Coronation Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Coronation Beach over the next 16 days.

We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but it’s not all clean. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The first real chance to get wet kicks off on Wednesday the 22nd. Morning sees a 5ft SW swell, 13-second period, and a clean ESE offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (721). It’s not world-class, but it’s surfable and tidy. The afternoon picks up a bit more size to 6ft, still from the SW with a 13-second period, but the wind shifts cross-offshore, and the energy jumps to a strong 2045. It’ll be a bit more powerful but still clean.

Thursday the 23rd is a standout. The morning is a bit blown out with a 19 mph E wind, but the afternoon is where it’s at. You’ve got 6ft of SW groundswell, 14-second period, a clean ESE offshore at 12 mph, and the energy is pumping at 1179. This is excellent, experienced surfer territory. The waves will have good shape and power, and it’s clean.

Friday the 24th drops off. The morning is a write-off with 4ft and cross-off wind, but the afternoon glasss off with a gentle offshore, 4ft SW swell. It’s small, but if you’ve got a log, it’ll be fun.

Saturday the 25th afternoon is a hidden gem. The wind goes glassy, light ESE at 3 mph, with 3ft of SW swell, 13-second period. The energy is weak (392), but for a glassy session on a small day, it’s a treat.

Sunday the 26th is a write-off. Small, weak, and messy. The swell is 2ft with a long 16-second period, but the wind is all over the place. The energy is weak (426). Not worth paddling out.

Monday the 27th morning is a big swing. The swell jumps to 7ft, SW, 14 seconds, with a light SE cross-off breeze. The energy is strong at 1822. This is for experienced surfers only. It’ll be powerful and clean, but the size is no joke. Afternoon sees a slight drop in quality as the wind turns cross-shore.

Tuesday the 28th afternoon is another beauty. Clean conditions, light SE wind, 6ft SW swell, 14-second period, and the energy is a solid 1367. Excellent for experienced surfers, and the crowd might be around since it’s consistent.

Wednesday the 29th has a bit of a drop in size to 4ft, but the period is a very long 18 seconds. That’s a groundswell that’ll wrap around. The morning is clean with a cross-off wind, but the afternoon gets a light cross-on that’ll mess up the face. The energy is still moderate (1045).

Now, the real highlight of the whole run is Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning is absolutely pumping. We’re looking at 12ft of WSW groundswell, 16-second period, and a clean ESE offshore wind. The combined energy is a massive 6737. This is exceptional, expert-only stuff. The wave quality will be insane, but if you’re not a charger, stay on the beach. The power and size are for the brave.

The morning of Thursday the 6th of August is still solid, dropping to 8ft from the SW, 14 seconds, with a light offshore breeze and strong energy (2484). Excellent for experienced surfers, but by afternoon the wind turns cross-shore and spoils it.

Overall, the best on offer is the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August for the big, clean, powerful groundswell. The second best is the afternoon of Thursday the 23rd of July for a solid, clean, excellent session that’s more accessible for the experienced crowd.

Rusty out.
