The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Coronation Beach. It’s a beach and reef setup that’s wide open to the southwest, so it catches the good groundswell. It’s consistent, handles a decent size, and is friendly for beginners when it’s small. The water’s about 69°, which is a touch cooler than normal for this time of year—nothing crazy, just a little fresh.
The first good pulse hits on Tuesday, July 14th. Morning brings a clean 6ft SW swell with a 15-second period, strong energy (1589), and a cross-off wind from the NE at 19 mph. It’s a bit breezy, but the waves have shape and power. The afternoon is the real standout—1.8m (6ft) SW swell, same 15-second period, and an offshore ENE breeze at 9 mph. The water goes glassy, the energy is still strong (1441), and the waves are clean and well-shaped. This is the session to lock in.
Wednesday the 15th holds similar size, 5ft SW, 14-second period, but the morning is cross-off with a fresh NNE breeze at 19 mph. It’s surfable, but not as clean as Tuesday afternoon. The afternoon turns onshore from the west, so forget it.
Thursday and Friday the 16th and 17th drop off. Swell backs to 5ft, then 5ft, periods stay 13–15 seconds, but the wind shifts cross-on and onshore. Thursday afternoon is a wash, and Friday is a total loss with thunderstorms and moderate rain. Stay on the beach.
Saturday the 18th sees a big jump—8ft to 10ft SW swell, 14–15 second period. The morning is cross-on and choppy, but the afternoon settles into a gentle cross-shore with slight chop. The energy is massive (3966), but at 10ft, this is expert-only, and the wind isn’t perfect. It’s more of a show than a session.
Sunday the 19th is the next real standout. Morning has 8ft SW swell, 15-second period, light SSE cross-off breeze at 6 mph, and clean conditions. The energy is strong (2620). This is a powerful wave for experienced surfers, not a beginner day. The afternoon drops to 7ft, still clean, but the morning is the pick.
Monday the 20th is a glassy morning with 5ft SW swell and 13-second period. No wind, flat calm. The energy is moderate (929). This is a beautiful, clean day for a longboard and a relaxed paddle. The afternoon picks up a light cross-on, so get out early.
Tuesday the 21st brings clean conditions again with 6ft SW swell, 11-second period, and a light offshore ENE breeze at 3 mph. The energy is moderate (1025). It’s a pleasant, clean wave, but nothing huge.
Wednesday the 22nd is another clean morning with offshore E wind at 6 mph and 6ft SW swell, 13-second period. The energy is moderate (1006). Good, steady, fun surf.
Thursday the 23rd is a standout morning—glassy, still, with 6ft SW swell, 14-second period, and light ENE breeze at 3 mph. The energy is moderate (1238). This is a real treat, clean and hollow. The afternoon turns cross-shore, so make the most of the morning.
Friday the 24th is clean again with 5ft SW swell, 13-second period, and light SE cross-off wind at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (1067). Another solid morning session.
From Saturday the 25th, the swell fades. Size drops to 5ft, then 4ft, periods stay around 13 seconds. The wind is still favourable, but the energy is dropping (797, then 696). Sunday the 26th drops to 3ft, and the energy is weak (447). It’s small and clean, but not much push.
Monday the 27th sees a tiny bump back to 5ft WSW swell, 11-second period, with a gentle cross-off breeze. The energy is low (508). It’s a fun little wave, but not a main event.
Tuesday the 28th is a glassy morning with 8ft WSW swell, 8-second period. The energy is moderate (953). The period is short, so it’s wind swell, but glassy conditions will make it clean. 8ft is big for most, so this is for experienced surfers only.
Wednesday the 29th finishes the run with 6ft SW swell, 10-second period, and clean cross-off wind. The energy is moderate (1200). A tidy end to the outlook.
Best on offer: Tuesday afternoon the 14th (clean, 6ft, offshore, strong energy) and Sunday morning the 19th (powerful 8ft, clean, groundswell). Both are unforgettable.

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.
