The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Coronation Beach over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow starter, but don’t write it off – there’s some real quality to be had if you’re patient.
The first few days are a write-off, I’m sorry to say. Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th are a mess. Strong cross and cross-onshore winds, a lumpy, choppy sea state – the swell is there, but it’s just not surfable. You’d be wasting your time. We’ve got a few days of frustration, but things start to turn around.
Saturday the 18th is where it gets interesting. The morning is still a bit marginal with a cross-shore wind and a 8ft swell, but the afternoon is a real standout. The wind swings light and gentle from the SSE, giving us clean conditions. The swell is pumping at 10ft from the SW with a period of 16 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 4342. That’s proper groundswell, and it’s going to be powerful. This is for experienced surfers only – it’s too big for beginners, but if you’ve got the skills, it’s going to be a session to remember.
Sunday the 19th keeps the good times rolling. The morning is clean with a 8ft SW swell, and the afternoon is where it’s at. Light offshore wind from the E, 6 mph, with a 7ft SW swell. The conditions are clean, and the waves will have shape. This is another excellent window for the experienced crew.
The start of the following week, Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st, drops off a bit. The swell backs down to 4ft-5ft, and the winds are clean but the energy is moderate. It’s not terrible, but it’s not the star of the show.
Now, keep your eye on Wednesday the 22nd. The morning sees a moderate offshore breeze from the E at 16 mph, with a 6ft SW groundswell. The wave energy is moderate (961), but the conditions are clean and the swell direction is perfect for this spot. It’s a solid weekday option.
Looking further ahead, the long-range forecast is promising but a bit less certain. Thursday the 30th of July is a real standout. The afternoon sees a solid 7ft SW swell with a very long period of 19 seconds and a massive combined energy of 4083. The wind is offshore from the ESE. This is a powerful, clean swell. It’s going to be a big day for the experienced surfer.
Before that, Monday the 27th of July morning is also worth a mention: a 6ft SW swell with gentle offshore winds.
The crowds at Coronation Beach can be an issue, it’s a consistent spot, so don’t expect to have it to yourself, especially on the weekend.
The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a decent wetsuit is a good idea for the first session.
The best bet overall? Saturday afternoon the 18th for the biggest, cleanest groundswell of the early period, and Thursday afternoon the 30th of July for the long-range, powerful swell. Those are the two to circle on the calendar.
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.
