The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some solid groundswell on the horizon. The main event is a long-period SW groundswell that builds through the week, and while it’s going to be a bit of a wait for the real clean stuff, there’s a window on Thursday morning that’s an absolute standout.
Alright, let’s get into it. We’re starting on Tuesday, the 8th of September. The swell is already up at 8.2ft from the SW, with a very long period of 16 seconds – that’s pure groundswell energy. The combined energy is pumping at 3058 (moderate to strong). But the wind is a cross-off from the SE at 18.6 mph, so it’s gonna be a bit on the lumpy side. The forecast is calling it marginal, and honestly, with that much wind, it’s more for the experienced crew. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Moving into Wednesday, the 9th, the swell drops a touch to 6.6ft, but the period stays at a solid 16 seconds. The wind swings to the E at 21.7 mph in the morning, giving us a fresh offshore. This is better, but it’s still a strong breeze, so the surface will be a bit bumpy. The energy is still strong at 2029. The afternoon is similar with a clean offshore feel, but it’s still not the best.
Now, here’s the one to circle. Thursday morning, the 10th of September. The swell is 4.9ft from the SW, period of 15 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the ENE at 15.5 mph. The combined energy is 1075 (moderate). This is the cleanest window in the first week. The break is Coronation Beach – a beach and reef setup that’s exposed to the SW. With that offshore wind and a solid groundswell, it’s going to be excellent for experienced surfers. The long period means the waves will have plenty of push and shape, perfect for the reef. The downside? Crowds are sometimes an issue, so you might have to share the peak.
Thursday afternoon, the wind shifts to a cross-shore from the S at 9.3 mph, and the swell drops to 4.6ft. It’s a bit weaker, with energy down to 985. The surface gets a little chop, so the morning is definitely the go.
Friday, the 11th, the swell is still around 4.6ft, but the wind is onshore from the WNW at 12.4 mph by the afternoon. It’s getting messy. The energy is decent at 1884 in the arvo, but the onshore wind will ruin the face. Not a good call.
The weekend rolls in, and it’s not pretty. Saturday, the 12th, the swell jumps to 5.9ft, but the wind is cross-onshore from the WNW at 15.5 mph, making it choppy and poor. Sunday, the 13th, is similar – 6.2ft to 6.6ft swells, but the wind is cross-on or cross, and the surface is messy. The energy is still strong, but the wind is killing it.
We get another nice window on Monday morning, the 14th of September. The swell is 6.2ft from the SW, period of 14 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-off from the SE at 6.2 mph. The combined energy is 1491 (moderate). This is clean, with light winds, and it’s excellent for experienced surfers. The lighter breeze means the surface will be glassy. This is a solid second option if you miss Thursday.
After that, the wind gets messy again from Monday afternoon through the rest of the week. Tuesday, the 15th, has 7.2ft swell but a strong cross-shore wind, creating lumpy chop. Wednesday, the 16th, looks a bit cleaner in the morning with a cross-off from the SSE at 9.3 mph, but the swell is 5.9ft and the energy is 1684. It’s a marginal call.
Now, the second week. From Thursday, the 17th, to the 23rd of September, it’s a mixed bag. Thursday the 17th is poor – onshore winds, small swell. Friday the 18th has 6.9ft swell but strong cross-onshore winds from the NW at 18.6 mph, making it a complete mess. This is more for kite surfers than paddle surfers. Saturday the 19th is still poor, but by Saturday afternoon the wind goes cross-off from the SSE, so it might clean up a bit. Sunday the 20th has onshore wind in the morning, but the swell is 5.9ft.
The real standout in the second week is Wednesday morning, the 23rd of September. The swell is pumping at 11.5ft from the SW, with a period of 16 seconds. The combined energy

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.
