The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what's cookin'. The main player around here is Coronation Beach, a beach and reef set-up that takes a south-west swell. A lot of this sixteen-day stretch is gonna be messy or just average, but there's a couple of windows where it'll come together. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing too wild.
The first couple of days are a bit of a write-off. Saturday the 5th is a no-go with a solid 8ft SW swell but cross-onshore winds and a lot of chop. The combined energy is a massive 2579 (moderate to strong) Saturday morning, but the wind kills it. Sunday the 6th improves a little – that 12ft swell from the SW is a big boy, and the wind goes clean and cross-off, but the 3838 energy is full-on. This is definitely one for experienced surfers only, as 12ft is too much for most. Monday the 7th is the first real highlight. The morning session holds a clean, 10ft SW groundswell with a long 17-second period and cross-off winds. The energy is cranking at 4766. That long period will make it wall up nicely at the reef, with good shape and plenty of power, but the sets will be widely spaced. A bit of a paddle, but the reward is there.
Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th stay clean with offshore winds, but the swell drops back to a more manageable 7ft to 8ft. The energy is still solid, sitting between 2357 and 3672. Wednesday morning the 9th has a strong offshore breeze which will make for clean faces, but it might be a struggle to get into them. The afternoon is easier. Thursday the 10th is looking sweet – a drop to 5ft, but with fresh offshore winds in the morning and moderate offshore in the afternoon. The energy is a lighter 1152 (moderate), but it’s clean and workable. A decent option for a wider range of surfers.
Then there’s a bit of a lull over the second weekend, with smaller swell and lumpy cross-shore winds. The surf drops off significantly. It picks back up on Monday the 14th of September. That morning is a standout. You’ve got a 8ft SW swell with a 15-second period, a gentle offshore wind, and an energy reading of 2360. It says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and I’d agree. That’s the one to circle. After that, the middle of the second week looks small and windy again until Thursday the 17th, where a new 8ft to 8ft SW groundswell shows up with a 17-second period. The energy is ramping up again to 3811, but the wind is cross-shore, leaving a bit of chop.
The very end of the forecast, Saturday the 19th, pumps a massive 12ft SW swell with an enormous 8999 energy reading, but the cross-onshore wind and choppy conditions will make it a battle. Not the one for paddle surfing, honestly looks more like a kite day. Sunday the 20th is cleaner but still a heavy 8ft.
So, the best on offer? That Monday morning the 14th of September is the pick for a clean, powerful, and manageable session for the experienced crew. The Sunday morning the 6th is a close second for the big-wave chargers if you don't mind the size.
Stay safe out there.

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.
