The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, it's been a quiet start, but things are gonna kick off in a big way. The first decent surf arrives Tuesday the 11th, and it's a solid, powerful start. We're looking at Coronation Beach, a classic beach and reef set-up that's exposed to the south-west, and that's exactly where the energy is coming from.
Right out of the gate on Tuesday the 11th, we've got a serious 12ft swell rolling in from the SW with a really long 16 second period. There's a massive amount of energy in the water, so you know there's some grunt behind it. The wind is a cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but that's a heap of water for a beginner. The morning looks the pick with a moderate breeze, giving it a clean look. By the afternoon the wind picks up a fraction.
Wednesday the 12th is where it gets interesting. The swell drops a touch to 8ft, still from the SW with that long 16 second period, but the wind goes pure offshore from the east. The morning is the standout, with 8ft and a clean, moderate offshore wind spawning some excellent, powerful lines for experienced surfers. The period and direction are a match for the break's optimum, so expect some grinding walls. It's a bit much for learners, but for the crew who know what they're doing, Wednesday morning is the one to circle. Thursday the 13th keeps the quality up with a 8ft SW swell and 15 seconds, and another clean, offshore morning.
The swell eases into the weekend, with Saturday the 15th seeing a drop to 6ft and some cross-shore wind making things a bit bumpy by the afternoon. Sunday the 16th gets messy with onshore winds.
Just a heads up, the following Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th bring a big spike in swell, but the wind is a problem. Monday looks a write-off with a strong, lumpy cross-onshore wind, even with a 8ft swell at 19 seconds. Tuesday the 18th is the real diamond in the rough. The morning offers a clean 8ft SW swell at 16 seconds with a light offshore breeze, giving it a clean, powerful look. That's another proper session for the experienced crew.
We then hit a rough patch. From Wednesday the 19th through Saturday the 22nd, the wind is howling. We get a massive 13ft swell mid-week, but it's blown out and choppy with strong cross-onshore winds – that's kite-surfing territory, not really for the paddle. The water's got wild energy but it's just messy.
The outlook starts to recover on Sunday the 23rd with a clean, offshore morning. A solid 8ft SW groundswell at a long 17 seconds with a moderate offshore breeze. The water is about average temperature for the time of year, so not too warm, not too cold. The waves will have plenty of power and be well-shaped, but with that period they might break a bit straight on the beach sections. It clears through Monday the 24th, leaving just small 5ft leftovers.
All in all, the clear winner here is Wednesday morning, 12th of August with that clean offshore wind and solid 8ft SW swell. Keep your eyes peeled for Tuesday morning, 18th of August too – that's another gem if you can wait. It will be a bit of a wait, but there are waves to be had.
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.
