The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet for you.
We’re looking at a slow start, but the week ahead is pretty damn good. The first real call is Thursday, August 20th. The main event is a solid, long-period south swell showing up. The water’s about 82°, which is a little warmer than usual for this time of year, but nothing wild.
Thursday afternoon (20th August): Clean 3-4ft from the S with a 13-second period and a cross-off breeze from the ENE. The energy is moderate (469) and the conditions are clean. That’s a great start.
Friday morning (21st): A little smaller at 2-3ft from the SSW, still 12 seconds of period, and clean cross-off wind from the N. Sweet morning session.
Saturday and Sunday (22nd-23rd): A real treat. Clean, offshore NE winds both days, waist-to-chest high sets at 3ft from the SSW. Periods hold at 11-12 seconds. Energy is moderate. Crowds can show up sometimes, but with these conditions, it’s worth it.
Monday and Tuesday (24th-25th): Swell drops, period shortens. Still 2-3ft from the S, but with 8-10 seconds, the quality drops. Winds are still offshore, but the waves are just more ordinary.
Wednesday 26th afternoon: A sneaky little spike. Swell jumps to 4ft from the S with a short 8-second period, but the energy ramps up (239) and it’s clean. Fun, punchy afternoon session.
Thursday 27th to Friday 28th: The surf gets small, then a weird S/SSW groundswell with a 19-second period arrives on the 28th. The period is huge, but the height is tiny (1-2ft) and the wind turns onshore and choppy. That’s a kite day, not a paddle day.
The Standout Window – Saturday 29th to Sunday 30th August: This is the one. A proper SSW groundswell fills in with 3-4ft and a long 15-16 second period. The energy is strong (574 to 718) and the wind is offshore from the N/NNE. Conditions are clean and the wave quality is very good. This is the best of the whole forecast. The long period will make for some proper lines on this reef. Mark your calendar.
Monday 31st August to Tuesday 1st September: The swell eases off, but still clean 3ft from the S/SSW with 13 seconds of period. Moderate energy and clean wind. Good follow-up days.
Wednesday 2nd September onward: The window closes. Swell drops to 2ft, periods get short, and the winds get light and variable. The energy falls right off. By Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th, it’s mostly flat or tiny, choppy, and not worth it.
So, the clear standouts are the Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th of August. That’s the big, clean, offshore groundswell window. The rest of the first week is solid for a fun, clean wave, but that last weekend of August is the one to chase.

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.
