The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same stretch of swell but in feet and miles per hour.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Coronation Beach, but the wind is the key. The first few days are a bit iffy. Saturday the 29th starts with a weak 3ft SW swell, and even with a cross-off breeze, the wave energy is only moderate (821). Saturday afternoon is choppy – skip it.
The real deal is Sunday morning, August 30th. The swell jumps to a solid 7ft from the SW with a 18-second period – that’s proper groundswell, lots of energy (3115). But the best part? Glassy conditions. WNW wind at just 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets. This is a standout session for experienced surfers, though the long period will make it break a bit straight at the beach. The water temp is right around 69°, which is totally normal for this time of year.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st see the swell hanging around 6ft to 6ft, but the wind gets a bit onshore or cross-shore, so the quality drops. Tuesday morning the 1st has a clean cross-off with a 6ft SW swell and moderate energy (1674), which is a decent option if you missed Sunday.
Midweek, from Wednesday the 2nd through Friday the 4th, the swell stays in the 6ft to 7ft range, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, building a bit of chop. Not the best, but still rideable.
Saturday morning, September 5th is another one to circle. You’ve got a clean 6ft SW swell with light cross-off wind from the SE. The energy is moderate (1463), and the conditions are clean. A solid morning for experienced surfers.
Then things get a bit spicy. Sunday morning, September 6th sees the swell push up to 10ft from the SW, with a strong energy reading (3312). Wind is a fresh cross-off from the SE at 19 mph. The size is big, so this is expert territory only. It’s clean, but a heavy drop.
Monday, September 7th is the big one for the confident crew. The swell is 8ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the E at 16 mph. The combined energy is powerful (3772). The waves will be clean and lined up. This is a standout, but only for those who know what they’re doing.
The following week, from the 8th to the 13th, the swell remains present, mostly in the 7ft to 8ft range, but the wind is more variable. Wednesday morning, September 9th and Thursday morning, September 10th both offer glassy conditions with a clean 6ft to 7ft SW swell – those are your best bets for the second week if you want a clean, manageable session. The 11th and 12th see the swell building again, but the wind gets cross-shore and choppy.
By Sunday the 13th, the swell peaks at 12ft with a very long 18-second period, but the wind is howling onshore and there’s rain. That’s a write-off – more of a kite day than a surf day.
So, the standout windows are Sunday morning August 30th for glassy perfection, and Monday morning September 7th for the biggest, cleanest, offshore swell. If you’re after something a bit smaller, the mornings of September 9th and 10th are your glassy, mid-range options. Crowds are possible here, especially on the good days, so get there early.
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.
