The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here, and I’ve got a good, long look at the forecast for Coronation Beach. This is a consistent, exposed beach and reef setup that’s perfect for beginner plus surfers, and it’s set to fire up with some serious groundswell from the southwest. The water temp is sitting at 67.6°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The real action kicks off Wednesday morning, September 9th. We’ve got a solid 6.6 ft southwest swell rolling in with a 16-second period, giving it that long, powerful groundswell feel. The combined swell energy is strong at 2008, and with a fresh offshore easterly wind of 22 mph, the waves will be clean and lined up. It’s a bit of a beast for beginners at this size, but for anyone comfortable, it’s a ripper. The wind stays offshore through the afternoon, easing slightly to 19 mph, with the swell holding at 6.6 ft and a 15-second period (energy 1832). Wednesday is a standout for clean, powerful waves.

Thursday morning, September 10th, is even better. The swell drops a touch to 4.9 ft from the southwest, but it’s still got that lovely 15-second period (energy 1071), and the wind turns to a moderate offshore easterly at 16 mph. The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers, and I’d say that’s the pick of the first few days. The afternoon is similar, with a 4.6 ft swell and 12 mph offshore wind, still very good.

Things get messy from Friday, September 11th, through the weekend. The wind swings around to the west and south, bringing onshore and cross-shore conditions that chop things up. The swell stays in the 3.9 ft to 5.9 ft range, but with poor wind and a lot of chop, it’s not worth paddling out for. There’s a gap of a few days with no real recommendations here.

Monday morning, September 14th, sees a return to form. The swell bumps up to 6.9 ft from the southwest, with a 14-second period (energy 1704), and a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 9 mph keeps it clean. This is another excellent session for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy with a fresh cross-shore wind, so aim for the morning.

Tuesday, September 15th, is a big one, but with a caveat. The morning swell hits 8.2 ft from the southwest, with a 15-second period and massive energy of 2830, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 19 mph, making it lumpy. This is big, powerful, and only for the experts. The afternoon is similar, still over 7.9 ft, but the same messy wind.

Wednesday, September 16th, through Thursday, September 17th, the swell drops back to 6.2 ft to 4.6 ft, but the wind is mostly cross-shore or onshore, so the quality is marginal. Not worth the effort.

Friday, September 18th, the wind picks up strong from the northwest, making it messy and lumpy, with swell around 3.0 ft. Kite surfers might have a look, but it’s a no-go for paddle surfing.

Saturday, September 19th, is a monster day. The swell is 11.5 ft from the WSW, with a 15-second period and extreme energy of 4925, but the wind is a strong onshore and cross-onshore mess, with rain showers. This is just too big and gnarly for anyone but the most experienced, and the conditions are poor.

Now, the best of the entire outlook comes in the second week, but it’s a bit less certain. Sunday, September 20th is a true standout. The morning sees a 8.2 ft southwest swell with a 14-second period (energy 3096), and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 16 mph. The afternoon is even better, with the same swell and a cross-offshore SSE wind, pushing energy up to 4935. This is a big, clean, powerful swell—perfect for experienced surfers.

Monday, September 21st, the morning is excellent, with a 7.5 ft southwest swell, 15-second period (energy 2656), and a gentle cross-offshore SE breeze at 9 mph. The afternoon gets lumpy again, but the morning is a gem.

Tuesday, September 22nd, the swell jumps back to 9.8 ft from the southwest with an 18-second period (energy 4570). That’s a very long

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.
