The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, mate, let’s be straight with each other. The next couple of weeks at Coragi are looking more like a waiting game than a full-on session. The swell is hanging around, but it’s mostly small and the real quality is hard to come by. The combined energy of the swells is mostly in the moderate range, but the conditions are a real mixed bag.
The first real chance of a decent wave doesn't come until late. Up until then, it’s a lot of small, ordinary surf with onshore winds or poor conditions. The water temp is sitting at a mild 78°, which is pretty much average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout moment, and the one you’ll want to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Saturday, 1 August. The wind is glassy, barely a breath from the ENE, and the swell is a solid 3 ft from the south with a very long period of 17 seconds. The energy is ramping up strong, which is the most we’ve seen in the whole forecast. This is a proper groundswell, and while it’s going to be clean and powerful, that long period can make it a bit wonky on a beach break – it might run a bit straight. For a reef like Coragi, it’ll be a treat. It’s a bit of a long wait, but that morning is the pick of the bunch.
Sunday the 19th and the afternoon of Thursday the 23rd also offer clean conditions with offshore winds, but the swell is smaller, around 3 ft to 4 ft. The Sunday morning, with a light north wind, gives you a 4 ft south swell at 7 seconds, which is short-period and a bit weak, but it’s clean. The Thursday afternoon is better with a 3 ft south swell at 11 seconds and a gentle offshore.
For the rest of the time, it’s a lot of ‘surfable but ordinary’ conditions. The crowds are listed as ‘sometimes’, so you might have a few out, but with the size of the swell, it won’t be a circus. On the 18th, the swell jumps to 5 ft from the SSE, but with a period of just 8 seconds and onshore wind, it’s going to be a poor, chopped-up mess. After that, it’s a long stretch of small, clean but weak waves, and then a few glassy mornings at the end of July, but the swell is tiny, down to 1.0 ft or 1 ft, which is hardly worth the paddle.
The second week from the 21st onward is a lot of the same – small, clean, but weak. The last couple of days of July are a write-off, with tiny glassy waves, but that 1st of August morning is the one. It’s a long way out, but it’s got promise.
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.
