The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The only spot firing here is Coronation Beach, and it’s a classic beach and reef setup. It’s a consistent break, exposed to the swell, and it likes the swell straight out of the southwest – which is exactly what we’re getting a lot of. Water temp is sitting around 67°, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The first week gets off to a bit of a slow burner. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th have some solid swell around 6 ft to 6 ft, coming from the SW and WSW with a strong 16-second period – that’s proper long-period groundswell, good for this reef setup. But the wind is a bit messy, mostly cross-on, keeping things fairly choppy and not tidy. The combined swell energy is high, hitting between 1457 and 1724 (moderate to strong), but the quality just isn’t there yet with that wind.

Monday the 14th is where it starts to look better. Morning has a clean 7 ft SW swell with a cross-off wind, still a long 15-second period, and energy at 1915. That’s a window for some cleaner lines, but the overall conditions still feel marginal. The bigger jump comes Tuesday the 15th morning, with 7 ft SW at 14 seconds, gentle cross-shore wind, and energy at 1983. It’s still described as having a slight cross-chop, but it's getting closer. Then Tuesday afternoon really ramps up: 8 ft SW swell, 14-second period, and the energy jumps to a whopping 4650 (strong to very strong). That’s a lot of power hitting the break, but the wind swings to a moderate cross-shore again, which messes with the face a bit.

Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th drop right off. Swell drops to around 4 ft to 5 ft, wind turns onshore, and energy falls to the 500-900 range. Not great, not worth paddling out for.

Friday the 18th is a write-off. Strong winds up to 25 mph onshore with light rain, swell is 8 ft but it’s choppy and poor. The energy is high (2724-3080) but it's a mess – this setup looks much more like a kite surfing day than a paddle surfing day.

The best stretch starts to build from Saturday the 19th through to Wednesday the 23rd. Swell holds in the consistent 7 ft to 8 ft range, mostly from the SW and WSW, with periods between 13 and 17 seconds. The real standout here is Wednesday morning, September 23 – the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. We’ve got a clean 7 ft SW swell, a gentle cross-off breeze from the SE, and energy sitting at 1934. That’s a morning for a good session with some push and clean faces. The crowd situation is ‘sometimes’, so you might have some company but nothing too hectic.

Then we have the absolute highlight of the entire forecast – Thursday the 24th morning. This is the one to circle on the calendar. A massive 12 ft SW swell, 18-second period (that’s very long period groundswell), with a light offshore wind from the east and crystal clear skies. The combined swell energy is a massive 8637, which is very strong. The call is exceptional surf for expert surfers. That is you, if you’ve got the skills. That size and that kind of period on a beach and reef? Big, powerful, well-shaped waves, but it’s going to be heavy and only for the experienced. The wind shifts to cross in the afternoon, which will chop it up a bit, but that morning will be magic. Crowds are a possibility here, because everyone will know about it.

After that high, Friday the 25th gets messy again with rain showers and strong winds, and a choppy 10 ft swell that’s not worth it. Saturday the 26th is cleaner but smaller at 6 ft.

Finally, the very end of the period – Sunday the 27th morning – has another sizeable bump. 10 ft SW swell with an 18-second period again, and energy at 5946. It’s unfortunately cross-shore again, so not perfect, but it’s got plenty of grunt for anyone willing to wrestle a bit of chop.

Honestly, if you want the absolute best of this whole 16-day run, it’s Thursday morning September 24 at Coronation Beach. That’s the standout.

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.
