The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf ahead. This stretch is all about one spot – Coronation Beach – and it’s got a wild ride in store for us.
The early days are a tease. Sunday the 16th shows potential but with a cross-off wind and a clean 6ft SW swell (16 seconds) on the afternoon, it’s solid for anyone who’s got some time in the water. The energy's moderate (1537), but the vibe is clean. That big, long-period groundswell is going to wrap in nicely at this exposed beach and reef setup. By Monday the 17th, though, things get ugly fast with onshore winds and rain, so forget about it.
The real standout is Tuesday morning, August 18th. This is where it gets special. We’re looking at a 10ft SW swell with a 16-second period and glassy conditions. That’s 5,151 in the energy department – that’s strong, powerful water. This is expert territory for sure, no place for a beginner. The swell direction is bang on the optimum from the southwest, so the reef is going to handle that long-period energy beautifully. If you can handle it, this is the session to circle.
The quality holds up through the week, but conditions are a bit of a mixed bag. Wednesday the 19th morning is clean again with a 8ft SW swell and a gentle offshore breeze, but the crowds are sometimes a factor here, so get in early. Thursday the 20th morning offers another clean 10ft SW swell, but the score is marginal, likely due to tide. By Friday the 21st, we’ve got a 8ft SW swell with a moderate offshore from the east – clean and powerful, another solid option for experienced surfers.
The second week looks a bit more temperamental. A few clean mornings in there, like Sunday the 23rd with a 5ft SW swell and a gentle cross-off breeze. But the energy drops off to moderate levels. Then we hit a rough patch from the 24th to the 25th with strong onshore winds and poor conditions. The next real standout is Sunday morning, August 30th. That’s nearly two weeks out, so keep a loose hold on it, but the forecast is mouthwatering: glassy conditions, 8ft WSW groundswell with a 17-second period, and over 3,900 in the energy. That is a big, clean, powerful swell for the experts again. The period is so long that the point and reef here will be the places to be; the beach might get a bit straight. Promising, but we’ll see how it firms up.
Right now, if you’ve got the skills, August 18th looks like the one that will have you shaking on the sand afterwards.

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.
