The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's coming our way.
Coronation Beach is the only spot on the menu, and it's a bit of a mixed bag this time. The opening days are a bit frustrating. We've got a solid, long-period groundswell from the SW, but the wind is buggering things up. Through Tuesday and into the weekend, the swell is there, but the conditions are just "marginal" at best. The winds are mostly cross or even cross-onshore, which is gonna leave the surface a bit chopped up and messy. The combined swell energy is pumping hard, but it's not translating to clean surf. Things finally start to look up on Monday the 7th. That morning is the standout. We've got a solid 10.0ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and the wind swings offshore from the ESE. The energy is massive at 4281, and the conditions are clean. This is proper, powerful groundswell, but at this size and with that period, it's going to be a handful. With a long period like that, the waves will be heaving, and it's a beach and reef setup, so this is strictly for experienced surfers. The water is sitting around an average temp for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The next few days after that still have size, but the winds are a bit more unreliable. Tuesday the 8th looks clean again in the morning with a 10.0ft SW swell and a 17-second period, but the wind is cross-off, not straight offshore. The energy is still huge at 4878.
After that, the swell starts to drop back, but we get a few more clean windows late in the period. The morning of the 15th is a real sleeper. It's a much smaller 4.3ft SW swell, but with an offshore ESE breeze at only 3 mph, you're looking at glassy conditions. The energy is low, but the quality for a longboard or a funboard could be very good.
To sum it up, the first week is a washout. The real standout is Monday the 7th for the big wave crew, and then a smaller, cleaner window on the 15th for the rest of us. The rest of the time, you're fighting the wind. If you're not an expert, hold out for that 15th.

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.
