The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Coronation Beach. We got some serious swell on the way, but the wind is going to be the boss of this show for a while. Gotta pick your moments.
The first couple of days are a total no-go. Saturday the 8th is packing a heavy 13ft SW groundswell with a 14-15 second period. There’s a ton of energy out there, but it’s being shredded by a near-gale cross-onshore wind. It's gonna be a full-blown stormy mess. Save the paddleboard, might be a kite day.
Then, bam. Sunday the 9th is the gem of the forecast. We’ve still got a big 11ft SW swell, long 17-second period, and the energy readings are huge. But the wind goes light offshore from the E, and it’s going to be absolutely glassy clean. This is exceptional, serious surf. But it’s big and powerful, so this is strictly for the experts only. The afternoon stays clean, though a light cross-shore breeze puts just a little wrinkle on it.
Monday the 10th is another blown-out dud. Skip it. Tuesday the 11th is back on for the experienced crowd. Still a solid 13ft SW swell, with that same long period and even more energy. The wind swings cross-offshore from the SE, keeping it clean. It's a battle, but this is a proper, serious session for those who are comfortable in heavy water.
Wednesday and Thursday, the 12th and 13th, see the swell ease to the 7-10ft range, but mornings are clean with light offshore winds from the E. Solid, powerful surf for the competent surfer. Friday the 14th follows the same trend, with moderate offshores and clean 8ft waves.
Heading into the weekend of the 15th and 16th, the swell backs off to a more friendly 5-6ft. The winds are lighter but more cross-shore, so it won’t have that same perfection. It’s much more manageable for the intermediates, but it’s not the standout quality of the earlier days.
The new week kicks off with a pulse. Monday the 17th marks 10ft of SW swell, but the wind goes onshore and it roughens up. Tuesday the 18th is a full washout with strong cross-onshore winds and rain. Another one to skip.
But, there’s a nice little window mid-week. Wednesday the 19th, the swell is a clean 10ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the SE. Clean and powerful for the experts. The morning is the time.
Looking further out, Thursday the 20th is looking like a real gem for the less-experienced surfer. The morning is showing glassy conditions with a 8ft WSW swell. It’s smaller, but that calm wind is a game-changer. This is a great option for a dawn patrol.
The final run flattens out a bit. The end of the second week sees the swell drop and onshore winds return, leaving poor to marginal conditions. The last day of the forecast window, Sunday the 23rd, shows a small, glassy 5ft SW swell. It’s not big, but it could be a fun, clean finish.
So, in a nutshell: The 9th and 11th are the big, heavy days for the experts. For everyone else, the 20th is your best bet for clean, manageable waves. The first week has more juice, but the second week’s dawn patrol is looking promising. Keep your eyes on the forecast and pick your window.
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.
