The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid 16-day window of action at Coronation Beach, a beach and reef setup that’s consistent and exposed to the SW. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is about 2° cooler than normal for this time of year – nothing dramatic, just a touch of winter chill still in the water.

The first real standout is Thursday morning, the 20th of August. We’re looking at a clean 8ft SW groundswell, with a very long period of 16 seconds pushing through. The combined wave energy is cranked up at 3710 – that’s strong, powerful stuff. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, making for some clean, lined-up waves. This is serious swell though, over 8ft, so this one’s for the experienced crew only. The long period means the sets will be meaty and well-spaced, perfect for the reef sections here.

Then, Saturday morning the 22nd of August is a beauty. The swell drops a touch to 6ft from the SW, still a solid 14-second period, and the magic word is *glass*. The wind is dead calm, giving you a glassy, smooth surface. The energy is still strong at 2354. This is the pick of the week for the intermediate surfer looking for clean, manageable waves without the crowd stress.

After that, the swell backs off a bit through the middle of the week, but keep an eye on Monday morning, the 24th of August. Clean 6ft SW swell with a light cross-off breeze, energy at 1355. It’s a good, solid option.

There’s a bit of a lull around the 25th and 26th, with the wind turning cross-on and the swell getting messy. Nothing worth paddling out for.

But then, hold on for the end of the month. Saturday morning, the 30th of August, is a serious standout. We’ve got a 7ft SW groundswell, a very long 18-second period, and a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is pumping at 2622. The waves will be powerful and well-shaped, but again, that long period and size means it’s best for the experts.

And for the long-range, check out Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. The forecast is showing a 8ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and it’s *glassy* – light wind, smooth as a lake. The energy is strong at 2433. It’s a promising call, but we’re a couple of weeks out, so don’t book the week off just yet. Keep an eye on it.

Overall, this is a solid run for Coronation Beach. The standout windows are the 20th morning for the big-wave crew, the 22nd morning for the cleaner glassy session, and the 30th morning for another dose of powerful groundswell. The beach and reef setup here handles the SW direction well, but with that long period, the points and reef will be your best bet for a proper wall.

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.
