Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here, and I've got the lowdown on the local surf scene. We're looking at a solid run of clean, rideable waves coming up, but you've gotta be an advanced surfer to handle the main break. The standout spot is Coragi (reef). The water’s sitting at a pretty normal 77° for this time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit.

The real action kicks off right now. This Sunday afternoon, we've got a solid 4ft swell from the south with a moderate 14-second period, packing a strong energy reading of 555. The wind is blowing offshore from the NE, so expect clean, lined-up sets. This is the best on offer. The wave energy is strong (555), and the wind is off, so this is going to be a ripper.

Monday the 13th hangs in there, but the swell eases back to 3ft in the morning. Still offshore though, so it’ll be clean. The energy drops a bit but is still moderate (386). Tuesday the 14th sees the swell drop further to 2ft, but the wind stays offshore, keeping it clean. The energy dips to 188, so it’s more of a fun-sized wave.

By Wednesday the 15th, we’re down to 2ft to 2ft. The wind is still offshore, but the energy is getting weak, around 132 to 162. It’s surfable but ordinary. Thursday the 16th brings a shift—a 1ft swell from the SSW with a very long 19-second period. The energy is moderate (213). This long-period groundswell will be breaking a bit straight on the reef, but it’s clean with a gentle offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (213).

Friday the 17th is similar, with a 1ft to 2ft swell and a still-long 16-second period. Energy is down to 157. The wind goes cross-offshore in the afternoon, so it’s still clean. Saturday the 18th is a write-off. The wind goes onshore and cross-onshore, so we’re looking at poor conditions. Skip it.

Now, here’s a little nugget. Sunday the 19th, we get a glassy morning with 3ft swell from the SSW at 13 seconds. The energy is moderate (252). That'll be a fun, clean session. Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd sees a consistent 3ft to 3ft swell from the south, with the wind holding offshore. The energy stays in the moderate range (193 to 332). Good, consistent waves.

The swell drops off from Thursday the 23rd onward. Thursday the 24th has a 2ft swell with a short 9-second period, which means weaker, less organized waves. The energy is weak (100). From Friday the 25th, the swell is tiny at 2ft to 2ft, with weak energy (69 to 93). The best window is the glassy sessions on Saturday the 25th afternoon and Sunday the 26th afternoon, but it’s really small.

Then, look at this. Monday the 27th rolls around with a 2ft swell from the south, but with a very long 14-second period, and the energy jumps back up to 311. The wind goes glassy. That late in the forecast, it's a promising sign, but a long way out.

The bottom line is: today is the standout. Get out there Sunday afternoon for the best of it. The rest of the first week is clean and fun. The second week is small and weak, but keep an eye on that glassy Monday the 27th.

Rusty.
