Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

We’ve got one spot on the radar for the next 16 days, and it’s a proper little gem if you time it right. The first real window opens up on Saturday, August 29th, and the quality builds from there.

The standout is Coragi (reef break). It’s a consistent, exposed reef that handles a south-southeast swell beautifully. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is about 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the balmy side.

Now, the best on offer is Sunday, August 30th. We’ve got a solid pulse of 4ft SSW groundswell, with a long period of 15 seconds – that’s proper energy, and the combined energy (726) is moderate. But the real kicker is the wind. All day Sunday, it’s a true offshore from the north-northeast, 9 to 12 mph. That’s going to groom the reef to perfection. Expect clean, rippable walls. This is the pick of the fortnight. It’s an advanced wave, so leave the beginners on the beach.

Monday, August 31st, holds up nicely too, with a similar 4ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and solid offshore winds. The combined energy is still in the moderate range (623). It’ll be a bit smaller than Sunday, but still well worth the paddle out. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

The week after that, things drop off. From Tuesday, September 1st, through to the end of the first week, we’re looking at smaller swells, mostly 3ft to 3ft from the south-southeast, with shorter periods around 9-12 seconds. The winds hold offshore for the most part, but the energy weakens. The combined energy dips into the low 100s and then the 90s by the following weekend. Surfable, but ordinary.

We hit a real lull from Monday, September 7th, through to Thursday, September 10th. The swell drops to 2ft - 2ft, and the combined energy plummets into the 50s and 70s. That’s weak. There’s a glassy morning on Tuesday, September 8th, and another on Wednesday, September 9th, but the waves just aren’t there. Not worth the wetty.

The forecast gets a bit wild around Thursday, September 10th, with a risk of thunderstorms and strong winds, but it’s not producing any decent surf. The conditions are poor.

There’s a slight flicker of hope on the final day, Sunday, September 13th, with a 2ft SSW swell, a 14-second period, and light offshore winds. The combined energy picks up to 224. It’s a far cry from the weekend that was, but it’s a clean, small wave for the patient surfer.

So, to sum it up: the 16-day window offers one true standout – Sunday, August 30th at Coragi. It’s a ripper. The rest of the run is a mix of small, ordinary days and a big lull in the middle. Don’t sleep on that Sunday.
