Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Coragi.

Right off the bat, Monday the 3rd of August is a bit of a slow start. The water is a warm 79°, which is spot on for this time of year, nothing unusual. We’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW, with a decent 11-second period, but the energy is weak (105). It’s glassy in the morning, which is a treat, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. The afternoon stays clean, but there’s barely any push.

Tuesday stays in the same rut. Tiny 1ft SSW swell, light offshore winds, and the energy is even lower (76). The waves are there, but it’s frustratingly weak.

Wednesday morning the 5th is a write-off. The swell drops to 2ft from the SSE, but the period is a short 8 seconds, and the energy is weak (68). The wind is glassy, but the conditions are poor. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore breeze. Not worth your time.

Thursday the 6th is a little better. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the SSE, still short period (8 seconds), but it’s glassy in the morning and the energy is getting a bit more moderate (102). It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

Now, finally, we get a window. Friday the 7th of August is the first real standout. The swell is 2ft from the S, but the period jumps to 12 seconds, and the energy is solid (238). The wind is offshore from the NNE, which means clean, lined-up waves. It’s a good day for a skilled surfer. The offshore wind holds through Saturday the 8th, with the swell building to 3ft from the S, still that nice 11-second period, and the energy is cranking (254). This is the best of the first week. The water is still warm, the wind is clean, and the waves have some punch. It’s an advanced reef break, so it’s not for everyone, but for those who can handle it, this is the pick.

Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are still clean, but the swell starts to fade. The energy drops, and the waves get smaller. It’s still offshore, but it’s a step down.

Tuesday the 11th of August is worth a mention. The swell is only 2ft, but the period is a long 13 seconds, and the wind is a moderate offshore from the NE. The energy is strong (214). It’s a clean, long-period groundswell, which is beautiful for a reef, but the size is small. A good session for a longboard or a fish.

Wednesday the 12th is a washout with a cross-shore wind and poor conditions. Then Thursday the 13th brings a spike. The swell jumps to 4ft from the S, but with a short 8-second period. The energy is high (264), and it’s clean with glassy conditions in the afternoon. This is a solid, punchy day for the advanced crew, but that short period means the waves might be a bit crumbly and close out on the sets.

The second week gets a bit funky. Friday the 14th has a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW, but with a very long 16-second period. The energy is moderate (194), but the wind is strong in the afternoon, and the swell is just too small to do anything with. Saturday the 15th is glassy, but with the same tiny 1ft swell. It’s a long-period groundswell, but it’s barely breaking.

Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th are poor. The wind is onshore and choppy, ruining the waves. The energy is high (591 on the 17th), but the conditions are garbage. This is more of a kite-surfing situation than a paddle-surfing one.

The real promise, and the late stand-out, is Tuesday the 18th of August. The morning is glassy, with a 3ft swell from the SE, a 12-second period, and very strong energy (525). The conditions look set to be very good. This is a long way out, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s the one to watch. The afternoon holds clean, with a 3ft SSW swell and a 14-second period, and the energy is still strong (490). It’s a promising end to the forecast.

Overall, the first week is a tease. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are your best bets for clean, offshore, fun waves. The second week has a potential cracker on the 18th, but it’s a long wait, and the middle of the week is a mess of onshore wind. Stay patient.

Rusty.
