Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a bit of a slow starter, but there’s a real gem waiting for us down the line if you’ve got the patience.

Right now, we’re looking at a stretch of small, clean, but pretty ordinary waves. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing shocking there. The first proper surfable days kick off Saturday the 5th with small 3ft to 3ft SSE swell, but the conditions are just okay. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-off, keeping things tidy, but the wave energy is weak (176 to 141 combined energy), and the period is short at 9 to 10 seconds. It’s the kind of day where you might get a few fun little ones if you’re desperate, but it’s not going to get the heart racing.

Sunday the 6th through Monday the 7th is more of the same – tiny 2ft to 3ft swell, still clean, but the energy is really low, down to 93 at one point. Glassy conditions on Monday afternoon with that 2ft swell and no wind are nice for the soul, but it’s a knee-high affair at best. Tuesday the 8th gets even smaller, dropping to 1ft, though the period jumps to 13 seconds from the SSW. That’s a groundswell pulse, but it’s just too small to do much with.

We go through a bit of a dry spell mid-week. Wednesday the 9th to Friday the 11th morning is still tiny, with 2ft to 2ft swell. The energy is moderate (130 to 160 combined energy), but the size just isn’t there. It’s frustrating – you can see the potential, but the ocean’s holding back.

The turnaround starts Friday the 11th afternoon. That’s when we finally see a proper bump. The swell picks up to 3ft from the SSE with an 11-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 213. The wind is offshore and clean, making for some decent little waves. It’s not a standout, but it’s the first time the forecast feels like it’s got some life.

Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are solid. Consistent 3ft to 3ft SSE swell, 11-second period, and moderate offshore winds (NNE at 9 to 15 mph). The energy is in the 206 to 247 range, so it’s got some push. This is good, clean, fun-size surf. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s a reliable session.

But the real standout is Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 4ft to 4ft S swell rolling in, with a long 15 to 16-second period. The combined energy hits 687 to 709 – that’s strong wave energy, folks. The wind is offshore from the NE at 9 to 12 mph, keeping the surface glassy and clean. Coragi is a reef break, so this long-period groundswell is going to line up beautifully. It’s an advanced wave, so it’s not for the beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is going to be proper. The swell direction is SSE, which matches the optimum for this spot, and the consistency is very consistent. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

The week leading up to that is decent too. Tuesday the 15th through Friday the 18th sees a steady 2ft to 3ft S swell with periods between 12 and 18 seconds. The energy is strong, ranging from 218 to 390. Offshore winds are the theme, so it’s all clean. It’s good, but that weekend of the 19th and 20th is the clear winner.

In short: the first week is a write-off unless you’re on a longboard and just want to get wet. The second week builds nicely, with Friday the 11th afternoon being the first real day to get excited about. But the best on offer is that Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th – that’s the one. Set your alarm.

Rusty.
