The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Coronation Beach.
Right, straight up, the good news is there’s a decent pulse of swell coming for a long time. The bad news is, it’s pretty messy for the most part. The combined wave energy is moderate (1801) early on, which shows there’s some size, but the wind is going to be a pain through the middle of the week. For a beginner-plus wave like this, it’s just not gonna be clean enough for most of the 16-day window.
We roll out on Monday morning, September 14th. The water temp is sitting at 68° which is bang on average for the time of year. Swell is a touch over 7ft from the SW with a long period of 15 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. Problem is, the wind is a cross-off from the SSE at 12 mph, so while the waves will have shape, that morning session is the only one that looks half-decent. By Monday arvo, the wind cranks to 19 mph and it gets lumpy. The rest of the week is much of the same – plenty of size, but the wind stays cross or onshore, churning it up. You’re looking at a lot of days with a combined energy between 1000 and 2000, but it’s just not worth paddling out into chop.
The first real standout comes on Saturday morning, September 19th. This is worth setting the alarm for. The swell is a solid 8ft from the SW with 15-second period (combined energy 3011). The best part? The wind drops right out to glassy conditions. For a beach and reef spot, glass is a dream. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. Expect some big, powerful lines. It’s a consistent break, so you won’t be sitting waiting forever, but with that kind of quality, expect crowds to be a factor as word gets out.
After that, we slide back into messy conditions until we get a proper window at the end of the run. The morning of Saturday, September 26th is an absolute bomb. We’re seeing a massive 12ft SW swell with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s a combined energy of 8388. This is big, powerful groundswell. This will be well overhead and pushing hard, so it’s strictly for the experienced crew. The wind is cross (S at 16 mph) which will keep it a bit bumpy, but with that much energy pushing in, it'll still have heavy sections. The point and reef setup will handle this period a lot better than the beach banks. This is the biggest and most powerful swell of the entire run, but with that size, it’s not for beginners.
So, to keep it simple: Saturday the 19th for the cleanest glassy session, and Saturday the 26th for the biggest, most powerful groundswell of the whole period.
Stay stoked, 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.
