The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the look ahead for Coronation Beach. The water’s at 68°, which is a bit cooler than we usually see this time of year, so keep that in mind.
The first few days are a bit average. Wednesday the 15th, you’ve got a 5ft SW swell with a very long 14-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-off from the NNE at 19 mph. The energy is strong (1194), but the quality is marginal. Wednesday afternoon, the wind drops to a light onshore and the swell drops to 5ft. Thursday and Friday are messy with choppy conditions and poor scores.
Saturday the 18th sees a jump in size. The morning has a solid 8ft SW swell (2172 energy) but with a cross-onshore wind making it choppy. By Saturday afternoon, the swell hits 10ft (3948 energy) – that’s expert territory – but the wind is still cross-onshore.
Here’s the standout. Sunday morning the 19th is the one. The swell is a powerful 8ft from the SW with a long 15-second period (2356 energy), and the wind is a light cross-off from the SE at 3 mph. It’s clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The crowd factor says “sometimes,” so there could be a few out, but it’s worth it.
Monday the 20th is a good follow-up. The morning has a 5ft SW swell with a glassy offshore breeze from the E at 3 mph. Clean conditions. The afternoon stays clean but the wind turns cross-shore.
Tuesday the 21st offers a glassy morning with 5ft SW swell and a 14-second period – very clean. The afternoon jumps back to 7ft SW with a 16-second period, but the wind turns cross-onshore, so morning is the call.
The pattern holds. Wednesday the 22nd morning has a 6ft SW swell with a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE – excellent for experienced surfers. Thursday the 23rd morning bumps to 8ft SW (2768 energy) with a very long 16-second period and clean conditions, but that’s big. The afternoon of the 23rd has a 8ft SW swell with light winds – another excellent window. Friday the 24th afternoon is a gem: 6ft SW swell, glassy conditions, and a 14-second period.
The second week gets smaller. The weekend of the 25th and 26th sees swell around 4ft to 4ft. Sunday the 26th morning is glassy with a 4ft SW swell – very clean, but small. Monday the 27th morning is also glassy with a 3ft SW swell and an 18-second period. That’s a long period, so it might break straight at the beach.
The last few days are mixed. Tuesday the 29th is a no-go with onshore winds. But then Thursday the 30th morning is a monster – a 10ft SW swell with an 18-second period and a gentle cross-off wind. The energy is massive (4911), but that’s strictly for experts. The afternoon turns onshore.
So, the best bets? Sunday morning the 19th for that big, clean SW groundswell. And if you’re an expert, Thursday the 30th morning is a beast. Skip the early days and wait for the real deal.
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.
