The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks. There’s a solid run of swell on the menu, but you’re gonna have to be real choosy about the wind. This spot is consistent, so there’s always something to work with, but the first few days are a bit of a write-off with onshore and cross-onshore winds. The real standout is shaping up to be Sunday the 9th, and then Tuesday the 11th is a monster, but only for the brave.
We start off Thursday the 6th with a solid 8ft SW groundswell, period 16 seconds, but it’s blowing cross-on from the SW at 9 mph. The combined energy is already pumping at 3710 (moderate), but the wind is making it a choppy mess. Not worth paddling out for. Friday the 7th morning sees the same 8ft SW groundswell, but the wind is onshore from the W at 9 mph – still not clean. By Friday afternoon, the wind picks up to 16 mph onshore, and it’s a total write-off.
Saturday the 8th is a no-go. Morning has a 10ft SW groundswell, but the wind is howling 25 mph from the SSW, making it a strong cross-onshore mess. The combined energy is 4234, but it’s not for surfing. The afternoon drops to 22 mph cross-shore wind, but the swell jumps to 12ft with a combined energy of 6281. It’s still lumpy and messy.
Now, here’s the first real standout. Sunday the 9th morning at Coronation Beach. The swell is a solid 12ft, direction SW, with a very long period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is massive at 7547 (strong). The wind is from the ESE at 6 mph, which is a light cross-offshore breeze. That’s clean surf, and the conditions are exceptional for expert surfers. This is a point break setup, so that long-period groundswell will be lining up nicely. The water temp is about average for this time of year at 68°F.
Monday the 10th is back to being poor. Onshore wind and rain showers, with a 8ft to 10ft SW swell. Nothing to write home about.
Tuesday the 11th is the big one. The swell hits 15ft from the SW, period 17 seconds, with a combined energy of 12387 (very strong). The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SE, first at 12 mph then dropping to 9 mph. The forecast says wind and tide are favorable, but let’s be real – 15ft is huge. This is expert only. The break is a beach and reef, and with that long period, it’s going to be a heavy, powerful beast. Not for the faint-hearted.
The week after that settles down a bit. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th have clean offshore winds (E at 12 mph, then E at 12 mph again) with swell dropping from 10ft to 7ft. The combined energy is still moderate (5149 and 2102), and conditions are good for experienced surfers. Friday the 14th morning has a cross-offshore breeze at 19 mph, which is a bit strong, but the afternoon turns glassy with a light offshore from the E at 6 mph and a 8ft SW swell. That’s a sneaky good session.
The second week is more of a waiting game. Saturday the 15th is marginal, but Sunday the 16th morning is a little beauty. The swell drops to 6ft from the WSW, period 14 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the SE at 3 mph. Combined energy is 1422, but it’s clean. Monday the 17th morning is even better – 8ft WSW groundswell, period 15 seconds, and glassy conditions from the NNW at 3 mph. The combined energy jumps to 3253, and it’s a clean, glassy session for experienced surfers.
After that, the wind turns onshore again, and the swell gets bigger and messier through the 18th and 19th. Thursday the 20th morning has a clean 8ft SW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 6 mph, and then the last few days of the forecast are clean but marginal.
Overall, the best bets are absolutely Sunday the 9th morning for the big, clean, powerful swell, and Monday the 17th morning for a glassy, fun session. The 11th is huge, but only for the experts. Keep your eyes on the conditions, because this spot can turn on a dime.

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.
