The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
First things first, the next week and a half is a bit of a waiting game. There’s nothing big or clean firing straight away, but things do start to clean up and push a bit higher towards the end of the first week. We’ve got a real standout window coming up this weekend, so hang tight.
Right now, Wednesday morning, it’s pretty poor. We got a cross-onshore breeze chopping up a weak 5ft SSE swell at Coragi. It’s messy and not worth your time. That afternoon it swings onshore with a bit more energy but it’s still poor.
Thursday morning sees the wind turn offshore, a moderate N breeze, and the swell drops to 3ft from the SW. The surf is clean, but it’s small. The energy is weak. Thursday arvo it’s a bit smaller at 3ft, still offshore, but just ordinary.
Friday stays clean but small. The morning has a short-period 2ft SW swell. That afternoon the period jumps to 16 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell, but there’s not much height to it at 2ft. It’s clean but tiny. The energy kicks up though.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting.
Saturday is looking like a little window. The wind is light offshore from the NE. The swell is 3ft from the SSW with a long 16-second period. The energy is building. It’s clean, glassy-ish, but still on the smaller side. It’s a good sign though.
Sunday, the 30th, that’s your standout. The swell pushes to 4ft from the SSW, with a solid 15-second period. The wind stays light offshore, NE. The energy is strong. This is very good surf for Coragi. It’s clean, it’s got push, and that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. This is the one to circle.
Monday the 31st holds on, but it’s a step down. Still 4ft from the SSW, clean, but the tide might play tricks with you and it’s not as rewarding as Sunday.
After that, it backs right off. Tuesday brings in 3ft, then it fades through the rest of the week into the 2-3ft range. It stays clean with offshore winds, but it's just small and pretty average.
The second week is a write-off, to be honest. From the 4th through the 7th, we’re looking at tiny 3ft or less swells. There is a slight bump on the 8th to 4ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore and the period drops to 6 seconds, which makes for poor, choppy conditions. There’s a moment on the 9th afternoon where it goes glassy, but the swell is only 3ft. Not worth much.
So, really, your one true standout is Sunday, the 30th of August. That’s the day to get out there. There is some promise on Saturday, but Sunday is the cleanest and most powerful of the lot.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
