Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, it’s Coronation Beach we’re sussing out, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid run of swell coming through, but the wind is gonna be our main dance partner. The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Monday the 10th is a complete no-go with a strong cross-on wind and rain – just forget it. The ocean is angry and lumpy, not a wave worth paddling for.

But then, things get interesting. Tuesday morning the 11th sees a shift. The wind goes cross-off, the sea cleans up, and we’ve got a proper 12ft SW groundswell (16-second period) pushing in. The combined energy is pumping hard at 6473. That’s a lot of power. This is a big, powerful wave – definitely for experienced surfers only. It’ll be a heavy paddle out, but the sets will be worth the wait. The wind holds good in the morning, making it a highlight of the forecast.

Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th keep the good run going with the wind swinging offshore from the east, giving us clean, lined-up 8ft to 8ft SW swell. These are excellent conditions for the experienced crew. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.

The wave energy drops a little through the weekend of the 15th and 16th, but it’s still rideable, with cleaner mornings offering the best window. The bigger, more consistent pulse returns on Tuesday the 18th with another 10ft SW groundswell and a light offshore breeze in the morning. That’s another standout session for the experts.

The end of the third week, around the 22nd and 23rd, looks like a beauty. Saturday the 22nd has a massive 10ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period, and the energy is a whopping 6751. The wind is light. Then Sunday the 23rd morning is *glassy* – zero wind. That’s a rare gift. For a beach and reef setup, that long-period swell might bend a bit straight, but if you get the right bank, the power and shape will be phenomenal. Truly the best of the whole forecast.

Crowds are mentioned as “sometimes” busy here, so on these standout days, especially the glassy Sunday, expect a few locals out. The break is consistent, so it’s a reliable bet.

There’s a bit of a dodgy spell from the 20th to the 21st with onshore winds and poor conditions, but the good stuff comes back. The 24th and 25th see the wind turn nasty again, so the run ends a bit messy. Overall, the best of the best is the 22nd and 23rd, with the 11th, 12th, and 18th being strong runners-up. Get out there for the early morning sessions.

Rusty.
