The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what Coronation Beach has coming.
We've got a decent stretch of surf ahead, but you'll need to pick your times. The water is 69°, right where it should be for this time of year, no surprises there.
The first real session to pencil in is Thursday morning, September 3rd. The swell is a clean 7ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period, and there's a glassy wind out of the SE at just 3 mph. The energy in the water is strong at 1688. That's excellent, but it's a bigger swell, so keep it for the experienced crew. The afternoon goes to crap with onshore wind.
Friday the 4th is a total washout—chop and onshore wind all day. The swell is there at 7ft, but it's not worth it.
Saturday the 5th looks just as rough, especially with that 22 mph onshore wind and rain in the afternoon. No go.
Things get interesting from Sunday the 6th. The swell is cranking up to 10ft to 12ft—that's big boy territory, experts only. The wind is clean and cross-offshore, so the lines will be there. The combined energy is massive, hitting 4313 on Sunday morning. If you're confident, this is a huge, clean window.
Monday the 7th is the true standout. A massive, very long period groundswell arrives, logging a 17-second period and peaking the energy at 4710. With a clean cross-off wind, this is the top pick of the whole forecast. The 10ft morning is for experts; the afternoon drops to a still-burly 8ft.
The first real clean, offshore window for smaller surf is Tuesday the 8th. The morning has an offshore ESE breeze at 16 mph cleaning up a 7ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. This stretch runs through to Thursday the 10th, with clean conditions and solid 6ft to 8ft SW groundswell.
It gets sketchy from Friday the 11th to Saturday the 12th. The swell drops and onshore wind returns. Take a break.
Sunday the 13th brings back clean 8ft SW groundswell with a cross-off wind. Good session. The clean, smaller swell holds into Monday the 14th.
The last real highlight is Wednesday afternoon, September 16th. A moderate offshore wind cleans up a 6ft SSW swell. The period is short at 9 seconds, but it'll be a fun, clean one for the whole crew.
The final days of the forecast trail off into onshore wind and small waves. By September 18th, it's looking flat and messy.
So, the big calls here: Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are your all-time, expert-only standouts for massive, clean groundswell. For the cleanest, most manageable quality with offshore wind, aim for Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th mornings.
Rusty, out.

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.
