The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming at Coronation Beach over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got some solid groundswell on the horizon, but the wind’s going to be the main factor—it won’t always cooperate. Water temp is about 68°, which is normal for this time of year.
First real window opens on Tuesday morning, 1st September. There’s a clean 6 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and a light cross-off breeze from the SSE—makes for smooth faces. The combined swell energy is moderate (1449). This one suits experienced surfers since the swell’s over 5 ft but under 8 ft. Crowds can show up sometimes.
The standout stretch starts Monday the 7th of September. A big 10 ft SW swell with a long 17-second period, and cross-off winds from the ESE and SSE through the week. That’s serious power—energy hits 5223 on Monday morning. Clean conditions, but this swell is over 8 ft, so it’s expert only. Crowds are possible.
Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon turns glassy with an 8 ft SW swell and 16-second period—energy 3661—a real treat for experienced surfers. Thursday the 10th keeps the 10 ft SW swell going, but winds shift light cross-on, so it gets a little bumpy. Still plenty of juice.
From Friday the 11th, the swell drops below 7 ft with moderate energy, and winds turn more cross to cross-onshore, so quality fades. Second week is quiet.
The absolute best is Monday the 7th of September through Wednesday the 9th—big SW groundswell, clean offshore winds, and heaps of energy. If you can handle a 10 ft swell, that’s your spot.
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.
