The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Coronation Beach. This is the only spot in the forecast, a beach and reef setup that’s wide open to the SW. The whole 16 days has some good moments and some real rough ones, but a couple of days are definitely worth the paddle.
Monday the 27th is a bit of a dud. There’s a solid 8ft SW swell, but the wind is a cross-off ESE breeze, and the conditions are just marginal. The energy is moderate at 1977, and the period is a short 14 seconds, so the waves are a bit scrambled. Not the day to rush out.
Tuesday the 28th is a real standout. The morning is the pick. The swell drops a touch to 7ft, but it’s a proper SW groundswell with a 15-second period, bringing real power. The wind is offshore from the east at 15 mph, and the conditions are clean. The combined energy is a solid 1665. This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s pushing into the 8ft range later in the day. The water temp is about average for the season.
The afternoon of Wednesday the 29th is another gem. The swell is 6ft, but the period jumps to a very long 17 seconds, and the wind is light offshore from the east at 6 mph. This is going to be clean, lined-up, and powerful. The combined energy is strong at 2752. It’s a groundswell, so at a beach and reef break it might be a bit straight, but the quality will be excellent. For the experienced crew.
The weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August brings more size, but it’s not as clean. Saturday the 1st has 7ft to 8ft SW swell, with cross-off winds, but it’s still marginal. The energy is strong (2506 to 2907), with a 16-second period. Sunday the 2nd has a 8ft swell with a fresh offshore wind from the east, but it’s still considered marginal. These are for the advanced crew only.
The second week gets messy. The 4th of August has a good morning with 5ft swell and 16-second period, but the wind is cross-off. The 5th gets choppy with onshore winds, and from the 6th to the 9th, it’s a complete write-off. The swell gets huge, up to 13ft, but with strong onshore winds and rain, it’s blown out and dangerous. The combined energy hits 9261, which is very strong, but it’s not for paddle surfing. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The final days, the 10th and 11th of August, see the swell drop back to 5ft-6ft, with a 13 to 19-second period. The 10th has a clean morning with cross-off winds, but the 11th is a write-off with strong onshore winds.
So, the best on offer is Tuesday the 28th of July in the morning, and Wednesday the 29th of July in the afternoon. Both have clean conditions, solid SW groundswell, and good energy. The rest of the window is either marginal, blown out, or too big. Don’t hold your breath for the second week, it’s a real mess.

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.
