The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long look at what’s coming down the line for Coronation Beach.
We’ve got a solid run of consistent SW groundswell stretching out over the next 16 days, but the wind is going to be the real decider on when it’s truly worth getting wet. The water is sitting at 68° which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t forget the steamer.
The first decent window kicks off Monday, July 27th. The morning session is the pick with a clean 8ft SW swell from a moderate 14-second period under an ESE offshore breeze. The combined wave energy is pumping at 1977, plenty of grunt for experienced surfers, but that size is getting into expert territory. The afternoon sees a drop in quality with a cross-off wind.
Tuesday, July 28th, has a similar story. The early morning is best with a clean 6ft SW groundswell (15-second period, 1544 energy) and a solid 16 mph offshore breeze from the east. It’s a bit blowy but the lines will be clean. The afternoon lightens up with a 6ft set and a light cross-off, still good.
Wednesday, July 29th, starts ordinary with a 5ft cross-off and a fresh 19 mph NE breeze, not worth it. But the afternoon is a real standout. The wind switches to a light offshore from the ESE, and the swell jumps to 6ft with a very long 17-second period and a massive 2752 energy reading. That’s a proper groundswell. For a beach-and-reef setup like Coronation Beach, that long period will mean clean, powerful lines, but it might break a bit straight over the sandbanks. It’s a classic trade-off.
Thursday, July 30th, and Friday, July 31st, are messy. The wind goes cross-shore or cross-onshore, the swell drops, and the energy fades. It’s a write-off.
Saturday, August 1st, and Sunday, August 2nd, see a return of clean conditions with offshore or cross-off winds. The swell sits around 7ft to 8ft with moderate energy (2404 and 2492), but the wind is moderate. It’s surfable, but not the absolute best of the run.
The next real highlight comes on Monday, August 3rd. The morning has a clean 6ft SW swell under a light offshore, and the energy is 1273. It’s a solid session for experienced surfers, but watch for some rain showers.
Tuesday, August 4th, has a morning that’s a bit tricky. A 7ft swell with a very long 19-second period (2673 energy) but a light cross-shore breeze, creating some ripples. That long period will be drawing plenty of water, so the sets will be infrequent but powerful.
Now, we hit a rough patch from Wednesday, August 5th, through Friday, August 7th. The wind is straight onshore from the west. The swell is still 7ft to 8ft, but it’s blown out. Not worth paddling. With this much swell and onshore wind, a beach-and-reef setup like this will look a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Saturday, August 8th, is a complete no-go. A fresh 22 mph SSW cross-shore with lumpy chop and a 7ft swell. Leave it.
The run finishes strong. Sunday, August 9th, is the absolute standout of the whole period. The morning delivers a clean 8ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period, a light offshore breeze from the east, and a massive 2741 energy reading. The conditions are crystal clear. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s big, powerful, and clean – expert surfers only.
Monday, August 10th, is a smaller day, dropping to 5ft with a clean offshore wind. A good day for the less experienced crew to get some fun waves.
And finally, the most exciting forecast of the whole outlook is for Tuesday, August 11th, but it’s a long way off. The morning sees a massive 12ft SW swell with a 12-second period and an insane 7569 energy. The wind is a clean offshore from the ESE. That’s huge, raw power. The afternoon gets even bigger with a 13ft swell and 18-second period (9085 energy). This is massive, dangerous, expert-only territory if it holds. It’s promising, but we’ll have to wait and see how it shapes up.

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.
