The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell heading our way, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag on the wind for a while. The first few days are a write-off with onshore winds, but from Sunday morning, it really starts to clean up. We’re looking at a long period SW groundswell that just keeps giving, with a couple of absolute standouts in the mix.

The week kicks off with a massive pulse of swell. Thursday and Friday the 6th and 7th are seeing 8ft to 10ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it messy and choppy. It’s not doing much for us. Saturday the 8th gets worse with a strong fresh breeze and a jump in height to 12ft-13ft, but it’s lumpy and blown out. Honestly, that Saturday arvo setup with 13ft of SW swell and a fresh cross-shore wind looks more interesting for kite surfing than a good paddle session.

Then we hit the jackpot. Sunday morning, the 9th of August, is your first true standout. The wind drops to a glassy ESE breeze, and we’ve got a clean 13ft SW groundswell rolling in with a 17-second period. The combined energy is massive at 8982, and it’s setting up for exceptional surf. This is a big, powerful swell – over 8ft, so it’s strictly for the experienced crew. The long period (17 seconds) means it will be a proper groundswell, with long lulls between sets, but clean, powerful lines. At Coronation Beach (beach and reef), those long period swells can be a bit tricky, but with glassy conditions, it’s going to be a special session.

Monday the 10th sees a bit of a wind shift back to a messy cross-onshore, so we’ll take a breather. But Tuesday the 11th is another cracker. The wind is coming from the SE, cross-offshore, and we’ve got a solid 13ft SW swell with an 18-second period. The energy is huge at 10527, and the waves are described as clean. After that, Wednesday the 12th has a clean offshore E wind, but the swell drops to 8ft. Still a very good day for experienced surfers.

Now, the second standout is shaping up for the following week. Thursday the 13th of August. This one is a long-range call, so a bit less certain, but the charts look incredible. We’re looking at an 12ft SW swell with a super long period of 21 seconds. The energy is massive again at 9130, and conditions are forecast to be glassy and clean with a moderate offshore breeze from the E. The report calls it exceptional for expert surfers. If this holds, it’s the best of the whole run. The very long period (21 seconds) will make it a dream for the reef and point setups at Coronation Beach, with long, powerful, down-the-line waves.

The swell starts to fade from the 15th, dropping to 6ft, and the wind stays clean through the weekend. By the 16th and 17th, it gets smaller and the wind turns more onshore. The 18th brings another pulse of 12ft swell, but with a strong onshore wind, it’s not worth it. The tail end of the forecast, around the 19th and 20th, sees a cleaner, smaller swell (5ft to 8ft) with cross-offshore winds, but it’s nothing compared to the two big days.

So, to sum it up: if you’re an expert, your clear winner is Sunday the 9th of August. The second best, and the one to keep an eye on, is Thursday the 13th of August. Don’t waste your time on the first few days.

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.
