The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.
We’ve got a solid run of surf kicking off this Thursday, the 23rd of July, and stretching through to the start of August. The big standout is the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, but there’s plenty of good water before that.
Water temp is about 69°F, pretty standard for this time of year, nothing unusual.
First real session is Thursday morning. Swell is a solid 6 feet from the SW with a nice long 14-second period, and the wind is offshore from the ENE at 19 mph. That’s clean, powerful groundswell hitting the beach and reef. Wave energy is strong (1402). It’s consistent and exposed. Crowds can pop up sometimes. At 6 feet, it’s a bit much for beginners.
Thursday afternoon cleans up even better. Wind drops to 12 mph from the ESE, still offshore, swell holds at 6 feet. Same long period. Beautiful conditions for the experienced surfer.
Friday the 24th is smaller. Morning is 4 feet with cross-off wind, clean but small. Friday afternoon is the pick of that day: gentle offshore breeze at 9 mph, swell 4 feet, glassy. Good for a bigger board.
Saturday the 25th is small but clean. Afternoon goes glassy with 3 feet of swell and barely any wind. Nice, easy session.
Sunday the 26th is poor. Light cross-onshore and onshore winds, swell only 2 to 3 feet. Skip it.
Monday the 27th jumps up. Morning gives 8 feet from the SW, 14-second period, with clean offshore wind at 12 mph. Energy is 2125. That’s expert territory. Afternoon goes cross-shore and messy.
Tuesday the 28th is a highlight. Morning has 6 feet with 15-second period, clean. But the afternoon is the jewel: glassy conditions, wind at just 3 mph from the SE, swell 6 feet, 14-second period, energy 1414. That is pure, clean power. Best session for clean conditions without the insane size.
Wednesday the 29th is small and messy.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st bring a new pulse. Friday morning the 31st of July is a standout: 7 feet from the WSW, 16-second period, offshore wind at 3 mph from the NE. Clean, long-period groundswell, energy 2529. Expert only.
Saturday the 1st of August morning is similar – 8 feet, SW, 16-second period, glassy.
Now the big one – Sunday the 2nd of August morning. This is the king of the run. Swell hits 8 feet from the SW, 16-second period, with glassy offshore wind at 3 mph from the ESE. Energy is massive at 4548. That is a serious groundswell, and with those winds, Coronation Beach will be firing. Only for experts. The long period means long, powerful lines with big lulls between sets.
Sunday afternoon goes onshore and messy. Monday the 3rd is back to 7 feet with clean morning wind, but Tuesday the 4th onward gets blown out. Wednesday the 5th through Friday the 7th is a write-off with near-gale winds.
So final word: Sunday the 2nd of August morning is the absolute best. Tuesday the 28th of July afternoon is a close second for clean power. Get on those.
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.
