The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's comin' our way.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start to this forecast window, but don’t let that fool you. The first real action worth paddling out for hits early on, then we’ve got a long, quiet stretch before a proper standout window opens up right at the end of the period.
The week starts off with a bit of promise on Wednesday, August 19th. Coragi is seeing a solid 5ft of SSW groundswell, with a long 15-second period pushing in. The combined energy is moderate at 928, and with a gentle cross-off breeze, it’s cleaning up nicely. That Wednesday morning session is your best bet early on – clean lines, decent power, and that reef will be working. It’s a spot for advanced surfers, and with crowds only sometimes, you might get a few to yourself.
After that, things drop right off. From Thursday the 20th right through to the end of August, the swell fades and the quality goes with it. We’re looking at a string of days with small, weak surf – mostly under 3ft – and short, choppy periods. There’s a bit of offshore wind here and there, but the energy is just too low to get excited about. You’re lookin’ at a solid week or more of flat to marginal conditions. It’s the kind of spell where you’re better off waiting for the next system.
Then, hold onto your board, because the real standout arrives on Tuesday, September 1st. This is the one. A pulse of 10ft SE swell slams in with a combined energy of 1305 – that’s strong, powerful stuff. The period is a modest 9 seconds, so it won’t be the cleanest groundswell, but the size and energy are undeniable. The real magic? Glassy conditions. WNW winds at just 3 mph. That’s dead flat, perfect conditions for a reef break like Coragi. This is expert territory – 10ft waves at a reef are no joke – but for those with the skills, it’s gonna be absolutely firing. The morning looks best, but the afternoon holds at 6ft with the same glassy vibe.
So, the call is simple: wait out the dry spell, and be ready for that first day of September. It’s a long way off, but it’s lookin’ like a proper session.
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.
