The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s get into it.

Alright, so we’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Coronation Beach, a beach and reef setup exposed to the SW. It’s a consistent, beginner-plus spot, so it’s usually pretty welcoming. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing too wild. The first few days are a bit rough with a cross-chop, but we’ve got some real standouts to look forward to.

The weekend kicks off on Saturday, July 18, with a bumpy start. Rain showers and a cross-shore wind from the SSW at 12 mph make for a messy 7.5ft SW swell (combined energy 2496). Not worth paddling out. Saturday afternoon stays cross-shore, 9.8ft SW swell (4260) – that’s a lot of juice, but the wind and chop are just not cooperating.

Now, Sunday, July 19, things start to clean up. The morning brings a 7.9ft SW swell (2457) with a cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 9 mph. That’s clean, and the period is 15 seconds – a nice long-period groundswell that’ll wrap around the reefs nicely. For experienced surfers, this is excellent. The afternoon stays clean with a 6.9ft SW swell (1728), but the wind swings SSE and picks up a bit.

Monday, July 20, is a drop-off. The swell drops to 5.2ft (892 in the morning, 893 in the afternoon) and the wind goes cross-shore again with a chop. Not your day.

The real standouts start on Wednesday, July 22. Morning sees a 5.2ft SW swell (790) with offshore winds from the ESE at 12 mph. It’s clean, moderate offshore, and the conditions are “very good.” That’s a solid option for intermediate surfers.

But the best of the first week is Thursday, July 23. Morning has a 5.2ft SW swell (1092) with offshore ENE winds at 12 mph. Clean, moderate offshore, and the period is 14 seconds – excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon is just as good: 5.2ft SW swell (1063) with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. Clean, light wind, and the waves are holding. This is the one to circle.

Friday, July 24, the swell drops to 4.3ft (545) and the wind goes cross-shore. Not much to write home about.

Saturday, July 25, is small and messy. 3.9ft to 3.6ft swells (500-527) with light cross or cross-on winds. Not worth it.

Now, Sunday, July 26, is a big one. The morning brings a 4.3ft SW swell (1620) with a 20-second period – that’s very long period groundswell. Offshore winds from the E at 9 mph. For the reefs and points, this is a dream. Clean, gentle offshore, and the energy is moderate. This is a standout for experienced surfers who know where to sit. The afternoon sees a 4.9ft SW swell (1669) with an 18-second period, but the wind goes cross-shore, so the morning is the pick.

Monday, July 27, is another cracker. A 6.2ft SW swell (1809) with a 16-second period, cross-offshore winds from the ENE at 6 mph. Clean, light breeze, and the waves are solid. Excellent for experienced surfers again.

The end of the month and into August has some promise. On Wednesday, July 29, the morning is glassy with a 4.3ft SW swell (1262) and a 14-second period, offshore winds from the ESE at 3 mph. That’s a clean, fun session. The afternoon jumps to a 7.9ft SW swell (3523) with an 18-second period, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s a bit messier.

Thursday, July 30, stays clean with a 7.5ft SW swell (2484) in the morning, cross-offshore winds from the SE at 9 mph. Good for experienced surfers.

Friday, July 31, is interesting. The morning has a 4.9ft SW swell (1697) with fresh offshore winds from the E at 19 mph – clean but windy. The afternoon is the real standout: a 5.2ft SW swell (2746) with a 20-second period and gentle offshore winds from the ESE. That’s a long-period groundswell with clean conditions. Excellent for those who know the reef.

Saturday, August 1, wraps it up well. The morning has a 6.2ft SW swell (2091) with a fresh cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 19 mph – clean. The afternoon is glassy: 5.9ft SW swell (1798) with a 17-second period, no wind, and the conditions are “excellent.” That’s a beauty.

Sunday, August 2, is a cleaner finish:

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.
