The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Coronation Beach. This is a pretty solid run of south-west groundswell on the cards, with a heap of energy building through the first week and beyond. The water temp is sitting around 67.8°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year – no nasty surprises there. Just keep an eye on the wind, because clean conditions are gonna be the key to scoring at this beach-and-reef setup.
Right now, it’s Monday morning, the 31st of August, and we’ve got a solid 6.2ft south-west groundswell rolling in with a period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is pumping at 1964 (moderate to strong). Wind is light and offshore from the west-south-west at 6 mph, so conditions are clean. It’s surfable but the comment says it’s marginal – might be a tide thing. A decent option for the experienced crew, but not a standout.
Monday afternoon the wind swings south-west and picks up to 9 mph, blowing cross-on. Swell holds at 6.2ft with a 17-second period – very long period groundswell, which can make beach breaks a bit straight. Energy jumps to 2007. Still marginal, but worth a look if you’re keen.
Tuesday the 1st of September, morning brings a lighter 5.6ft south-west swell at 16 seconds. Wind is light cross-on from the south-west at 3 mph, so only small wind ripples. Energy is still strong at 1519. Again, marginal. The afternoon sees a clean sky but a stronger south wind at 12 mph making it cross-shore and choppy. Not the best.
Wednesday the 2nd stays similar – 5.9ft south-west swell, 14-second period, but that south wind is a moderate 12 mph cross-shore all day. Choppy. Energy moderate. Thursday the 3rd has a 6.6ft south-west swell in the morning with a light south breeze at 6 mph, cross-shore – small ripples. Energy’s up at 1514. Still marginal. The afternoon jumps to 7.2ft and 15 seconds, but the south-west wind at 9 mph is cross-on and choppy. That’s a dud.
Friday the 4th keeps the 6.9ft to 6.2ft south-west swell, but wind stays cross-on from the south and south-west at 9 mph. Choppy. Not your day. Saturday the 5th gets messy – 7.9ft south-west swell in the morning but a north-west wind at 16 mph cross-on, making it lumpy. Afternoon blows up to 9.8ft from the west-south-west with a fresh 22 mph cross-on wind. That’s kitesurfing territory, not paddle.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday the 6th of September, the swell holds at a meaty 9.8ft south-west, 13-second period. But the wind switches to a south-south-east cross-off at 12 mph, and the wave comment says “clean”. Energy is 2964. This is a serious session for experienced surfers – over 8.2ft is expert-only. The cross-off wind is a massive positive. It’s still marked marginal, but clean waves at that size… you’d be mad not to check it.
Monday the 7th is a standout. The morning has 8.2ft south-west groundswell, 16 seconds, combined energy of 3772 (strong). Wind is south-east at 9 mph, cross-off and clean. Wave comment is “clean”. This is the pick of the first week for experienced surfers. The afternoon bumps back to 9.8ft with a fresh south-south-east cross-off at 19 mph – still clean, but windy. Still, the morning is your window.
Tuesday the 8th of September is another potential highlight. Morning has 9.8ft south-west groundswell, a very long 17-second period, with an east-north-east cross-off breeze at 9 mph. Energy is 5357 – that’s strong to very strong. Wave comment is “clean” and the score is a 5/10 internally. That’s the best score in the whole run. For a surfer who knows what they’re doing, this is the session to circle. The long period means it’ll be powerful and better on the reef side. Afternoon drops

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.
