The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, doing it in feet and degrees Fahrenheit.
Water temp at Coronation Beach is about 68°F. Pretty standard for this time of year, feels normal.
We start slow. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th are poor. That 5ft swell Wednesday is cross-on with bumps, moderate energy. It’s not happening. First real standout arrives Sunday morning, September 20th. That morning has a clean 6ft SW groundswell at 13 seconds, energy reading 1147, with a light cross-off breeze from the SSE. It’s clean, rideable, and for an exposed beach-and-reef break like Coronation Beach, this is the one to aim for in the first week. Not huge, but your best chance at a good wave.
After that, it’s a rough stretch. Cross-on and cross-shore winds, lumpy and choppy, through most of the following week. Swell runs between 4ft and 8ft but the wind messes it up.
Then Friday September 25th morning brings a big 10ft SW groundswell with a 20-second period – that’s 6980 in energy. But the cross-shore breeze at 16 mph keeps it lumpy. This is expert size, not clean. The afternoon gets to 12ft, even bigger, but wind picks up. Not a day for beginners. Saturday September 26th morning is the second best call: 8ft at 17 seconds, energy 3544, with a cleaner cross-off breeze. Still beefy, but more manageable.
October 1st morning sees a 7ft SW swell with light cross-shore breeze and moderate energy of 2062. It’s okay, not special. Afternoons get too breezy.
Best sessions: Sunday morning September 20th for cleanliness, and Saturday morning September 26th for size with a bit of order. Crowds will show on those days. The rest of the window is mostly wind-slapped or lumpy. Long gaps of poor quality between the 17th and 20th, and again from the 22nd to the 25th.
Signing off.
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.
