Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here, and I'm looking at the charts for Coronation Beach. We've got a solid run of south-west groundswell coming through, but you've gotta pick your windows. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a touch under what we'd normally see for this time of year, but it's nothing to complain about.

Alright, let's get into it. The real action starts Sunday the 12th of July. The morning is the pick with a 7ft SW groundswell, a very long 17-second period, and clean ESE offshore winds. The wave energy is strong (2694). This is a setup for experienced surfers though – it's a solid size and that long period will push through fast. The afternoon stays clean but the wind swings cross-off, so it's still rideable.

Monday the 13th of July morning is a standout. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SW, still with a very long 18-second period, and the wind is offshore from the ESE. The energy is pumping (4113). This is big, powerful, groundswell – excellent for more experienced crew. The afternoon is still clean, but the cross-off breeze takes a little shine off it.

Tuesday the 14th of July afternoon is actually a sneaky good call. The swell drops to 6ft SW, but the wind goes glassy offshore from the ENE. It's a smaller, cleaner option for the intermediate crowd.

Wednesday the 15th of July afternoon is the real gem of the first week. The swell is a manageable 5ft from the SW, and the wind turns glassy. Absolutely dead calm. You'll be surfing clean, lined-up waves. It's a bit smaller, but the quality will be worth the paddle out.

Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th of July are a write-off. Strong cross-onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and rain showers. Best to leave the board in the car.

Now, we get a massive pulse on Saturday the 18th of July. An 12ft SW groundswell with a 19-second period is pumping wave energy (8469). But the wind is a messy cross-onshore, so it's going to be a choppy, challenging beast. Only for the absolute experts, and even then, it's not pretty.

But then Sunday the 19th of July morning is one of the best on offer. The swell is still a solid 10ft from the SW, with a 16-second period, and the wind is glassy. That's a big, powerful, clean wave. The energy is very strong (3856). This is a proper session for the experienced crew.

Monday the 20th of July morning is a good fallback, with a 6ft SW swell and clean cross-off winds from the SE.

The following week has a few smaller windows. Thursday the 23rd of July afternoon is a real standout. An 8ft SW swell rolls in with a very long 18-second period, and the wind is offshore from the E. The energy is huge (5258). This is a proper, powerful, clean groundswell.

The last weekend of the month (Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July) looks messy again with strong cross-onshore winds. But Monday the 27th of July morning brings a clean 8ft SW swell with light offshore winds from the ESE. A solid way to finish the outlook.

For the best of the best, I'm calling Wednesday the 15th of July afternoon for the smaller, glassy perfection, and Sunday the 19th of July morning for the bigger, clean, powerful groundswell. Both are worth getting wet for.

Rusty.
