The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up.

Well, we’ve got a decent run of groundswell heading our way over the next couple of weeks, but you’ve got to pick your moments. The wind is the real wildcard. The first real standout hits on the morning of Thursday the 3rd.

Thursday, September 3rd morning at Coronation Beach is where it’s at. Glassy conditions – zero wind – and a solid 7 ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 1688 (moderate), and the water is about average for this time of year. This is clean, powerful, and just about right for experienced surfers who want some push. The swell is ticking over 5 ft, so it’s a bit much for beginners, but for anyone else, it’s a ripper session. This spot is a beach and reef setup, consistently exposed to the SW, and because it’s consistent, it should have some fun lines.

After that morning window, it gets messy. Thursday afternoon the wind swings SW at 9 mph, going cross-on and choppy. Friday (4th) is much the same – cross-onshore wind and a bit lumpy. Saturday the 5th is a write-off, with onshore wind building to 22 mph and rain – the swell is big at 8 ft, but the quality is poor. That kind of wind and swell combo at a beach and reef break starts looking more like a kitesurfer’s playground than a paddle surfer’s.

Sunday the 6th through Tuesday the 8th sees a big, long-period SW swell (12 ft to 7 ft, periods up to 17 seconds) but the wind is cross-off from the SSE or SE at 12-16 mph. The wave energy is strong, hitting 4939 on Monday morning. The waves will be clean and powerful, but that long-period swell (over 15 seconds) can make beach breaks a bit straight and tricky. This is a time for the reefs and points, and the area should handle it, but it’s not the pristine glass we had on Thursday.

Wednesday, September 9th afternoon is another standout. The swell drops to a manageable 7 ft, but the wind goes offshore from the East at a gentle 9 mph. That’s a clean, offshore groom with a 17-second groundswell. The combined energy is 2595 (moderate). This is prime, powerful, and glassy. If you can only surf once, this is the other session to target.

After that, the energy fades. From Thursday the 10th through the 16th of September, the swell drops below 7 ft, and the wind is unreliable, mostly onshore or cross-on. There’s a gap of poor to mediocre conditions. A brief flicker of hope on Saturday the 12th at 7 ft and Monday the 14th afternoon with offshore wind again (7 ft SW at 14 seconds), the clean conditions on the 14th with a moderate offshore breeze give it a 1862 energy rating. That’s a decent session.

The last call is Wednesday the 16th morning with a 6 ft SW swell and a gentle cross-onshore, but it’s not going to blow you away. Things fizzle out into the 18th with a rising wind and onshore slop.

So, mark your calendar for the morning of Thursday the 3rd and the afternoon of Wednesday the 9th. Those are your gems.

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.
