The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
We're looking at a patchy run at Coronation Beach. The first week serves up a lot of so-so conditions, with the wind and swell never quite lining up for a clean, consistent session. The good news is there's plenty of swell on the cards, but the wind is the real story here. The opening days are pretty average. The real standout, and the one I'd be circling, is Wednesday the 2nd of September. The morning session is your best bet early on, with a 6ft SW swell, a 14-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze. The water is 68°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (1238), so there's some push, but it's clean enough to make the most of it. The break is a beach and reef setup, consistent, exposed to the SW swell, which is spot on. Crowds are sometimes a factor, so you might get a few out, but it's worth it.
After that, the wind gets messy. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th see onshore and cross-shore slop, and by Saturday the 5th, the southwesterly winds are howling, making it more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle session. Sunday the 6th is clean but the swell is a bit lumpy.
The next real standout is a week away, on Monday the 7th of September. The morning brings a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a 19-second period. That's a very long period, which means powerful, well-shaped waves, but at beach breaks it can run a bit straight. For a point break or reef like Coronation Beach, it's potential gold. The combined energy is strong (6061), and with a clean cross-off breeze from the ENE, it's going to be big and clean. This is for experienced surfers only – 10ft is no joke. It's a promising but less certain call this far out.
The following week is a mixed bag. Tuesday the 8th is cleaner, but the swell drops. Wednesday the 9th has a tiny 5ft swell with a 24-second period, which is a very long, strong pulse (3546 energy), but it's a marginal forecast. Thursday the 10th is clean but windy, and Friday the 11th has a strong offshore, which makes it clean but hard to paddle into.
Overall, the best on offer is the morning of Wednesday the 2nd, and the big, clean, powerful swell on Monday the 7th for the experienced crew.

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.
