The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and it’s the same story but in feet and miles.
For the next 16 days, the only break that’s really on the menu is Coragi, a reef setup that knows how to hold a wave. It’s not a bombing swell window, but there’s a steady pulse and some real clean windows if you pick your sessions right.
The whole run kicks off Friday morning 11 September with a clean little 3ft wave from the SSE, 12-second period, and combined energy of 213 – that’s moderate push. Water temp is 83°, which is 2° warmer than average. Wind is a light cross-offshore from the NE at 15 mph, so that reef face is going to be smooth. Later that afternoon the wind swings full offshore from the NNE at 20 mph and the swell holds around 3ft. Honestly, that Friday is the standout of the first few days – nice shape, clean faces, and the reef will make every set count.
Saturday 12 September drops a little to 3ft, still with a moderate offshore NNE breeze at 20 mph and a combined energy of 178, then 200 in the afternoon. Still clean as a whistle.
Sunday 13 September gives us another beauty – morning offshore NNE breeze at 15 mph, 2ft of SSE swell, and combined energy of 242. That’s proper grunt for the size, and the glide on that reef is going to be sweet.
Monday 14 September throws a curveball: swell drops to 1ft in the morning but the period jacks to 18 seconds – long-period groundswell from the south. Combined energy hits 242, then 306 in the afternoon. That long energy won’t suit a beach break, but on this reef the waves should set up nicely. Wind stays cross-offshore from the ENE, so the face stays clean.
Tuesday 15 September pushes combined energy to 425 and 406 with swell around 3-3ft and periods of 14-15 seconds. Strong energy for the size, but the wave gets a bit more walled. Still doable for advanced surfers.
Wednesday 16 September brings back offshore wind – NNE at 20 mph in the morning, then lightening to 10 mph by afternoon. Swell holds around 3-3ft from the south, 13-second period, combined energy at 342 then 397. That afternoon is going to be glassy.
Thursday 17 September morning goes totally glass – zero wind from the NNW and 2ft of S swell, 12-second period, combined energy 143. Small but serene. That afternoon though, forget it – wind swings SW at 5 mph as a cross-on, period drops to 9 seconds, combined energy crashes to 69. Poor.
From Friday 18 September through to the end, it’s a long run of consistent, clean surf. Heights stay between 2ft and 3ft, mostly from S or SSE, periods between 9 and 16 seconds. Combined energy picks up again – 22 September hits 300 and 325, 23 September pushes 339 and 370. That’s the second real highlight: a solid 3ft pulse from SSW with 13-second period and moderate NNE offshore winds at 25 mph. The reef will be handling that perfectly.
But the absolute top pick is Friday 11 September through Sunday 13 September. That window has the best combo of clean offshore wind, consistent chest-high waves, and moderate combined energy (213-242). The water’s warm, the wind’s your friend, and that reef at Coragi is the spot. It can get a crew there sometimes, but with conditions like this, it’s worth the gamble.
No huge waves here, so it’s about finesse and timing. The long-range stuff around 22-24 September has some punchy energy too – promising, but less certain.
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.
