The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a solid run of swell headed our way, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The pattern kicks off with some promising, clean waves early on, then builds into some serious size as we head into the second week. Let’s break it down.
The first real action is Wednesday afternoon the 29th at Coronation Beach. Swell is coming in at 6 ft from the SW, with a long 17-second period that’s packing some serious grunt – combined energy is up at 2752. That’s a moderate-to-strong energy reading. The wind is light cross-off from the SE at 6 mph, keeping things clean. The water’s sitting at 67°, which is 2° colder than usual for this time of year. That’s a bit nippy, so you’ll want a good spring suit. This is a beach-and-reef setup, so the long period will mean longer lulls between sets, but the waves themselves will have plenty of shape. The downside? This size and power is for experienced surfers only – too much for beginners.
Then Friday morning the 31st shapes up real nice. We’ve got 6 ft of SW swell at 17 seconds, but the real winner is the wind: glassy, from the NNW at just 3 mph. That’s near-perfect conditions for a cleaner ride. Combined energy sits at 1858. Again, this is more for the experienced crew.
Now, if you hold out for Tuesday the 4th of August – that’s the standout. We’ve got a solid 8 ft SW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, and combined energy is ripping at 3508. The wind is light cross-off from the SSE at 6 mph, so it’ll be glassy and clean. This is the best on offer: big, clean, powerful waves. But at 8 ft, it’s getting into expert territory. This break is consistent, and crowds are possible here sometimes – probably worth an early paddle.
We get a bit of a lull in quality mid-week, but then the swell really cranks up. Sunday morning the 9th of August sees an absolute monster: 13 ft from the SW, 15-second period, and combined energy is off the charts at 7822. That’s a very strong energy event. The wind is light cross-off from the ESE at 6 mph, keeping it clean. This is exceptional, but only for the most expert surfers. At that size, the setup might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing unless you’re a total charger.
The rest of the first week and into the second week sees plenty of 7 ft + swell, but winds get messy, with strong cross-shore and onshore conditions later on. There’s a stretch from the 10th into the 12th where it’s pretty blown out and not worth the paddle. Things clean up again by the 13th though – Thursday morning has a nice 7 ft SW swell with offshore winds from the E at 12 mph. Clean and solid.
Bottom line: the best session is Tuesday the 4th of August – that long-period SW groundswell with light offshore wind is where you want to be. The 9th is a massive day for the pros. Just keep an eye on the wind in the second week; it’s a bit all over the shop.
Stay stoked,
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.
