Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into what’s happening at Coronation Beach.

Right off the bat, the forecast is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid run of decent, rideable swell, but the wind is going to be the main character for a lot of the next couple of weeks. It’s not all bad though, there are a couple of standout windows that are going to be well worth your time.

The first real highlight is the Thursday morning of the 10th. We’re looking at a clean 5ft of groundswell out of the southwest, with a nice long 15-second period. The wind is offshore and light, which is just what you want. This will be a proper, clean session. The combined energy is strong (1070). The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The next window to really get excited about is the morning of Monday the 14th. The swell has bumped up a touch to 7ft, still holding that solid 14-second period and coming from the southwest. The wind will be light and cross-offshore, which should keep things clean and make the lineup feel a bit more organized. The energy is cranking (1728). This is looking like one of the best, most powerful swells of the first week. Monday afternoon looks like it could turn into a bit of a washing machine, though, with strong winds expected to mess things up.

The back half of the first week and the weekend are a write-off, to be honest. Onshore and cross-onshore winds are going to chop things up and the surf will be hard to enjoy. There is a pulse of energy late on the 19th and into the 20th, but the wind looks too messy to make it worthwhile.

Then we’ve got a quiet couple of days around the 17th and 18th with smaller surf and poor conditions. It’s still worth being out there, but expectations should be low.

Looking further out, we’ve got two more windows that are promising, but it’s the long-range forecast so treat them with a bit of caution. The first is the morning of Tuesday the 23rd. The swell is a bit smaller, around 4ft, but the wind is meant to swing light and cross-offshore, which could set up some fun, clean banks.

But the one to really circle on the calendar is the morning of Thursday the 24th. The forecast is for solid 5ft southwest swell with an offshore breeze, making for excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. The energy is moderate (1073). It could be a very clean day.

And there’s one more to keep an eye on for Friday the 25th. We’re looking at a long-period 20-second groundswell. That’s a very long period, which will have plenty of push, but it’s a bit of a double-edged sword at a spot like this. It’s a beach and reef setup, so that long period can sometimes make the waves break too straight and close out on the sandier sections. It’s more of a reef wave on those days. The wind looks light, though, which is a huge plus. Keep an eye on it.

So, to sum it up: the two standout sessions are the morning of the 10th and the morning of the 14th. The 23rd and the 24th are your longer-range looks for clean conditions. The rest of it is all about dodging the wind.

Rusty, out.
