Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards for Coronation Beach, but you’ll have to work around a few windy days to find the real gems.

The pattern kicks off with a big, powerful Southwest groundswell on Tuesday the 7th. The combined energy is pumping at 3090 (moderate to strong), but with an 8ft swell and a long 16-second period, this one’s for experienced surfers only. The morning is the pick: clear skies and a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE make for clean, lined-up sets peeling down the beach-and-reef setup. The water temp sits at 69°, which is a touch colder than normal for this time of year (a bit colder than average). Afternoon swings cross-shore and gets a bit scratchy, so surf the morning window. Crowds can pop up here sometimes.

Wednesday the 8th drops a notch to a 6ft swell in the morning with a clean cross-off breeze, but the combined energy drops to 1524. It’s a smaller, more manageable day for the intermediate crew, but the swell’s still got that long-period punch from the SW.

Now, if you’re chasing the standout session of the forecast, lock in Sunday the 12th morning. The wind goes glassy out of the ESE—dead flat water—with a 4ft SW groundswell at a very long 17 seconds. The combined energy reads 1462 (moderate). Conditions are glassy, waves are clean, and that long period means better shape and longer waits between sets. It’s a dream session for a confident surfer who likes a bit of power.

Monday the 13th morning brings another pulse of 8ft SW groundswell pushing the combined energy to 3847 (strong). A clean cross-off from the ENE keeps it tidy, but this is expert territory again.

There’s a messy patch from Tuesday the 14th through to Tuesday the 21st. Winds get cranky, lots of onshore and cross-onshore with moderate breezes, and the surf quality drops. Friday the 17th sees 10ft SW swell but with onshore rain showers—ugly conditions. Sunday the 19th is similar with poor surf and a moderate cross-onshore.

The real late-game highlight lands on Wednesday the 22nd. The morning delivers a clean 7ft SW swell with a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE—combined energy 1729 (moderate). But it’s the afternoon that steals the show: 8ft from the WSW, a 15-second period, and a gentle cross-off breeze from the SSE clean it right up. The combined energy hits 3414 (strong). This is a serious stand-out session for experienced surfers, with clean offshore lines and plenty of juice.

Overall, the first week offers two clear standout windows—Sunday morning the 12th for a glassy, lower-risk session, and Wednesday afternoon the 22nd for a bigger, cleaner, expert-level hit. There’s a long, sloppy gap through the middle that’s not worth paddling for.

Rusty.
