The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Coronation Beach.
This is a solid 16-day run, with plenty of action, but you’ve got to pick your moments. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The forecast kicks off with a bit of a slow start. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th have some swell, but the wind is messy and the conditions are just average. You’re looking at a 5ft to 5ft SW groundswell, but it’s cross-on and choppy, so not worth getting excited about.
Wednesday the 5th shows some improvement. The morning has a 7ft SW swell (16 seconds) with light cross-offshore winds from the SE, making it clean. The combined energy is moderate (2160). It’s not the biggest, but the conditions are much better.
Now, Thursday the 6th is where things start to get interesting for experienced surfers. The morning brings a 10ft SW groundswell (16 seconds) with light cross-offshore winds, and the wave energy is strong (4209). This is a proper swell, but at 10ft, it’s too big for beginners. The crowd situation is “sometimes” busy, so you might have some company.
Friday the 7th morning is a real standout. The swell is 8ft from the SW (16 seconds) and the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a rare treat. The wave energy is strong (2577). This is the best session of the first week, hands down. The afternoon turns to onshore slop, so get out early.
The weekend of the 8th and 9th is for the big dogs. Saturday the 8th has a 10ft SW swell (15 seconds) with fresh cross-offshore winds, but the morning is messy. Sunday the 9th morning is the real highlight: 12ft SW groundswell (16 seconds) with a fresh offshore breeze, and the wave energy is very strong (5986). This is exceptional, but only for experts. The swell is well over 8ft, so if you’re not comfortable on big, powerful waves, stay on the sand.
The second week settles down a bit but still has some gems. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th offer clean, manageable 7ft to 6ft SW swell. Wednesday the 12th has a 8ft SW swell with fresh offshore winds – good for experienced surfers.
Then, Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are another major standout. Thursday afternoon hits a 10ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 20 seconds, gentle offshore wind, and massive wave energy (7553). This is prime groundswell, perfect for a point break or reef setup like Coronation. Friday the 14th afternoon is similar: 8ft SW (17 seconds), gentle offshore, and wave energy is very strong (7537). This is the best of the second week, no question.
The last few days, from Saturday the 15th through to Tuesday the 18th, have solid surf but the wind is a bit stronger. The 18th Tuesday morning looks clean with a 8ft SW swell and light cross-offshore breeze – a solid way to wrap up the run.
Overall, the standout is Friday the 7th morning for the glassy conditions, and the Thursday 13th/Friday 14th afternoons for the powerful, long-period groundswell with offshore winds. If you’re an expert, don’t miss the 9th morning either.
Rusty out.

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.
