-off SSE breeze. The energy is solid (1728), and the conditions are clean. It’s right on the edge of the expert zone, but for a strong intermediate who knows their limits, this is the session to circle. Crowds are likely at Coronation Beach, so get in early.
After that, things get a bit messy with onshore and cross-onshore winds, but the swell stays in the 6ft to 6ft range. Then, we get a promising spike around Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th. This is over a week away, so treat it as a promising forecast, not a guarantee. Friday afternoon the 18th shows an 12ft SW swell with a 17-second period, and the combined energy is massive (11554). The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s going to be a powerful, heavy groundswell. This is for experts only, and the long period will make it bend and jack up, so it’ll be a proper test. Saturday the 19th is similar size (12ft) with a cross-onshore breeze, so it’s still big but a bit chopier.
The swell drops again by the 20th, with the wind turning onshore on the 21st, finishing the run with an 8ft swell and a moderate cross-onshore chop. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only real, reliable standout for clean, powerful, surfable waves is Monday the 14th. The long-range spike on the 18th is a beast but needs the wind to play ball.
Rusty.

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.
