Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coronation Beach over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Coronation Beach over the next couple weeks.
The first few days are pretty quiet. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th have some waves, but the conditions are marginal with cross-off winds. The ocean’s got some moderate energy (302 to 397 on Saturday, jumping to around 2528 on Sunday), but the surf quality isn’t there yet.
Monday the 13th is where it starts to get interesting. Morning sees a clean 8ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the ESE. The combined energy is pumping at 4113. This is serious, powerful stuff—definitely for experienced surfers only. The long period means the waves will have plenty of push and shape, and at a beach and reef setup like Coronation Beach, it should be packing some punch. This is one of the real standouts of the outlook, but you’ll want your wits about you.
Tuesday the 14th drops off a bit with a 7ft swell and moderate cross-off winds, and then Wednesday and Thursday get messy with onshore and cross-onshore winds, making for choppy conditions. The energy is still moderate to strong (around 1147 to 1532), but the wind is ruining it.
Friday the 17th is a write-off with light rain and moderate onshore wind. Not worth paddling out.
Now, Saturday the 18th brings a big bump—12ft SW swell with a period of 19 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 9099, which is very strong. But the wind is cross-onshore and it’s choppy. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session, unless you’re a real glutton for punishment. The morning is rated a bit better, but honestly, it’s a beast.
Sunday the 19th cleans up with offshore ESE winds in the morning and a 10ft SW swell. The energy is still strong at 3876, and the waves should be clean and powerful. This is another standout for experienced surfers only, with those long, lined-up sets.
Monday the 20th sees the swell drop to 6ft, but the wind swings offshore again from the east. The waves are clean and the energy is moderate (1162). This is a much more manageable size for a broader crew, and the quality is excellent for the conditions.
After that, the swell fades through the rest of the week. Tuesday the 21st has a 4ft to 5ft SSW swell with offshore wind in the morning, but the energy drops to 490–780. It’s clean but small. Wednesday the 22nd is similar, with a 5ft swell and light winds, and then Thursday is a bit flat. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th look poor with onshore winds and rain.
The final day on the 26th, Sunday, shows a bit of life again: 5ft to 6ft SW swell with a long period of 17 seconds, cross-off winds, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate at 1153 to 1821. A nice little finish to the outlook, and this time the water temp is about 69°F, which is just a touch cooler than average for this time of year.
So overall, the standout sessions are Monday morning the 13th for the big, clean groundswell, and Sunday morning the 19th for that offshore blast with solid size. Both are expert-only territory. For the more moderate crew, Monday the 20th or Sunday the 26th are your best bets.
Crowds can be a thing here sometimes, so keep an eye out.
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.
