The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for Coronation Beach.
Honestly, it’s a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, with some real highs and some low, blowy days. We’ve got a big swell hitting right away, but the wind is going to be a problem early on. The real gem in the rough is way out near the end of the window, around the 22nd and into the 24th.
Right now, on Sunday the 9th, the swell is a solid 12 feet from the SW with a long 17-second period. That’s a ton of energy in the water (6423). A real shame the wind is a light cross from the south, leaving things looking just okay. The water is about average temp for this time of year. This is a powerful, big swell – over 8 feet, so experts only at this beach and reef setup.
Monday the 10th is a total loss. The wind goes onshore and nasty, hitting 22 mph in the afternoon and ruining that 8-foot swell. Tuesday the 11th is cleaner with an offshore angle, but the swell is still a hefty 12 feet, and it’s only considered so-so. Still expert territory.
The first real chance comes on Wednesday morning the 12th. We’ve got a clean offshore wind from the east at 12 mph and a 8-foot SW swell. That’s still a big wave, but the offshore wind will groom it nicely for the experienced crowd. Thursday and Friday mornings (13th and 14th) are repeats: offshore wind, clean surf, with the swell dropping a touch to around 8 feet.
By Saturday the 15th, the swell drops to a friendlier 6 feet, but the wind goes cross-shore, and the quality fades. Sunday the 16th morning is clean with a 5-foot swell from the NE, a much nicer size for intermediates.
We hit a rough patch from the 17th to the 20th. The wind is messy, onshore or strong cross-onshore, and the swell is either too big or blown out. The 19th and 20th are especially terrible with heavy rain and strong onshore winds. This stretch is more for the kiteboarders, with strong winds and lumpy, messy surf.
Now, lock in on Saturday the 22nd of August. That’s the one. Morning shows a solid 10-foot SW swell with a long 17-second period and clean cross-off winds from the ESE. The wave energy is massive at 7885. This is a big event, only for experts, but with that clean wind, it’s going to be a heavy, powerful day. The afternoon is still clean with 12-foot surf. Circle this one, but being two weeks out, it’s promising, not a guarantee.
Then, we get a beautiful glass-off on Monday the 24th. Almost no wind, and a clean 7-foot SW swell. That’s a gorgeous, clean wave for the experienced guys, and the crowd might be thin.
So, it’s a bumpy road with a big, clean payoff right at the end. The beach can get busy when it’s good, so aim for the 22nd or that glassy 24th.

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.
