Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the full 16-day look at what's cookin' for Coronation Beach. This spot is a consistent beach and reef setup, exposed to the SW swell, and it's a solid beginner-plus wave that can offer a lot more when it gets some size and clean conditions.

The water temp is running a bit colder than normal at 69°, about 2° cooler than average for this time of year, so you might want a good spring suit.

Overall, the next week and a half has plenty of action, but you gotta pick your windows carefully. The winds are a big factor here; a lot of afternoons get choppy with the seabreeze, but the mornings are where it's at.

Things kick off on Saturday, July 4th, with a solid 5ft SW swell. The morning has a clean look to it but a moderate cross-off breeze makes it a bit tricky, not the best shape. The afternoon session is a much better bet though, with the swell bumping up to 6ft from the SW and a long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is pumping at 1949 (moderate) and with only a light breeze, it'll be real clean. The 6ft is solid, good for experienced surfers but still manageable for the keen beginner.

Sunday the 5th is a bit of a letdown. The swell drops back to 4-4ft with mixed winds. The morning has a cross-shore breeze creating some texture, and the afternoon goes onshore. Not the pick of the week.

Now, pay attention to Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th. Monday morning is looking prime. We've got a 6ft SW, 15-second groundswell, moderate combined energy at 1472, and the wind is glassy—absolutely dead calm. That's the kind of morning you dream about. Clean, lined-up swell on the reef. Tuesday morning is the standout of the whole run though. Swell builds to 8ft from the SW, a very long 16-second period, and a massive combined energy of 3090 (strong). The wind is a gentle cross-off, keeping it clean. That's heavy, powerful stuff. This is expert territory at over 8ft, but for those who can handle it, this is the session to circle on the calendar. The afternoon on Tuesday gets cross-choppy, so get it early.

Wednesday the 8th is another fantastic early look, back to 6ft SW with glassy conditions. Perfect for getting back into it after the big Tuesday session.

Thursday the 9th morning holds 7ft from the WSW with a light offshore breeze and clean conditions. That's a real solid morning. The afternoon turns to rain showers and a cross-onshore wind, so it's a morning-only deal.

Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th see the swell drop a bit, and building winds make for messy conditions. Saturday the 11th morning has a 7ft SSW swell with a moderate cross-off, so it's clean but not the best shape as the period drops to 12 seconds.

Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th both feature fresh offshore winds. Sunday has 5ft SW swell and a strong offshore, making for some real clean, punchy waves. Monday the 13th morning has a 5ft SW swell with a very long 17-second period and fresh offshore winds—that's a classic groundswell day. The afternoon sees the swell bump to 6ft with a moderate offshore, also clean.

After that, from Tuesday the 14th through Thursday the 16th, the swell drops considerably to the 3ft to 4ft range, making it pretty ordinary and small. Winds are messy, with onshores and cross-onshores. A bit of a lull.

Things perk up again on Friday the 17th with a tiny 3ft SW groundswell and a light offshore, but it's pretty small. The real next event looks to be Saturday the 18th morning. We get a 7ft W windswell with a short 8-second period and a fresh offshore. The combined energy is 680 (weak). With that short period and being a beach-and-reef, it'll be a bit bouncy but clean. Sunday the 19th morning shapes up better: 6ft from the WSW with an 11-second period and a gentle offshore. Clean, nice shape, and a good way to wrap up the outlook.

So, the big takeaway? Tuesday, July 7th morning is the undisputed king. That 8ft SW groundswell with long periods and clean cross-off winds is a serious, serious swell for the experienced crew. The best all-rounder for the less experienced is Wednesday, July 8th morning – solid 6ft swell and glassy conditions. Don't sleep on Monday the 6th morning or Monday the 13th morning either.

Stay safe out there, and remember, the early bird gets the clean wave.
