The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Coronation Beach.
The outlook kicks off with a bit of a wait, but the first swell worth talking about arrives on Thursday 27 August. It’s a big one – 10 ft of SW groundswell, with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 4189 (strong to very strong). The trouble is, the wind is straight cross from the south at 16 mph, and there’s rain showers around. It’s a powerful, lumpy mess, so not really a standout for surfing. The water temp is 68°, which is about average for this time of year, and the anomaly is only -0.4°, so no surprises there.
The next few days are pretty average. Friday 28 August has a 7 ft SW swell, period 13 seconds, and cross-off wind from the SSE at 16 mph, which keeps it clean. But the energy is moderate (1641) and the forecast says it’s marginal. Saturday morning 29 August drops to 3 ft with a very long 21-second period, but the energy is weak (803) – not enough push for a proper session.
The best bet in the short term is Sunday 30 August morning. The swell is 7 ft from the SW, period 18 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-off from the south at just 6 mph. The combined energy is 2896 (strong), and the conditions are clean. This is a proper window for experienced surfers – the size is right up there, and with that long period groundswell, it’ll be moving fast. Just be aware that this break is a beach and reef setup, so the long period might make it a bit tricky, but it’s still the pick of the early run.
Then there’s a gap of quiet days until Tuesday 1 September morning. The swell drops to 6 ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, and the wind is completely glassy – 0 mph from the west. That’s an absolute treat. 6 ft with glassy conditions and a clean face? That’s a beauty. The energy is 1611 (moderate), but the quality is excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout.
The following week is a mixed bag. Thursday 3 September morning has a 7 ft SW swell, period 17 seconds, and very light cross-off wind from the SSW at 3 mph. The energy is 2630 (strong), and it’s clean. Another good one for those who can handle it. But from Friday 4 September onward, things get ugly. Strong onshore winds, big messy swell up to 13 ft, and rain showers. The energy hits 6339 (very strong) on Saturday 5 September, but with 25 mph cross-on wind, it’s a no-go for paddle surfing – more of a kite session.
The outlook improves again on Tuesday 8 September morning. A 10 ft SW groundswell, period 17 seconds, with light cross-off wind from the SE at 3 mph. The energy is 4427 (very strong) and the conditions are clean. That’s a big, powerful, clean swell – pure gold for experienced surfers. Then Thursday 10 September morning also looks promising with 7 ft, same direction, and light cross-off wind.
So, if you’re patient, the standouts are Sunday 30 August morning, Tuesday 1 September morning, Thursday 3 September morning, and Tuesday 8 September morning. The rest is either too windy, too messy, or too small. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because the long-range stuff could shift, but right now, those are your windows.
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.
