The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty with the call for Coronation Beach.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming, but it’s going to take some reading. Water temp is right around average for the season, nothing to write home about.
Kicking off Monday, September 7th, we’re looking at a serious groundswell. A solid 10-foot SW swell with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy reading is 4533 (moderate-to-strong). This is big stuff – over 8 feet, so experts only. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the wind is a stiff 15 mph. By the afternoon, the wind goes onshore and picks up to 22 mph, chopping it up. The long period means it’s going to be powerful and straight at the beach, so look for the reef or points for better shape. Not a day for beginners.
Tuesday the 8th: Swell drops to 8 feet, but it’s still a big, long-period groundswell at 16 seconds. Wind is cross-offshore but still fresh at 18-22 mph. Energy readings are still in the thousands (3058 to 3927). Still expert territory.
Wednesday the 9th is looking like the pick of the first week. Swell backs off to around 7 feet, and we get clean offshore wind from the East at 22 mph. The wave state is "fresh offshore and clean". Period is still a long 15-16 seconds. Energy is 2015 (moderate). It’s still a solid swell, but with that offshore wind, the waves should have good shape. This is the day for experienced surfers to get after it.
Thursday the 10th: Swell down to 5 feet in the morning with lighter cross-offshore wind. Energy is 1070 (moderate). The period is still long at 15 seconds, so it’s got some punch. Afternoon goes onshore, so get it early.
Then we hit a three-day gap from Friday the 11th through the weekend with onshore wind and poor conditions. The next real window comes on Monday the 14th with a 7-foot swell and a light cross-offshore breeze in the morning. Energy is 1811 (moderate). The wave comment says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers". That’s a standout morning for the second week – clean and solid.
The real gem of the whole forecast lands on Sunday, September 20th. The swell is small – about 4 feet – but the wind goes glassy, just 3 mph from the South. The wave state is "glassy" and the comment says "expect very good surf conditions". Energy is 789 (weak-to-moderate), but with zero wind and a 12-second period, the waves will be clean, fun, and easy to surf. This is the best option for everyone.
The final pulse hits Monday the 21st: another 10-foot SW groundswell with a 17-second period and massive energy reading of 4959 (very strong). Experts only, and the wind is onshore, so it’s not going to be clean.
Bottom line: Wednesday the 9th and Monday the 14th mornings are the expert standouts. For a clean, fun session for all levels, lock in Sunday the 20th morning. The beach is consistent, so the flat days are just a breather.

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.
