Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coronation Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way at Coronation Beach.
The week ahead starts slow, but don't tune out because there’s a solid run of big swell and clean conditions building from the south-west that’ll have a few windows of absolute magic for those who know what they’re doing. The first few days aren't offering much to write home about, but we’ve got a few clear standouts to aim for.
The water temp is sitting around 69°F with a slight anomaly of -2°F, so it’s a touch cooler than usual for this time of year, but nothing to complain about.
The first real action worth getting excited about is Monday morning, July 13. Early doors, we’ve got a clean 8ft south-west swell with a very long 18-second period and offshore winds from the ESE at 12 mph. The combined energy is massive (4113), and this is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The long period will make the paddling out easier between sets, but on a beach-and-reef setup like this, that groundswell will be powerful and a bit straight, so the reef sections will be the ones to watch. The wind is offshore and clean, so this is a real standout—the best on offer in the first week.
Tuesday afternoon, July 14, also deserves a mention. The swell drops to a still solid 6ft from the SW, with a 15-second period and gentle offshore wind from the ENE at 9 mph. The energy is still strong (1441), and the conditions are clean and excellent for experienced surfers.
Things get a bit messy mid-week with cross-shore and onshore winds, and by Friday, July 17, a fresh cross-onshore breeze makes it a write-off. Then, Saturday afternoon, July 18, the swell jumps to a massive 13ft from the SW with a 17-second period and absolutely massive energy (15129). But the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, plus it’s way too big for this break—definitely for experts only, if anyone’s mad enough.
Now, here’s the real sleeper: Sunday morning, July 19. The swell drops to a still hefty 8ft from the SW, 15-second period, and the wind goes glassy from the NNW at 3 mph. The energy is still huge (3395), and with glassy conditions on a wave that size, it’s going to be a magic session for experienced surfers. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
The following week has a couple more windows. Wednesday morning, July 22, brings a clean 5ft SW swell with offshore ESE wind at 12 mph, and Thursday morning, July 23, sees a 8ft SSW swell with a clean offshore breeze from the ENE. Friday morning, July 24, is another strong one for experienced surfers: 10ft SW swell, 16-second period, and clean offshore wind from the east at 6 mph. The energy is strong (4016).
The last real standout is Saturday morning, July 25, with a clean 6ft SW swell and a slight offshore breeze from the ESE at 3 mph. Great for a morning session.
Overall, the standout is Monday morning, July 13, with that big, long-period groundswell and offshore wind. The second best is Sunday morning, July 19, with that glassy, powerful swell. Both are for experienced surfers only. The rest of the period is a mix of onshore slop and smaller clean windows, but those two mornings are the ones to circle on the calendar.

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.
