The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna lie to you – the next few days are a bit of a grind. The surf is there, but it's not exactly screaming for a paddle. We’ve got a solid run of swell coming through, but the wind is a frustrating cross-off most of the time, keeping things from being truly clean. But hang tight, because there are a couple of windows that’ll make it all worth it.
Let’s start with what’s on offer. Coronation Beach is a consistent beach and reef setup, and it’s exposed to the SW. The water temp is sitting at 69.1°, which is about normal for this time of year, no big surprises there.
From Sunday the 19th to through Tuesday the 22nd, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. You’ve got a 6.9 ft SW swell on Sunday afternoon with a moderate cross-off wind, wave energy is moderate (1728). It’s not terrible, but it’s not the standout. Monday and Tuesday drop to 5.2 ft and 4.6 ft, still cross-off, and the energy dips a bit too. These are just groove-in sessions, if you ask me.
Now, Wednesday the 22nd morning is where it starts to get interesting. The wind swings offshore from the ESE, blowing at 15 mph – that’s a proper offshore wind. The swell is 5.2 ft from the SW, period 13 seconds, and the wave energy is moderate (809). The forecast is calling for "very good surf conditions." This is a solid, clean, manageable wave for a surfer of any level. The best of the early week.
Thursday the 23rd morning is also worth a look, with a fresh offshore from the ENE (19 mph), with a 5.6 ft SW swell. The energy is solid (1196), and it’s clean. But Thursday afternoon is a true standout. The wind goes offshore from the ESE, 12 mph, with a 5.2 ft SW swell, period 14 seconds. The wave energy is 1094, and the forecast says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is a big, powerful, clean wave. The swell is over 4.9 ft, so it’s not for the groms, but if you’ve got the chops, this is the session to target.
Friday the 24th drops off a cliff – swell drops to 3.6 ft, and the conditions are poor. Saturday the 25th is a bit of a tease. The morning is a washout with a cross-off and poor surf, but Saturday afternoon is a glass-off dream. The wind is glassy from the north at 3 mph, and the swell is a clean 3.3 ft from the SW. The energy is low (383), but the glassy conditions make it a perfect longboard or funboard session. It’s small, but it’s pure.
Sunday the 26th starts okay but turns ugly by the afternoon with a 6.9 ft SW swell and a messy cross-on wind. That’s a skip.
Now, looking into the second week, we’ve got a big pulse. Monday the 27th is a monster: 11.5 ft SW swell, period 15 seconds, and the wave energy is huge (5603). That’s a very strong, long-period groundswell. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but at 11.5 ft, this is strictly for experts. The period is over 15 seconds, so it’s going to be a powerful, deep-water swell with long lulls between sets. That kind of energy is best at the reef or point, but at a beach break it can be a bit of a freight train. It’s the biggest swell of the period, but it’s not for the faint-hearted.
Tuesday the 28th morning is another strong option, with a 7.5 ft SW swell and a moderate offshore wind from the ESE. The energy is 1829, and the forecast says "excellent for experienced surfers." This is a big, clean, powerful swell.
The end of the month and into August brings a few more options. Wednesday the 29th morning is a beautiful, long-period swell (19 seconds) with a gentle offshore wind. The swell is only 3.6 ft, but the energy is 1298, meaning there’s plenty of power in the water. The period is very long, so it’s going to be a clean, hollow wave, but it might be a bit too straight for a beach break. It’s best for the reef.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are looking smaller, with 3.6 ft to 4.6 ft swells, and the wind is mixed. Saturday the 1st of August has a 6.6 ft SW swell with a cross-off wind, and Sunday the 2nd has a 7.2 ft SW swell. The energy is high (2598 and 2468), but the wind is cross-off, so it’s workable.
Monday the 3rd of August is another solid shout. A 5.6 ft SW swell, period 15 seconds, with a

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.
