The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and knots.
First up, we got a bit of a wait. The surf doesn’t show up proper until the 18th, so don’t rush out before then – it’s gonna be small and ordinary. Water temp is about 78°, which is average for the season.
The real standout is Saturday morning, the 18th. We’re looking at a 2ft swell from the S, with a 15-second period. That’s long-period groundswell, lots of energy. The combined energy reads 302 (moderate). Best part? The wind is glassy. Dead flat. That’s rare at Coragi, a very consistent reef break that’s advanced. The swell direction is SSE, perfect for this spot. You’ll get clean, long lines. It can get crowded sometimes, so be early. That’s the session to aim for.
Sunday the 19th keeps it clean, with 2ft to 3ft S swell and light offshore breezes in the afternoon. Monday the 20th morning has a 3ft S swell with a moderate offshore wind – still good, but not glassy.
From Tuesday the 21st onward, the energy fades. Swell drops to 2ft to 3ft, period shortens, and winds turn cross-off or cross-on. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The 29th and 30th see a spike in energy (310 on the 29th morning) but the wind goes onshore, making it messy. Skip those.
Bottom line: Saturday the 18th morning is your best bet. The rest is just filler.
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.
