The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Coronation Beach. This stretch of sand and reef is about to get a solid run of southwest groundswell, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag. Tuesday the 8th sees a serious 8ft SW swell rolling in with a long 16-second period, packing some serious energy (3058). Problem is, the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore, which is clean but strong. It’s a bit of a wrestle out there, and the forecast calls it marginal. Not a total write-off, but it’s a grunt.
Wednesday the 9th brings a slight drop to 7ft, but the wind swings to a pure offshore from the east at 22 mph. That’s a fresh offshore breeze, which will comb the wave faces out clean. The energy is still strong (2024). This is a proper session for the experienced crew – the size is up there, and the offshore wind is a major positive. Thursday morning the 10th is the real standout in this first week. Swell eases to 5ft from the SW, period still a meaty 15 seconds, and the wind goes light offshore from the ENE at 16 mph. The energy is moderate (1070), but the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the window to get a clean, lined-up wave. After that, the wind goes sour Thursday afternoon, shifting south and cross-shore, and the quality drops. Friday the 11th is a write-off with onshore wind and a messy 5ft swell.
Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are dominated by a rising swell (6ft to 6ft) but with cross-shore and onshore winds, making for choppy, uninviting conditions. Monday the 14th morning is a sneak peek of hope – 6ft SW swell, 14-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. It’s clean again, excellent for experienced surfers, but the afternoon gets messy again.
The second week has a few moments. Wednesday the 16th morning has a 6ft SW swell and a light cross-shore breeze, but it’s not clean. The real highlight is Saturday the 19th morning. Swell is 6ft from the SW with a 14-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SE at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (1484), and the conditions are marked as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your best bet in the second week, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it. The rest of that week is a mix of onshore flow and rising swell, hitting 8ft on Monday the 21st with a fresh cross-onshore, which is blown-out and lumpy. The energy is very strong (4073), but it’s only for the hardcore or the kite crew.
Bottom line: the best on offer is Thursday morning the 10th – clean, moderate offshore wind, and a nice 5ft groundswell. For the second week, Saturday the 19th morning is your best chance, but it’s a bit of a gamble. The rest of the time, the wind is the enemy here.
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.
