The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Coronation Beach, but you’ll have to sit through a couple of ordinary days first. The opening of the week is a write-off, with a messy cross-onshore breeze and poor conditions both Monday morning and afternoon. The swell is building, but the wind is ruining it, so don’t even bother paddling out.

Come Tuesday morning, August 18th, the whole game changes. It’s glassy, the wind is a bare whisper from the northeast at just 3 mph, and we’ve got a proper 12 ft SW groundswell pulsing in at a long 17 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving—combined energy is 6187 (strong), meaning serious power. This is exceptional surf, but only for experts; at this size, it’s well over the 8 ft mark, so it’s big and heavy. The long period will make it a bit bowling at a beach-and-reef setup like Coronation, but with clean conditions, it’s the standout of the entire forecast.

Tuesday afternoon drops slightly to 10 ft from the WSW, still a groundswell at 16 seconds, but the wind swings west and goes light onshore. It’s questionable. Wednesday morning, August 19th, is your next real shot: 8 ft SW swell with that same long 15-second period and a light offshore breeze from the ESE at 6 mph. Conditions are clean and the energy is still moderate to strong (2465). This is solid for experienced surfers, but still too big for beginners.

The rest of the first week is a mix of clean but crumbling conditions as the swell slowly backs off through Thursday, Friday, and into Saturday. Winds are mostly cross-offshore, keeping things tidy, but the wave quality is only marginal—still rideable, just not firing. By Sunday the 23rd, the wind turns cross-onshore and the energy drops to 832 (weak), so the surf turns poor again.

We then hit a bit of a lull through the middle of the second week, with Monday the 24th offering some marginal 8 ft to 8 ft SW swells but with cross-shore chop. Nothing to get excited about. Tuesday the 25th is poor by afternoon, and Wednesday the 26th stays poor or marginal. Then, on Thursday morning, August 27th, we see a glimmer: 5 ft SW groundswell at 15 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. The energy is moderate (1237) and the surf is clean—excellent for experienced surfers, with smaller, more manageable size.

Friday the 28th morning is another clean, small day with 4 ft SW swell and a straight offshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph. That’s clean, but it’s only 777 energy (weak), so it’s a fun little session, not a standout.

The final standout of the run comes on Tuesday, September 1st—that’s over a week away, so treat it as promising but less certain. The morning shows a big 12 ft SW swell, 17-second period, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SE. Clean conditions and big energy (5866). Again, experts only at that size. The afternoon drops to 10 ft but stays clean.

Overall, the two proper standouts are Tuesday morning August 18th and Tuesday morning September 1st—both are big, powerful, clean swells for experienced surfers. The break can get crowded, but with this size, it’ll thin the pack out. Water temperature is sitting at 67°, which is about normal for this time of year.

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.
