The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here.
We’ve got a long stretch of waves on the way at Coronation Beach, but it ain’t all gonna be smooth sailing. It’s a beach and reef setup, wide open to the SW, and it breaks pretty consistently, so there’s always something to ride. Water temp is sittin’ about 67°, which is dead average for this time of year.
The first session falls on Monday the 31st of August. We’ve got a 6ft SW swell rollin’ in with a long 17-second period, so there’s plenty of energy (2007), but the wind is a cross-on at 9 mph from the SW, making it a choppy mess. A bit of a grind, honestly.
Tuesday the 1st of September isn't much better. The swell drops a touch to 6ft, still with that long period (1527), but the wind is a side-shore from the S at 6 mph. It’s a bit of a salvage job.
The first real clean look comes on the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. Swell is 6ft from the SW with a 14-second period (1163), but the wind goes cross-offshore from the SSE at 12 mph. That’s clean. That’s your early window.
Thursday morning the 3rd of September is another solid call. Swell bumps to 7ft, still from the SW, 14-second period (1712), with a light cross-shore wind from the SSW at 6 mph. Nice and clean for the most part.
But here’s the deal: when the swell gets over 5ft, it starts to get serious. From that Thursday afternoon into the weekend, we’ve got waves pushing 7ft to 8ft, and a few times hitting 10ft. That’s expert-only territory. If you’re just gettin’ started, sit this one out.
The crown jewel of the whole run is the morning of Monday the 7th of September. We’ve got a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, the combined energy is an absolute monster (4230), and the wind is offshore from the ESE at just 9 mph. That’s glassy, clean, perfect conditions for experienced surfers. That’s the morning you don’t miss.
Tuesday the 8th of September morning is a close second: same 10ft SW swell, 17-second period (4438), with a cross-offshore from the NE at 9 mph. Another clean session.
Into the second week, we get a few more decent windows. The morning of Thursday the 10th of September has a 8ft SW swell (3330) with light cross-offshore winds from the S at 6 mph. Clean. The morning of Sunday the 13th of September also offers a clean 7ft swell (2354) with light cross-offshore winds.
After that, the swell starts to back off, and the winds get ugly. The magic is definitely in that first week, and Monday the 7th is the big dog.
So keep an eye on that one. Rusty.

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.
