The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Coronation Beach. It’s a beach and reef setup, beginner-friendly, and it’s consistent, so there’s always something to check.
The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are looking rough with solid 10ft to 8ft SW swells, but the wind is howling from the south at 18 to 19 mph, making a mess of things. The wave energy is massive (4382) but the quality is shot. Just leave it.
Saturday the 29th sees a drop in size, down to 3ft to 4ft, with a very long period swell (19 to 21 seconds). That kind of period can be tricky on a beach break, but it’s clean with cross-off winds. The energy is moderate (942-1130), but it’s not the main event.
Sunday the 30th is the first real standout. The morning session is where it’s at. The wind goes glassy from the west at 3 mph, and you’ve got a clean 7ft SW groundswell with a 19-second period. The combined energy is pumping (3099). This is perfect for experienced surfers; the water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The swell direction is straight out of the SW, which is the optimum for this spot. Get on it early before the wind swings around.
After the 30th, things get messy again with cross-on winds and choppy conditions through the 31st and into September. The swell hangs around 5ft to 6ft, but the wind is never your friend.
Then, hold onto your boards for Sunday the 6th of September. This is the big one. We’re looking at a 10ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period and glassy conditions from the ENE at 3 mph. The wave energy is massive (4099). This is a session for the experienced crew only – that’s a lot of water moving. The wind is offshore, so the waves will be clean and lined up. It’s over 8ft, so beginners, sit this one out. The forecast is a week and a half out, so it’s promising, but keep an eye on it.
The days leading up to the 6th (September 4th and 5th) have solid 8ft to 10ft SW swell, but the wind is a mess – onshore or cross-shore – so they’ll be blown out.
The following Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th still have that big 10ft SW energy (4643-5213), but the wind is cross-on or cross, so it’s going to be tough to find a clean face. The energy is immense, but it’s for the dedicated and the strong.
The last real highlight is on Thursday the 10th of September. The swell drops to a manageable 8ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the wind is light cross-off from the SSE at 6 mph. The energy is solid (2667), and it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. That morning session is your best bet for a clean, powerful wave without the chaos of the weekend.
To be honest, Sunday the 30th and Sunday the 6th are the true standouts. The 30th is a sure thing for clean, big surf, and the 6th is a monster swell with the potential for perfect conditions if the wind holds. Get your rest in between, because when it’s on at Coronation, it’s on.
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.
