The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Coronation Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. Friday morning (17th) is a write-off with a messy 5ft cross-shore from a northerly and rain. The water’s sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. That 2° anomaly is enough to feel it on the walk down. Friday afternoon stays ugly with a storm risk and onshore wind. Saturday morning (18th) is still lumpy with a cross-on breeze, but the swell is starting to build.

The real turnaround hits Saturday afternoon (18th) when a 10ft SW groundswell rolls in with a solid 14-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 4554 (moderate to strong). It’s a bit of a beast though – that’s expert territory at that size. The wind is gentle cross-shore, so there’ll be some shape but it’s not glassy. Sunday morning (19th) is the first real standout: clean conditions with a 8ft SW groundswell, 15-second period, and a light cross-off breeze from the ESE. That’s a beautiful setup for a beach and reef break like this. The energy is strong at 2585.

Monday morning (20th) is still clean with a 5ft SW swell, but the energy drops to 892 (moderate). The following week stays consistent with clean, cross-off winds most mornings. Tuesday (21st) through Thursday (24th) mornings offer clean 4ft to 6ft SW groundswells – fun, manageable, and good for intermediate surfers. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out.

Then we hit a real gem. Saturday morning (25th) goes glassy with 3 mph offshore wind from the ESE. The swell is only 4ft, but it’s clean as a whistle. The same goes for Sunday morning (26th) – 3ft with offshore glass. That’s the kind of morning you paddle out early for.

Now, here’s the big one. Skip ahead to Saturday the 1st of August. The morning serves up an 8ft SW groundswell with an 18-second period, and the energy is massive at 5617 (very strong). The wind is offshore and moderate, so it’s clean. The afternoon jumps to 10ft with the same period and light offshore breeze. This is exceptional surf, but it’s strictly for experts. The long period (over 15 seconds) means it’ll be better shaped but with longer lulls between sets. At a beach and reef setup, that long period can make it a bit walled, but the offshore wind will hold it together.

The best of the whole run? Saturday the 1st of August for the big-wave crew, no question. For the everyday surfer, Sunday morning (19th) is the cleanest and most accessible standout with that 8ft, 15-second groundswell and cross-off breeze.

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.
