The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Coronation Beach. This is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the SW swell and it’s consistent, though beginner-friendly. The water’s sitting at 67°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
The real standout window is shaping up nicely. Things kick off Saturday afternoon, August 1st, with a clean 7 ft SW swell at 15 seconds, but the wind is a moderate SSE breeze at 16 mph, making it cross-off. The wave energy is moderate (1915), so it’s a solid start. Sunday morning, August 2nd, is a bit bigger at 8 ft SW, still cross-off, but the afternoon is where it’s at: a clean 7 ft SW swell, gentle S breeze at 9 mph, cross-off, and moderate energy (1527). That’s excellent for experienced surfers. Monday morning, August 3rd, gets a little messy with a cross-on NNW wind, so surf quality drops.
The best bet in the first week is Wednesday morning, August 5th. You’ll find a clean 7 ft SW swell, long period of 16 seconds, with a light ESE breeze at 6 mph, cross-off. The energy is moderate (2107), and conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your pick.
After that, the swell builds but the wind turns onshore. Thursday and Friday, August 6th and 7th, see 10 ft to 12 ft SW swells, but with strong onshore winds, it’s poor, blown-out surf. The energy ramps up to strong (4867 to 8895), but it’s not for paddling—might be more interesting for kite surfing.
The next standout is Sunday morning, August 9th. A massive 15 ft SW swell, very long period of 17 seconds, but the wind is a light offshore E breeze at 9 mph, making it clean. The energy is very strong (11410). However, this is too big for most, only for experts. The afternoon has a 13 ft SW swell, still big, with a cross-shore S breeze.
The second week has a few promising moments. Thursday afternoon, August 13th, sees a 12 ft SW swell with a very long period of 20 seconds, cross-off SSE wind at 12 mph, and very strong energy (9326). That’s a solid option. Friday morning, August 14th, is clean with a 8 ft SW swell, offshore E wind, and moderate energy (4256). Saturday morning, August 15th, is also clean: 7 ft SW, cross-off SE breeze, light, and moderate energy (2197). Finally, Sunday morning, August 16th, wraps it up with a clean 6 ft SW swell, offshore E wind, and moderate energy (1203).
Overall, the first week has the best cleaner windows, with Wednesday morning, August 5th, as the standout. The second week is promising but less certain, with Thursday afternoon, August 13th, being the pick of the bunch.

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.
