The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's coming up for Coronation Beach over the next couple of weeks.
First off, the first few days are a bit of a mess. The swell is there, but the wind is all cross-shore, churning up a chop that's just not worth paddling into. Hang tight.
The real standout is going to be Thursday morning, September 3rd. That's the one to lock in. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and we've got a solid 7ft SW groundswell. The combined energy is pumping (1688), and with conditions like that, Coronation Beach will be absolutely clean. It's a bit on the bigger side, so it's more for the experienced crew, but if you can handle it, you'll be in for a treat. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.
After that morning, the wind turns onshore through the afternoon and into Friday, with the swell building but the conditions getting choppy. By Saturday the 5th, it's a complete write-off with a strong onshore and even some rain. We're looking at a 10ft swell but with a near gale blowing; that's a kite-surfing session, not a paddle one.
The following week is a mixed bag. There's a nice run of cleaner conditions from Monday the 7th through to Wednesday the 9th. The winds go cross-off to offshore, and the swell stays in the 8ft to 6ft range. The Tuesday afternoon on the 8th has a very long period groundswell of 17 seconds, with a massive 4685 combined energy. That's a lot of power in the water, but those long-period swells can be a bit tricky at a beach break like Coronation, tending to just crumble and close out. It'll be better for the more experienced lads.
The second week brings a drop in size, with the swell dropping to 3ft to 5ft. The 11th sees a very long period 20-second swell, but it's small and the wind is messy. The 12th and 13th have some bigger 7ft swell, but the wind is a problem again, creating a lumpy cross-chop. A few mornings, like the 15th, look clean with cross-off winds, but the swell is only around 6ft, so it's a more intermediate-friendly size.
In short, don't waste your energy on the first few days. Set the alarm for Thursday morning the 3rd – that's your best bet for a clean, punchy session. The week after has some fun windows, but nothing that screams "drop everything." Keep an eye on the forecast, as things can change.
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.
