The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Coronation Beach, but it’s not all smooth sailing. This is a consistent beach-and-reef setup, exposed to the SW, so when the swell hits, it hits.
The first real action kicks off Friday, July 31st. There’s a solid 6ft SW groundswell rolling in with a very long 17-second period, packing a heap of energy (1858). But the wind is a light cross-shore from the NNW, and the model is calling it marginal. It’s surfable, but messy. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore from the SW, and the quality drops. Not the best start.
Saturday, August 1st is where it starts to clean up. The morning brings a 7ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSE. That’s clean. Really clean. The energy is still strong (1832). This is the pick of the early window for the more experienced crew. The afternoon gets a fresh breeze up, so jump on the morning session.
The swell builds through Sunday and Monday. By Monday afternoon, August 3rd, the wind goes glassy. The swell drops back to 5ft, but with a 15-second period and glassy conditions, it’s one of those perfect, smooth windows. The energy is moderate (1034), but that glass clean-up is a treat.
Tuesday, August 4th sees the swell jump up to 7ft with a huge 19-second period, and the energy is strong (3433). The morning wind is onshore, but the power is undeniable. This is for the experienced surfer only.
The real standout, the one you circle on the calendar, is Wednesday, August 12th. The swell is a solid 12ft from the SW, with a very long 20-second period. The energy is massive (9139). The wind is offshore from the E in the morning, and cross-offshore from the SE in the afternoon. It’s clean, powerful, and absolutely pumping. This is big, expert-level surf. The period is so long that it’s going to be a bit walled-up at a beach break, but the power and the shape will be there for those who can handle it.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report there.
Crowds at Coronation can be an issue, especially on the weekends. For the Wednesday morning session, expect a crowd, but the wave quality will be worth the company.
The second week stays active, but the quality gets messy. The big swell persists, but the wind turns onshore and strong. By the time we get to August 15th, the wind is a strong cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. The setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than the paddle crew by then.
All in all, focus on the Saturday morning, August 1st for a clean, fun session, and the Wednesday, August 12th for the big, powerful, expert-level swell.
Stay stoked, 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.
