The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what the ocean's got cookin' for us at one spot over the next couple of weeks. Let's get straight into it.
We've only got one break on the radar for this period, and honestly, the first few days are a bit of a slow starter. The real magic doesn't start to build until the back half of next week.
For the here and now, Sunday the 23rd of August afternoon is a nice little warm-up, with clean 3ft waves coming out of the SSW, an 11-second period, and a light NNE offshore breeze. The water is sitting at a balmy 82°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year. Wave energy is moderate at 236.
Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th stay clean with the offshore wind, but the swell drops off and gets a bit weaker, with periods shrinking to 8 or 9 seconds. It's surfable but nothing to write home about.
Things get a bit tricky on the 26th of August. A bit of a pulse of energy comes through with 8ft swell from the SSE, but the wind goes cross-shore and we've got a risk of thunderstorms. The wave energy ramps up hard to a very strong 904, but the setup is messy. This is more of a "if you're desperate" situation, and at that height, it's really only one for the experienced crew.
Thursday the 27th is our first real moment of glass. The wind goes totally flat, and the ocean goes glassy. The swell is only around the 4ft mark, so it's clean but a bit ordinary.
Now, that brings us to the standout window. Starting the morning of Saturday the 29th of August, we see a beautiful shift. A 3ft SSW groundswell rolls in with a long 16-second period and gentle offshore winds. Wave energy climbs to a solid 427. This is where it starts to get good.
But the absolute peak, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Sunday the 30th of August and into Monday the 31st of August. We've got 4ft of clean SSW groundswell, a dreamy 16-second period, and persistent offshore winds. Wave energy is pumping at a very strong 778 and 680. This is high-quality, clean, long-period groundswell. Keep in mind, with that kind of period, Coragi, being a reef break, will really shine. The sets will be clean and the paddling out will be easy between the long lulls.
After that window, things taper off through the first few days of September, dropping to smaller, more ordinary surf by Wednesday and Thursday. The final weekend (September 6-7) sees a return of offshore wind but the swell is tiny, with weak wave energy around 67-98. It's pretty much a flat spell to end the forecast period.
So, to sum it up: The early week is just a warm-up. The real deal is that window from Saturday the 29th of August through to Monday the 31st. The Sunday morning of the 30th is the pick of the bunch for clean, lined-up waves at Coragi.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Coragi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coragi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coragi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coragi 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 (Coragi) 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 Coragi 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.
