The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
We've got a solid run of surf coming up, but it's not all smooth sailing. The first few days are a bit touch and go, but there are some real gems hidden in there, especially for the more experienced crew.
The water temperature is sitting at 20.4°, which is a touch cooler than the long-term average for this time of year, but nothing too crazy. Just means you might want a slightly thicker spring suit.
Let's kick off on Wednesday, 22 July. The morning is a bit of a write-off with a strong 15.5 mph ESE wind, but the swell is a clean 4.9 ft from the SW, period at 13 seconds, and the energy is moderate (721). Not the best, but a few waves could be had if you're keen. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 5.6 ft, but the wind swings SE and goes cross-off, making it a bit more workable. The energy jumps to a strong (1950), but the forecast says marginal, so don't expect perfection.
Thursday, 23 July is where things start to get interesting. The morning has a clean 5.9 ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and a solid 18.6 mph offshore wind from the east. The energy is pumping (1402), and this is a genuine standout for the experienced surfer. The afternoon is even better: the wind drops to 12.4 mph, still offshore, the swell is 5.6 ft, and the energy is strong (1179). The report says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and I'm feeling that. This is the best of the first week.
Friday, 24 July is a bit of a letdown. The morning drops to 3.9 ft with a cross-off wind, and the energy is weak (495). The afternoon is smaller at 3.6 ft, but the wind goes light offshore from the east, making it clean. A good option for a beginner or a longboarder, but not a standout.
Saturday, 25 July is small. The morning has 3.0 ft with a cross-off, and the afternoon picks up to 3.3 ft with a slight cross-off from the SSE. Clean, but not much push.
Sunday, 26 July is a frustrating one. The morning is glassy with a 2.6 ft SW swell, but the period is a massive 16 seconds. This is a very long period groundswell. At a beach and reef setup like Coronation Beach, that long period can make the waves break a bit too straight and fat. It's clean, but not exciting. The afternoon goes cross-off and lumpy, bringing the score down.
Now, Monday, 27 July is another standout. The morning delivers a 6.9 ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and a clean 15.5 mph offshore wind from the ESE. The energy is very strong (1549), and the report calls it excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon is just as good with 6.6 ft and a lighter cross-off. This is a big day for the confident crew.
Tuesday, 28 July stays solid. The morning has 5.6 ft with a cross-off, and the afternoon is a gem: 5.2 ft, a 6.2 mph offshore from the east, and a 14-second period. The energy is strong (1315), and the report says excellent. This is a great session for intermediates and above.
From Wednesday, 29 July through to Saturday, 1 August, the wind turns nasty. We've got strong cross and onshore winds, with the swell getting big—up to 9.8 ft on the 31st and 8.2 ft on the 1st—but it's going to be a mess. The energy is very strong (over 4000 on the 31st), but the conditions are poor. This is a definite gap for quality surfing. If you're a kite surfer, this setup might look interesting, but for paddle surfing, it's a hard pass.
Sunday, 2 August is a bit of a wild card. The morning is still windy and lumpy, but the afternoon sees a massive 11.5 ft SW swell with a 20-second period. The energy is extreme (9416). The wind is a cross-shore, so it's not clean, but for a big wave expert at a reef or point, there might be something to chase. It's a low-confidence call.
Monday, 3 August brings a return to form. The

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.
