The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Looking at the 16-day window for Coronation Beach, and I gotta say, the pattern is a bit of a slow burn to start, then it builds into some serious size, but the wind is going to be a major player that decides if that size is actually surfable.
Right from the get-go, Thursday the 30th of July, we've got a 5ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period rolling in. The energy is already strong (1064), but the wind is a cross-shore from the north, so it's a bit chop-prone. The afternoon cleans up a touch with a lighter cross-on from the SW, but it's still marginal. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
Friday the 31st sees the swell bump up to 6ft, still that long-period SW groundswell (17 seconds), and the energy is climbing (1858). The wind is cross-on all day, so while the waves are bigger, they won't be clean. It's a consistent break, so there are waves to be had, but you're fighting the wind.
Now, Saturday the 1st of August is where things start to get interesting. The morning looks clean with a cross-off breeze from the SSE, and the swell sits at a solid 7ft from the SW, with moderate energy (1832). This is good for experienced surfers, but heads up – at 7ft, it's big enough to be a handful for beginners. The afternoon gets windier, and the 7ft swell gets a bit messy.
Sunday the 2nd has a 8ft SW swell in the morning, but the wind is a cross-off from the ENE, keeping it relatively clean. The energy is strong (2216). The afternoon turns cross-shore, so aim for the morning session.
The real standout window is shaping up for the middle of next week. Monday the 4th of August into Tuesday the 5th and Wednesday the 6th is where I'd put my money. Tuesday the 4th has a 8ft SW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, and the energy is howling (4062). The morning is clean with a cross-off wind from the south. This is big, powerful, and long-period. For a beach and reef setup like Coronation, that long period means the waves will be thumping and well-shaped, but the long gaps between sets will make paddling out a bit easier. Wednesday the 5th is similar, with 8ft and clean conditions in the morning. Thursday the 6th of August has a 8ft SW swell, and the wind is dead calm, glassy in the morning. Absolutely perfect conditions for the experienced crew. This is pumping, but it's expert territory at 8ft.
Then things get wild. From Friday the 7th of August through to Sunday the 10th, the swell goes huge – 10ft to 13ft – but the wind is howling onshore. Friday the 7th has 25 mph winds with rain, and the swell energy is massive (6705). This is not surfable for a paddle board; this is looking more like a kite surfing session. The poor conditions stick around with strong winds until the 11th of August.
We get a bit of a reprieve on the 9th and 10th of August with 10ft swells and cleaner cross-off winds, but it's still big and gnarly. The following week, around the 13th and 14th of August, we see another pulse of 10ft from the SW with very long periods (18-19 seconds) and moderate cross-off winds. The energy is massive (6370), but it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Alright, the standout pick for the whole run is clear: Thursday the 6th of August, morning session. You've got a solid 8ft SW groundswell, and the wind is dead flat – glassy conditions. It's going to be clean, powerful, and delivering some proper waves. It's a consistent spot, so get in the water early. This is one for the experienced surfers only.
Rusty out.

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.
