The Lowdown
Righto, let’s get into it. The only spot we’ve got to talk about for the next sixteen days is Coronation Beach. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, exposed to the southwest swell. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much right on the money for this time of year – no surprises there.
We’re looking at a solid run of southwest groundswell kicking off on Tuesday the 11th. It’s a big, powerful one though. That first afternoon sees a 12-foot southwest swell with a long 16-second period and a combined energy of 6473 – that’s strong, serious energy. The wind is a cross-off from the southeast at 15 mph, so it’ll be clean, but mate, 12-foot is proper hefty. That’s expert-only territory at a beach-and-reef setup like this. The long period means the waves will have plenty of punch and those longer lulls between sets, which helps with getting out the back, but it’s strictly for the experienced crew.
Wednesday the 12th morning is a standout. The swell drops to a still-chunky 8-foot, still from the southwest with a 16-second period, and the wind comes in from the east at 12 mph, making it offshore. That’s 3499 combined energy, moderate to strong, and excellent conditions for those who know what they’re doing. It’s a cracking morning for experienced surfers – clean, powerful, and consistent.
Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th mornings hang in there with 8-foot to 8-foot southwest swell. Friday morning is especially nice with a gentle offshore breeze from the east-northeast at 9 mph, keeping it clean. The energy is still moderate to strong (3077 and 2795), but the quality remains high for the experienced surfers.
Over the weekend, Saturday the 15th morning still has a solid 6-foot southwest swell with a 14-second period and a light offshore. It’s backing off a bit, but still a good wave. Sunday the 16th sees a drop and a shift in wind – the morning is small at 4-foot, but the afternoon bumps back up to 6-foot with a light southerly cross. It’s not the best of the week, but there’s still something to ride.
Now, a real standout further out. Lock in Saturday the 22nd morning. The swell steps back up to a solid 8-foot from the southwest, with a very long 18-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy (3836). The wind is a light southerly cross-off at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. That’s a guaranteed good one for the experienced folk. And then Sunday the 23rd morning looks glassy – 8-foot southwest swell with calm winds and glassy conditions. That’s a special morning, clean as a whistle, with 2620 moderate-to-strong energy.
Through the second week, the swell hangs around but the winds get a bit more cross or onshore at times. Wednesday the 26th morning is worth a mention, with a clean 6-foot swell and a light cross-off breeze. A decent option for the more advanced surfers who are keen for a paddle.
Overall, Coronation Beach has waves pretty much the whole run. The best bets for experienced surfers are Wednesday the 12th morning, Friday the 14th morning, and that far-out Saturday the 22nd morning. The glassy Sunday the 23rd morning is a real treat for the soul.

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.
