Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty. Coronation Beach – this is a classic beach and reef setup, wide open to that SW groundswell, and we’ve got a solid run of surf coming in over the next couple of weeks. The water’s sitting at 69°F, which is about normal for this time of year.

The pattern starts Thursday morning with a 6ft SW swell, period at 14 seconds, and a fresh ENE offshore blowing clean. The combined energy reading is a beefy 1402 (moderate), so you’ll feel the power. Thursday afternoon the swell drops a touch to 6ft, but the wind switches to a lighter ESE offshore, making for cleaner conditions.

Friday the swell backs off to 4ft in the morning, but the wind is a cross-off, so it’s clean but small. The afternoon cleans up with a gentle E offshore at 4ft. Saturday’s similar – small 3ft SW swell, but Saturday afternoon has a light ENE offshore, so you’ll get some fun little ones. Sunday drops right off to 2ft with a cross-on wind, so that’s a write-off.

Now, Monday 27th July morning – the swell jumps to 8ft SW, period 14 seconds, and the combined energy hits 2944 (moderate-to-strong). The wind is SSE cross-off, so it’s clean, but at 8ft, this is really only for experienced surfers. The afternoon stays big but gets a cross-shore chop, so morning is the pick.

Tuesday 28th July morning is a standout – 7ft SW swell, period 14 seconds, with a clean E offshore breeze. The energy is 1669 (moderate), and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon is even cleaner with a light ESE cross-off, but the swell drops a fraction to 6ft. This is your best window early in the week.

Wednesday 29th July sees a drop to 4ft, but the period stretches to 18 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. The morning has a cross-off NE wind, but the energy is still 1369 (moderate). The afternoon goes cross-on with a light WSW breeze, so not great.

Thursday 30th July morning has 4ft SW swell, 16 seconds, and a cross-off NNE wind – clean but small. Then Thursday afternoon – boom. The swell jumps to 7ft, period 19 seconds, combined energy 2878 (moderate-to-strong), and a light SSE cross-off breeze. This is a serious groundswell, clean, and excellent for experienced surfers.

Friday 31st July morning – 7ft SW, 16 seconds, cross-off NE wind, energy 2326 (moderate-to-strong). Another solid session. But Friday afternoon is the true standout: 10ft SW swell, 17 seconds, combined energy 4112 (strong), and a glassy ESE breeze. Conditions are excellent for expert surfers only.

Saturday 1st August backs off to 7ft in the morning, cross-off NE wind, and the afternoon drops to 6ft with a gentle S cross-off.

Sunday 2nd August morning – 7ft SW swell, period 20 seconds, combined energy 5623 (very strong). The wind is a light N cross-shore, so it’s clean but the swell will be pulsing. The afternoon stays at 10ft, 18 seconds, energy 5707 (very strong).

Monday 3rd August morning – the standout. 7ft SW swell, 16 seconds, combined energy 2129 (moderate-to-strong), and glassy conditions. The afternoon drops to 6ft but still clean.

Tuesday 4th August turns onshore and messy – 5ft but with onshore wind, so that’s a skip.

Wednesday 5th August morning – 10ft SW, 16 seconds, energy 3697 (strong), and a clean SSE cross-off. Excellent for experts. The afternoon gets a cross-shore chop.

Thursday 6th August morning – 6ft SW, 14 seconds, gentle E offshore, clean.

And finally, Friday 7th August morning – 10ft SW, 18 seconds, combined energy 5479 (very strong), with a light E offshore. That’s exceptional for expert surfers. The afternoon stays 10ft but gets a cross-shore chop.

So, the best on offer? The glassy Monday 3rd August morning for a clean, powerful 7ft swell, and the Friday 31st July afternoon for that big, clean 10ft beast. Both are for experienced surfers, but they’re the standouts.

Rusty.
