The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a big few weeks ahead at Coronation Beach. This spot is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the SW, so when the swell lines up, it can really fire. Right now, the water temperature is sitting at 68°F, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The first half of the forecast is a mixed bag. Saturday the 8th is a write-off – a 13ft SW swell with a 31 mph cross-on wind and near gale conditions means it’s blown out and dangerous. Not worth paddling out. Sunday the 9th though, that’s the standout. Morning brings a 12ft SW swell at 17 seconds, combined wave energy of 8056 (strong), and a light SE cross-off breeze at 6 mph. The conditions are clean, and the report says it’s exceptional for expert surfers. This is the best on offer – a proper groundswell with that very long period, so it’ll be lining up well at this reef. A big swell over 8ft, so not for beginners, and crowds are possible here.
Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are messy with onshore winds and rain, though Tuesday morning has a clean 13ft SE cross-off at 12 mph, but the score is more marginal. Wednesday the 12th through Friday the 14th see a consistent drop in size, with 8ft to 8ft SW swells and clean offshore winds from the east. That’s more manageable for experienced surfers, with moderate wave energy (around 2500 to 3800). The mornings are the pick with offshore winds.
After that, from Saturday the 15th to Tuesday the 19th, there’s a gap of smaller days, then a big pulse returns. The next true standout is Wednesday the 19th morning. A 13ft SW swell at 16 seconds, combined energy of 8296 (strong), and a gentle 9 mph ESE offshore wind. That’s exceptional for expert surfers and clean. It’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it – promising but not locked in.
The second week sees a steady run of 8ft to 13ft SW swells, but wind is often onshore or cross, so quality drops. The 23rd of August has a big 13ft SW swell at 18 seconds with combined energy hitting 10118 (very strong), but it’s cross-shore with a cross-chop, so it’s more for the big-wave crew or kite surfers than a clean paddle session.
Overall, the best windows are Sunday the 9th morning and Wednesday the 19th morning. Both are big, clean, and for experts only. Don’t expect much for beginners here over the next two weeks.
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.
