The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The surf’s been a bit quiet around these parts, but there are a few windows where it’s gonna light up. We’re looking at a couple of weeks where you gotta pick your moments.
The first stretch, from the 15th through the 24th, is all about small, clean waves. We’re talking chest-high at best, mostly waist-high. The wind’s mostly offshore, out of the northeast, which is keeping things glassy and tidy. The water’s sitting at a warm 83°F, which is about normal for this time of year – not too shabby.
The standout in this first week is Coragi (Reef). It’s a reef setup, so it handles some swell well. On the 15th and 16th, we’ve got clean surf, with swell coming from the SSW-S direction, face height around 3ft. Nothing big, but it’s clean. The energy is moderate, so there’s some push there.
Then, from the 17th to the 21st, it gets a bit smaller and more ordinary. Still rideable, but not much juice. The period drops, and you’re getting short-period chop. It’s not terrible, but I wouldn’t be rushing out.
Things start to pick back up on the 22nd and 23rd. The swell stays small, but the wind goes glassy, and the tide lines are working. The 23rd afternoon looks sweet – 3ft of clean, glassy surf. That’s worth a paddle.
Now, the real standout comes on the 25th. That’s when the swell jumps up. Friday morning, we’re looking at 6ft of swell, from the SSE. The wind is offshore, out of the NNE, and it’s clean. This is the biggest, best-looking swell of the whole period. The combined energy is strong, and it’s clean. This is the one to circle. That’s your best day, hands down.
The 26th still has size, with 5-6ft in the mix, but the wind swings around to the east and it gets a bit cross-off. It’s still surfable for the experienced crew, but the 25th is the pick.
After that, from the 27th through the 30th, the swell fades back down. The energy is still there, but the period is short and the wind gets tricky, with some cross-shore and even stormy conditions. The 30th has a bit of a pulse again – a 14-second period but only 2ft. It’s clean, but small. Not a big deal.
So, to sum it up: the 25th is the standout, with the 23rd afternoon as a bonus if you want some glassy, clean waves. The rest is mostly small and waiting for the next pulse. Patience, mate.

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.
