The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for our stretch of coast. We’re looking at Coragi for the next 16 days, and the first week is a bit of a slow burner. There’s a big gap of nothing special before the real swell shows up.
The water’s sitting at 78°, which is what you’d expect for this time of year.
The first chance to paddle out is Friday the 17th. It’s tiny, with a 1ft to 2ft swell from the SSW/S, but the wind is blowing offshore from the NNE. That’s clean, rideable conditions, even if the energy is weak (144-215). You’ll be scratching for waves, but it’s a start.
Then we hit a quiet patch. Saturday the 18th is a total loss with onshore southerly winds and poor surf. Sunday the 19th is a tease – the swell comes up to 3ft, but the wind turns glassy from the north in the morning and glassy in the afternoon. The period is short (7-13 seconds), so it won’t be perfect, but it’ll be clean. Monday the 20th through Thursday the 24th is a long stretch of small, ordinary surf. The swell hangs around 2ft to 3ft from the south, with mostly offshore or cross-offshore winds, but the energy is weak (107-226). Surfable, but not memorable. Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th are more of the same.
Now, the real standout is the end of July and start of August. We’ve got a long-period groundswell coming in. On Thursday the 30th of July in the afternoon, the wind turns light offshore from the NNE, and the swell hits 2ft from the S with a *very long* 18-second period. The energy is moderate (337). That’s a sign of quality.
The absolute best of the bunch is Friday the 31st of July in the morning. Glassy conditions with a light easterly breeze, and a solid 3ft swell from the SSW with a 15-second period. The energy is pumping at 475 – that’s moderate-to-strong. This is a day where a reef spot like Coragi really comes alive. Long-period groundswell means clean, well-spaced sets. Perfect for the advanced crew. Expect crowds to be a possibility.
Saturday the 1st of August carries that same energy through the morning and afternoon. Clean conditions again with a 3ft SSW swell and 14-second period, and energy levels staying strong (419-438). This is a solid run of surf.
So, if you want the best, circle Friday the 31st of July and Saturday the 1st of August. The first part of the forecast is a long wait for small, ordinary waves, but that late-July groundswell is a beauty. Stay tuned.
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.
