The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the same in feet and miles.
Right now, Coronation Beach has a good stretch of surf ahead, with some windy days in the mix. Water temp is normal for this time of year at 68°F.
Monday the 24th of August morning is a cracker. A clean 7ft SW groundswell with 15-second period, energy at 1776 (moderate), and a light offshore – excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon goes south with onshore wind.
Tuesday the 25th of August morning is glassy and clean, with 5ft SW swell at 12 seconds, energy 609. Fun size.
Wednesday the 26th of August morning gets messy with 7ft of SW swell and strong cross-onshore wind. The afternoon is a 13ft beast - way too big for paddling, but a dream for kite surfers.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th offer cleaner windows with offshore breezes and swell from 6ft down to 5ft.
Saturday the 29th of August morning has a tiny, very long-period 2ft SW swell (21 seconds). Perfect for a longboard. The afternoon picks up to 4ft with a clean offshore breeze. Very good.
Sunday the 30th has 8ft SW swell (18 seconds) and clean morning conditions.
Into September, the first week is a mixed bag. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st are marginal. Wednesday through Friday the 2nd to 4th are mostly onshore with 7ft to 8ft SW swell, but the wind spoils the show.
Saturday the 5th of September is a complete loss with rain and strong winds.
Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th see a return to cleaner conditions. Monday morning is a standout with 6ft SW swell and a light offshore.
But the big winner is Tuesday the 8th of September. Morning delivers a clean 8ft SW swell, 16-second period, a light offshore breeze, and energy at 4239. That is powerful, clean, and the best of the whole forecast for experienced surfers.
Remember, very long-period SW swells can race a bit straight on the sand, so keep an eye on the reef sections for the best shape.
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.
