The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
Same story, different numbers. The first week is small and ordinary, but the second week brings some real quality.
Coragi is the only spot in the frame. A reef break, exposed to the south-southeast, and it’s about average for water temp this time of year.
Friday the 17th kicks off with tiny 1ft waves from the SSW, a moderate offshore breeze from the NNE, but the energy is weak. Friday afternoon is a write-off with poor conditions.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are a mixed bag. Saturday afternoon sees a bump to 4ft, but it’s a short-period, choppy windswell from the SSE with cross-onshore wind. Not good. Sunday morning is glassy but only 3ft with a weak 7-second period. The afternoon is better with a 13-second period, but the size drops to 3ft.
Monday the 20th through to the 29th is a long run of small, clean, but ordinary surf. Swell sits between 2ft and 3ft, mostly from the south. Winds are often offshore or glassy. The combined energy is weak to moderate (between 100 and 200). You can get a few longboard waves, but nothing to drive for.
Then it wakes up. Thursday the 30th of July is the first real standout. The morning brings 3ft from the south with a 15-second period and a moderate offshore breeze. Energy is moderate at 363. The afternoon gets even better – 3ft from the SSW, 15-second period, and a strong offshore wind. Energy jumps to 455 (moderate-to-strong). The long period is perfect for this reef, and it’ll be clean and lined up.
Friday the 31st of July is the best of the bunch. The morning delivers 3ft from the south at 13 seconds, light offshore wind, and energy of 395. The afternoon is glassy, same size, same period, same clean quality. This is the session to be in the water for.
Saturday the 1st of August finishes it off with a glassy morning, 3ft from the SSW at 12 seconds, and energy of 290. Clean and fun.
Best on offer: The afternoon of Thursday the 30th of July and all day Friday the 31st of July are the clear winners. The swell is small but punchy, the period is long, and the wind is either offshore or glassy. The waves will be clean, lined up, and fun. Crowds are only “sometimes,” so you’ll have room to move.
Swell never gets over 5ft, so it’s fine for everyone, and the quality will be there for the experienced crew too.
Rusty out.

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.
