The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a slow start, but the second half of this 16-day window is shaping up to be a real beauty. Don’t be fooled by the calm beginning; patience is going to pay off.
The first few days are a bit of a tease. We’re looking at some small, clean waves, but nothing to get too excited about. From Friday 7th August through the weekend, Coragi is seeing small S swell around 2ft to 3ft. The wind is light and offshore, which is a treat, but the energy is weak. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. It’s a good time to get the rust off, but not a standout.
The real story begins to build around the middle of next week. Come Thursday 14th August, we start to see a nice pulse of longer-period S swell rolling in, with periods hitting 16 seconds. That’s groundswell, baby. The energy starts climbing, and by the weekend of 15th and 16th August, we’ve got a proper window.
Now, the absolute standout is the Coragi reef. The pick of the entire period is Sunday 16th August. The morning is a bit cross, but the afternoon is pure magic. We’re looking at a 4ft S swell at a very long 16 seconds. The energy is strong, and the wind? Absolutely glassy. Zero wind. That’s a rare, beautiful thing. The swell direction is spot on for this spot, and you’ll be getting some long, clean lines. Conditions for experienced surfers will be excellent.
But hold on, the next day, Monday 17th August, is also a gem. The swell holds at 4ft from the SSW, with a 14-second period, and we’ve got gentle offshore winds. The energy is still massive. It’s a bit smaller than the glass-off day, but the winds are perfect for a morning session.
Then, Tuesday 18th August is the one for the crew who want a bit more size. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, with a very long 15-second period. The energy is a beast. The wind is light and offshore or cross-off. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. It’s getting a bit chunky at 4ft, so beginners might find it a handful, but for the advanced crowd, this is the session to circle.
The conditions start to drop off a bit from Wednesday 19th August, with the swell holding but the winds becoming more cross-off and the energy tapering down. By the end of the week, we’re back to smaller, cleaner conditions. The standout is that Sunday 16th to Tuesday 18th stretch. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty, out.

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.
