The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breakin’ it down in feet and degrees for those of you who think in inches.
We’re lookin’ at one spot, and one spot only: Coragi. It’s a reef break, strictly for the advanced crowd. Very consistent, so it’ll be there, but it’s exposed and can bite you. Water temp’s sittin’ around 81°F, which is dead average for the season.
It’s a slow burn right now. Friday the 7th has a weak 2ft S swell, but it’s just ordinary. Not worth the hassle.
Saturday the 8th is where you start. Clean 3ft S swell with a gentle offshore breeze out of the NE in the morning. The energy’s moderate (279), with an 11-second period. It’ll be clean, but you won’t be alone.
Sunday the 9th repeats the trick: another clean 2-3ft S swell with light offshore winds. Fun, small waves.
The big one, the real standout, is the 17th and 18th. Monday the 17th afternoon sees a 3ft SSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, pushin’ strong energy (1037). Light offshore wind from the NE. Those are the kind of conditions that make a reef sing. Then Tuesday the 18th jumps to 4-5ft SSW swell, also long-period at 15 seconds, and strong offshore wind. The energy hits very strong (1143). This is for experienced surfers only – that size and power on a reef is no joke.
Sunday the 16th is a solid lead-in, with 3ft SSW swell and energy already buildin’ strong (712). Clean conditions.
After the 18th, it fades. From the 20th onward, we’re back to 2-3ft S swell with moderate energy. Still rideable, but you’ll be thinkin’ about that mid-month window.
Bottom line: skip the early stuff. The window from the 16th to the 18th is where it’s at, and Tuesday the 18th is the king of the run.
Rusty.

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.
