Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We've got a solid run of swell on the cards for Coronation Beach, but it's a bit of a slow burner early on. The water is a touch colder than usual for this time of year, sitting at 69°, about 2° below average, so you'll want a decent spring suit.

The action starts Thursday morning, July 9th, with a 7ft swell from the WSW, but it's a bit messy with a cross-shore wind. The wave energy is massive though, at 1956, so there's plenty of grunt in the water. Stay patient. By Friday morning, July 10th, the wind swings SE and goes clean cross-off, dropping the swell to a cleaner 5ft from the SW. The energy is still moderate at 613, and it's a much better prospect for the intermediate crowd.

The real standout, and the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Sunday morning, July 12th. The wind is offshore from the ESE, and we've got a solid 7ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2528, which is strong. This is a powerful, clean swell that will be pushing through. Because it's such a long period, it might be a bit too straight for the beach break, but it's a beach and reef setup here, so it should handle it well. This is the pick of the first week—expert surfers only, as it's over 8ft.

Monday, July 13th, keeps the energy high with 8ft SW swell and 17-second periods, but the wind is cross-off, so it's still clean but less perfect than Sunday. The energy is huge at 3184. Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, is another good call with a 7ft SW swell and a gentle breeze, keeping it clean.

We hit a bit of a lull mid-week, but then Thursday afternoon, July 16th, throws up a gem. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, from the west, with a 5ft SW swell. That's as clean as it gets, and the energy is still solid at 1004. Saturday morning, July 18th, is also a cracker—another flat calm, glassy morning, with 6ft WSW swell. This is a great session for the more experienced surfer, as the smaller size makes it more accessible.

The second week gets a bit messy with onshore winds, but the swell sticks around. There's a big pulse building for the end of the week. Thursday, July 23rd, sees an 8ft SW swell pushing in with a light cross-on breeze. But the absolute standout of the entire forecast, and the one that's worth the wait, is Friday morning, July 24th. We're looking at an 12ft SW groundswell, with a clean offshore ESE wind. The energy is off the charts at 5144. This is a big, powerful, clean swell for expert surfers only. It's a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it looks like a serious session.

Rusty.
