The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for Coronation Beach.
It’s a slow start. There’s some swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and making things choppy, so don’t rush out yet. Water temp is about 68°, pretty normal for this time of year.
The first real standout is Wednesday morning, September 16 at Coronation Beach. Glassy conditions – dead calm wind. Swell is about 5ft from the SW with a 14-second interval, so solid groundswell. The combined energy is decent (992). That’s going to be clean and lined up, good for intermediates. But watch out, the crowd can show up sometimes.
Thursday morning, September 24 is another one to mark. Swell around 6ft from the SW, and the period is 18 seconds – that’s very long period groundswell. Energy is strong (2249). Light offshore wind from the SSE will keep it clean. That long period may make it a bit too straight for the beach break, but if you’ve got a reef or point in mind, it’ll be unreal.
Friday morning, September 25 also looks excellent. Offshore wind from the ENE, 6ft SW swell at 17 seconds. Clean conditions and plenty of energy (1846). This is more for the experienced crew – that size and power is no joke.
The weekend of September 19-20 has some big swell – 10ft on Saturday – but the wind is messy and cross-shore, making it lumpy and tough to surf. The energy is massive (4413), but you’re better off with a kite if you’re into that.
Overall, the first week is flat until Wednesday the 16th. Then we have a few clean mornings. The best is Wednesday the 16th for that glassy, clean SW groundswell. The 24th and 25th are solid for experts if the swell lines up right.
Keep your eyes on the forecast and don’t sleep on that Wednesday glass-off.

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.
