The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Coronation Beach. We’ve got a 16-day window, and while there’s a bit of a slow start, there’s some serious juice coming down the line.
The first decent surf we see arrives on Thursday, September 3rd. The morning kicks off with a clean 7ft south-west swell, period around 14 seconds, and it’s dead glassy. The water’s sitting at 69°, which is bang on average for this time of year. The combined energy is pumping hard at 1688, so there’s plenty of power. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but that 7ft is getting up there, so it’s not one for the beginners. The afternoon goes a bit pear-shaped as the wind swings cross-on, so grab it early.
The stand-out window, and I mean the real standout, is Monday, September 7th. We get a solid 10ft south-west swell with a very long period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is massive at 4710 – that’s some serious grunt. The wind is cross-off and clean, keeping those big lines in order. This is absolutely for experts only; at over 8ft, it’s going to be a handful. The afternoon eases a touch to 8ft with a 16-second period, still clean, and still a lot of wave. With a period that long, this swell might be a bit too straight for a beach break, but Coronation is a beach and reef setup, so there’s a chance those reefs will really focus the energy.
The next best day is Wednesday, September 9th. It’s a bit smaller at 8ft, but the period is still a solid 16 seconds, and we get proper offshore winds from the east. The morning is a moderate breeze, but the afternoon is a gentle offshore, which is prime. The energy is still strong at 2711, making for clean, powerful waves. That’s the one to circle.
There’s a long gap after that. Thursday the 10th still has a fun 5ft morning on offer, but it’s smaller. Then we have a string of days with onshore winds and choppy conditions until we get to the very end of the run.
The very last chance is Friday, September 18th, in the morning. It’s a smaller 5ft south-west swell, but the wind is dead glassy again. The energy is lighter at 1073, but it’ll be clean and un-crowded feeling. A nice way to finish the forecast if you’re after a cruisy session.
Crowds at Coronation Beach are a sometimes thing, so they could be a factor on the standout days, especially Monday the 7th. Keep that in mind.
Rusty, out.

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.
