The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming at Coronation Beach over the next two weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of long-period SW groundswell, but the wind is the decider. Mornings are the go-to – clean conditions and decent size. Afternoons get blown out by onshores and cross-shore breezes. There’s a couple of world-class windows for the experienced surfer, and one glassy session that’s pure magic.
Wednesday afternoon the 9th kicks it off: a clean 6ft SW swell, 15-second period, with a fresh offshore breeze. Strong energy (1716). It’s a bit marginal with tide, but the experienced crew will enjoy it.
Thursday the 10th morning is a standout. A 5ft SW groundswell, 15 seconds, with a moderate offshore from the ENE – clean, lined-up surf. Energy is strong at 1070. This is excellent for the experienced surfer. Water temp is 68°, about normal for this time of year.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are no-go with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing it up.
Sunday the 13th morning bounces back. Light cross-offshore breeze, 6ft SW swell at 14 seconds, clean faces. Excellent for the experienced surfer. Energy is moderate at 1142.
Monday the 14th morning is a true standout. Light cross-offshore winds, 7ft SW groundswell at 14 seconds, glassy clean. Energy strong at 1704. This is excellent – get on it.
The middle of the week gets messy, but Thursday the 17th morning delivers another gem. Glassy conditions, 5ft SW swell, 15-second period. Energy moderate at 1020. That’s the second standout window – perfect.
Friday the 18th is a write-off with howling onshores over 18 mph.
Saturday the 19th brings a big pulse: 12ft WSW at 15 seconds, but cross-shore and choppy. Expert-only, and honestly it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that strong cross-shore and huge lumpy energy (9599).
Sunday the 20th morning cleans up with a light cross-offshore, 7ft WSW at 13 seconds, excellent for experienced surfers. Energy strong at 1542.
Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd go downhill with onshores and rain. Wednesday the 23rd morning is clean with a fresh cross-offshore and a big 10ft SW swell – expert water only. Energy very strong at 3880.
Thursday the 24th morning is the last decent chance – moderate cross-offshore, 6ft SW, clean.
The best on offer: Thursday morning the 10th and that glassy Thursday the 17th. Both are clean, solid groundswell, and for the experienced surfer they’re absolute crackers. The bigger days are there for the brave, but only if you’ve got the skills.
That’s the word from the beach. Stay salty.

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.
