The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Coronation Beach for the next couple of weeks. It’s a beach and reef setup, consistent, and picks up a nice SW swell. Water temp’s pretty normal for this time of year.
We start Tuesday the 25th, but it’s nothing to write home about. Early morning has a 5ft SW swell, 12-second period, and a light cross-onshore breeze makes it a bit bumpy. The combined energy is 609—pretty weak. Afternoon has a longer 15-second period but onshore wind picks up to 9 mph, not great.
Wednesday the 26th is a total loss. Swell builds but winds are howling from the NW at 16–19 mph, making it a choppy, lumpy mess. The 7ft to 10ft range is too big for beginners, and the wind ruins it for everyone.
Thursday the 27th morning is a standout. We’ve got a solid 12ft SW swell, 16-second period, and clean cross-shore wind. The combined energy is 10936—strong stuff. This is expert-only, powerful and big. The afternoon gets messy again, so hit it early.
Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th ease off. Swell drops to 6ft and then 3ft–4ft, with clean cross-offshore winds. Saturday morning has a 21-second period groundswell—very long, great shape but might run too straight on the beach. Energy is low at 852, but a fun small-wave day.
Sunday the 30th morning is another beauty. A 8ft SW swell, 18-second period, and gentle offshore winds from the ENE at 9 mph. Combined energy hits 3297, clean and powerful. Excellent for experienced surfers. Afternoon gets crossed up, so get in early.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September offer decent 6ft to 6ft SW swell with clean mornings. Not standouts, but reliable.
Wednesday the 2nd morning is clean with a 6ft SW swell, 14-second period, and light cross-offshore winds. Solid fun.
Then a rough patch. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are poor—onshore winds, gusts up to 25 mph on Friday with rain, and messy. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th mornings clean up again with 7ft and 6ft swells and light offshore winds. Worth a session.
Monday the 7th of September morning has a solid 10ft SW swell, 19-second period, and a gentle cross-shore breeze. Combined energy is 7131—very strong. Powerful, but the cross-shore keeps it from being perfect.
Tuesday the 8th morning has a 7ft SW swell, moderate offshore wind from the east at 16 mph, and clean. Good for experienced surfers.
Wednesday the 9th ends with a 6ft SW swell and clean cross-offshore winds.
The true standouts are Thursday the 27th morning and Sunday the 30th morning at Coronation Beach. Big, clean, powerful—experts only on the Thursday, and the Sunday is also solid but a touch more manageable. Get there early. Crowds can show up, so keep that in mind.
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.
