Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coronation Beach over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, looking at the run ahead at Coronation Beach. We’ve got a solid stretch of swell on the way, but you’ll need to pick your moments because the wind is going to flip around and mess things up a fair bit.
The water’s sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year by about 2°, so you might want a thicker suit if you’re used to warmer spells.
It all kicks off on Wednesday afternoon, the 8th of July. Swell’s already pushing 7 ft from the SW with a long 17-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy – and combined energy is a solid 2719 (moderate to strong). But the wind is a light cross from the SSW at 6 mph, making it a bit average. The forecast notes marginal surf with questionable tide conditions, so it’s a bit of a workout for the experienced lads.
Thursday morning, the 9th of July, is where it starts to clean right up. Swell drops slightly to 7 ft from the WSW, still a long 16-second period, but the wind goes glassy – dead calm at 3 mph from the north. That’s a major positive; the surf will be clean as a whistle. Combined energy is 1956 (moderate). It’s an excellent window for experienced surfers, and this is one of the true standouts of the whole forecast. The wind stays on your side, and the swell direction matches the optimum SW exactly. Crowds can be around sometimes, but with conditions this good, it’s worth the company.
Thursday afternoon sees the wind swing cross-on from the SW at 6 mph, and the swell drops to 6 ft with a 14-second period. Combined energy falls to 1427. Still surfable, but not as clean.
Friday the 10th is smaller and more marginal, with 5 ft swell in the morning and 4 ft in the afternoon, periods around 13 seconds, and light cross or cross-on wind. Combined energy is around 560-588 (weak). Not much to get excited about.
Saturday the 11th has a small 3 ft SW swell, but the morning brings a gentle offshore wind from the east at 9 mph. That’s clean, but tiny, with combined energy at 259 (weak). The afternoon is a bit better with a cross-off breeze. Still small.
Now, Sunday the 12th of July – this is the other big standout. Morning brings 6 ft from the SW with a very long 17-second period, combined energy jumping to 3518 (strong), and a light cross-off wind from the SE at 6 mph. Clean, powerful, and with that long period it’ll be best at the point or reef sections – it might break a bit too straight on the beach. Excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a moderate cross-shore.
Monday the 13th is similar – morning clean with 8 ft from the SW, 18-second period, combined energy 3511, light cross-off. That’s expert territory over 8 ft later in the afternoon though, and the wind gets stronger. Tuesday the 14th is still good with 7 ft in the morning and a light offshore from the east – clean, with combined energy 1719.
There’s a bit of a gap later in the week: Wednesday the 15th is smaller at 5 ft, with a fresh northeast breeze that’s still cross-off but strong at 19 mph in the morning. Thursday the 16th is better again – 6 ft from the SW, 15-second period, combined energy 1347, and the afternoon goes glassy with zero wind from the WNW. That’s a beautiful clean session.
Friday the 17th goes downhill in the afternoon with a cross-on and chop, and Saturday the 18th is a write-off – 8 ft swell but onshore wind with rain, rough conditions. Sunday the 19th gets big – 10 ft to 13 ft from the WSW to SW, combined energy hitting 10741 (very strong) but with fresh cross-onshore wind and lumpy seas. That’s kite-surfing territory, not for paddling.
Monday the 20th of July sees a massive 13 ft SW swell in the morning with combined energy of 13448 (very strong) and a clean cross-off wind – but at that size, it’s for experts only, and the beach break might close out. Tuesday the 21st drops to 8 ft with a light cross-off, still solid for experienced surfers.
So overall, the best windows are Thursday morning the 9th and Sunday morning the 12th for the cleanest, most powerful waves. The long period swells will really shine at the reef.
Stay safe, read the conditions, and don’t get caught out by the big stuff later on.
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.
