Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Coronation Beach.

First up, the water is sitting at 68.2°, which is a bit colder than what we’d normally expect for this time of year. Nothing too wild, but you’ll want a good spring suit.

The next few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 17th is all cross-off and cross-on winds with a fresh breeze, and the wave energy is strong but messy. The swell is around 4.3ft to 5.2ft, but the wind just ruins it. You’re better off waiting.

Saturday the 18th sees a jump in size, but it’s still cross-on. The morning has 7.5ft SW swell with moderate energy (2200), and by the afternoon we’re looking at a solid 9.8ft SW groundswell, period hitting 17 seconds, and wave energy is pumping big time (4902). That’s a lot of power. It’s a bit too much for the average punter – only for the experienced crew. The wind is light, so it’s cleaner than the morning, but still cross-on.

Now, Sunday the 19th is where it gets interesting. The morning is the standout for the whole outlook. You’ve got 7.9ft of SW groundswell, a long 15-second period, and the wind is light and cross-off from the ESE. That’s clean as a whistle. The wave energy is strong (2490). This is top-tier for experienced surfers, a proper session. The cross-off will groom those lines, and the long period means nice, powerful waves with good shape. Just be aware that with a long period swell like this, the beach break might get a bit straight, so pick your take-off spot.

Monday the 20th morning is also a beauty. 5.6ft SW swell, clean offshore wind from the E, and light breeze. This is a great window for intermediate surfers who want a step down from Sunday’s size. The energy is moderate (1044), and the conditions are clean. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore chop, so get out early.

Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd offer more good windows. Tuesday morning has 4.3ft with clean offshore wind, perfect for a fun session. Wednesday morning is 5.9ft with a cross-off and clean conditions, again excellent for experienced surfers.

Thursday the 23rd afternoon is another one to circle. You’ve got 6.2ft SW swell, a clean offshore wind from the E, and light breeze. That’s a solid, clean day.

The end of the first week and into the second week sees the swell drop off. Friday the 24th is okay, but size is down. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are small and poor, with energy dropping to weak levels (267-397). Not worth paddling out.

Then we get a small but interesting pulse on the 29th of July. The morning has a tiny 3.0ft SW swell, but the period is a massive 19 seconds, and the energy is moderate (1029). That’s a very long period groundswell. With clean, light offshore wind, it’ll be clean and the waves will have a lot of juice for the size. A sneaky good session if you’re on a log or a fish.

The 30th of July morning sees size back up to 5.2ft, with a 20-second period and strong energy (2291), but the wind is a moderate cross-off from the SE, keeping it clean. Good for the experienced crew.

Best on offer: Without a doubt, Sunday the 19th morning is the pick of the bunch. Big, clean, and powerful. The runner-up is Monday the 20th morning for a slightly smaller but still superb session.
