The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s get into it.

Alright, folks, we’ve got a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks at Coronation Beach. Nothing really firing in the immediate future, but there are a couple of windows that look like they could be special. First up, the water temp is sitting at 68°F with a slight negative anomaly, so pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing to write home about.

The first few days are a bit of a washout. Sunday the 23rd is a write-off with onshore slop and rain – just leave the boards in the car. Monday morning the 24th looks like the first real highlight. We’ve got a clean 7ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period and light offshore winds from the SE. The combined energy is pushing 1760 – moderate but punchy. This is the standout session early on: decent size, long period, and glassy conditions. It’s gonna be a ripper for experienced surfers. Just know it’ll be a bit consistent and might have a crew out, but that’s expected.

Tuesday the 25th morning is another good call – glassy, 5ft SW swell, and light westerly winds. The energy drops to 911, so it’s weaker, but clean and fun for the less experienced crew. The afternoon turns messy with onshore wind.

Mid-week gets bigger but bumpy. Wednesday the 26th morning has 8ft SW swell at 16 seconds – energy is 4071 – but it’s choppy with cross-onshore winds. By the afternoon, it turns into an 12ft monster with onshores – that’s proper big, only for the brave, and probably more of a kite scene than a surf scene.

Thursday the 27th is still big, 10ft SW, but the afternoon cleans up a bit with cross-offshore SSE winds. That late session could be worth a look if you’re experienced, but it’s fresh and lumpy.

After that, we get a bit of a lull. Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th offer small, clean waves but nothing special – 6ft and 3ft respectively. The energy is low.

Now, the next real standout is Sunday the 30th morning. We’ve got clean 6ft SW groundswell at 17 seconds, with offshore ENE wind. Combined energy is 2165 – solid. That’s a proper glassy morning, great for experienced surfers, and the long period means the sets will be well-spaced and powerful. This is your top pick for the first week.

The following week starts to fade. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st have onshore wind and messy conditions. Wednesday the 2nd is poor, with onshores and dropping swell. Thursday the 3rd is a write-off.

Then we get another potential gem. Friday the 4th morning shows a clean 6ft SW swell with light cross-offshore SSE winds. Energy is 1182. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and should offer some fun waves for experienced surfers. Saturday the 5th is a touch bigger at 8ft, but wind stays cross-offshore in the morning – still clean but a bit bigger.

The real monster comes on Monday the 7th of September. We’re looking at a massive 15ft SW swell with a 20-second period – that’s a huge, long-period groundswell. Energy is astronomical, over 13,000. This is for experts only, and even then, Coronation Beach might get too big and ugly. Winds are light in the morning, cross-shore, so there’ll be wind swell chop on top. Honestly, this setup might be more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfers. It’s a solid, promising swell, but you need a reef or point to really handle that size.

So, to sum it up: the best windows are Monday the 24th morning and Sunday the 30th morning, with a dark horse on Friday the 4th of September. Get out there early for the glassy conditions.

Rusty.

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.
