The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming up for Coronation Beach.
Right now, the surf is pretty average. The first chance to get wet is Sunday morning the 13th. There’s a solid 6ft swell from the SW, but the wind is 9 mph cross-on from the SSW, making it choppy. The water temperature is 68°, which is normal for this time of year. The combined energy is strong at 1533.
Monday the 14th morning is a much better call. The swell is 7ft from the SW with a clean cross-off wind from the SSE at 12 mph. That’s proper groundswell with a 15-second period and combined energy climbing to 1915. It’s a bit too big for beginners, but anyone with some experience will be happy. The long period means good shape and easier paddling between sets.
Tuesday the 15th still has 7ft from the SW, but the wind is light cross from the SSW at 6 mph, so it’s a little rippled. The energy is strong at 1738. Not as clean as Monday.
The real standout is Sunday morning the 20th. The wind goes glassy at 3 mph from the SW, and the swell is a nice 5ft from the SW with a 13-second period. The combined energy is 891. This is the cleanest, most user-friendly surf of the whole outlook. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.
After that, it’s a mixed bag. Monday the 21st has 8ft from the SW but a cross wind from the S at 12 mph making it lumpy. Tuesday the 22nd morning is clean with a cross-off wind and 8ft from the SW (2178 energy), but the afternoon gets blown out.
Late in the month, Monday the 28th morning shows a big 10ft from the WSW with a strong offshore from the ENE at 25 mph – that’s a clean, expert-only beast with massive energy at 3483. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Bottom line: Sunday the 20th is the pick. Glassy, clean, and a solid 5ft from the SW. Monday the 14th morning is your next best option for cleaner conditions and bigger swell.
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.
