The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Coronation Beach. It’s a beach and reef setup, consistent, exposed to the SW, and best with an easterly offshore. Water temp’s sittin’ around 68°, which is bang on normal for this time of year – no surprises there.
The next few days are a write-off, to be honest. Friday afternoon the 7th is a no-go – we’ve got 8ft SW swell but it’s onshore with a 16 mph WNW wind and light rain. Surf’s poor. Saturday the 8th is even worse: 13ft of SW swell, but a strong 28 mph SSW cross-onshore wind is gonna make it a messy, blown-out mess. Sunday morning the 9th is where it all turns around. That’s the standout. We’ve got a solid 12ft SW groundswell with a long 17-second period, and a gentle 9 mph easterly offshore wind. The combined energy is a massive 8056 (strong), and it’s clean. This is exceptional surf, but at 12ft it’s for experienced surfers only – the power is real. Sunday afternoon drops off a bit with a light cross-onshore, still decent but not the peak.
Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are a mixed bag. Monday’s back to poor conditions with strong onshore winds. Tuesday the 11th has a massive 15ft SW swell (18-second period, combined energy of 12712 – very strong) and cross-off winds, but the swell’s too big for this break, even for experts. Wednesday morning the 12th is a beauty: 10ft SW swell, 16-second period, a light easterly offshore, and clean. That’s excellent for experienced surfers. Thursday the 13th through Saturday the 15th sees the swell dropping to 8ft–6ft, with periods of offshore or cross-off winds, but the quality’s more marginal – good for a paddle, but not the top-tier stuff.
The second week gets a bit more uncertain. Sunday the 16th has a 7ft SW swell, light winds, but it’s cross-on and marginal. Monday the 17th has a 8ft SW swell with a 19 mph cross-shore, lumpy. Tuesday the 18th is a write-off with strong onshore winds. Wednesday the 19th through to Saturday the 22nd sees the swell dropping to 4–7ft, mostly light winds but cross-on or onshore. The energy’s dropping off, and it’s just not the same. Nothing here is a standout in the second week.
So, the best of the whole run is Sunday morning, the 9th of August. That 12ft SW groundswell with the 17-second period and that gentle easterly offshore is going to be clean and punchy. It’s a treat for the experienced crew. Keep an eye on Wednesday morning the 12th too – it’s a solid second option.
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.
