Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coronation Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
First up, we’ve got a bit of a wait for the good stuff. The early window is pretty marginal, with a weak 3ft SW swell (combined energy of 410) on Saturday the 11th and a cross-off breeze that’s not doing us any favours. Honestly, not worth paddling out for.
It’s not until Sunday the 13th that things start to get interesting. Monday morning the 13th is where we see the first real standout. Coronation Beach lights up with an 8ft SW groundswell, pumping in at a very long 18 seconds. The water temp is sitting around 69°, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year, but nothing crazy. The wind is offshore from the ESE, so expect clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy is a solid 4113, so there’s plenty of power. This is serious groundswell, so it’ll be handing out proper barrels, but at 8ft, this is for experienced surfers only. The sets will have long gaps, making the paddle out easier, but the wave itself is a beast.
Tuesday afternoon the 14th is another sneaky good option. The swell drops to a clean 6ft from the SW, still with a nice 15-second period, and the wind goes glassy offshore from the ENE (combined energy 1421). That’s a beautiful, clean afternoon session for a confident intermediate.
The following week sees a serious pulse of energy. Saturday the 18th morning is a massive 13ft SW swell (combined energy 18103!), but the wind is a messy cross-on from the SW. That’s a recipe for a washing machine, and honestly, with that much size and wind, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle session. The afternoon cleans up a bit, but it’s still big and choppy.
Looking further out, Sunday the 19th morning is a solid pick. An 8ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and that clean offshore from the E again (combined energy 3288). Another day for the experienced crew.
The real long-range highlight is Thursday the 24th. The morning session is a treat: 8ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, but the wind is dead calm, glassy. Combined energy of 2412. That’s the kind of morning you call in sick for. Clean, powerful, and all yours if you’re early. The break is a consistent beach and reef setup, so expect some classic peaks. Just be aware that crowds are possible here.
The last call on Sunday the 26th morning is a nice, clean 5ft SW swell with offshore ESE winds and a 15-second period (combined energy 949). A perfect way to wrap up the outlook with a fun, manageable session.
That’s the picture from here. Stay safe out there.
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.
