Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the Coragi region over the next couple of weeks.

First up, we’ve got a solid run starting this Wednesday morning. The water is sitting at 83°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than what you’d normally expect at this time of year – nothing crazy, but it’s a nice little bonus. We’re looking at a consistent 5ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period wrapping into the reef at Coragi. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading is a solid 928, so there’s plenty of push. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze, which will keep the faces clean. This is your standout session for the whole outlook – Wednesday morning and afternoon are both looking excellent. The swell direction is right in the sweet spot for this break, and with the reef handling that long period, you’re in for some well-shaped, powerful lines. Just a heads up, it’s an advanced spot and it can get crowded sometimes, so bring your A-game and expect company.

Thursday sees the swell drop a touch to 4ft, still with a clean cross-off breeze, but the energy is down to 543. It’s still surfable and clean, but not the same quality as Wednesday. Friday and Saturday mornings are looking good with clean offshore winds and 3ft to 3ft of S/SSW swell. The period is a bit shorter at 11-12 seconds, so the waves will be a bit more manageable, but still fun. There’s a gap from Sunday afternoon through to Monday afternoon where the surf gets pretty ordinary – the swell is small and the period drops to 9 seconds, plus the wind picks up. It’s not great, and by Tuesday the wind is howling at 19-22 mph, making it a write-off.

Then we hit a bit of a lull. Wednesday the 26th has a pulse of 7ft S swell, but it’s coming with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-shore wind, so the quality is poor. That’s more of a messy, blown-out day for experts only, and honestly, the beach break setup might be more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfers. After that, Thursday and Friday morning are small and clean but weak.

Now, look out for Saturday the 29th. That’s your next real highlight – a clean 3ft SSW swell with a lovely long 15-second period again. The energy is back up to 408, and with a moderate offshore breeze, it’s going to be clean and lined up. That’s a promising session, but it’s over a week away, so lock it in but keep an eye on the forecasts. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 1st of September are also looking clean and fun with similar swell, though the energy drops a bit. The second week tails off into smaller, weaker surf with afternoon onshore winds creeping in, and by the 3rd of September it’s a write-off with a risk of thunderstorms and a messy onshore wind.

So, the short story: Wednesday morning (19th August) is your absolute best bet – clean, solid, long-period groundswell with perfect wind. If you’re planning ahead, Saturday the 29th is a promising second standout, but it’s a ways out. The rest of the run is a mix of small, clean sessions and some ordinary, windy days.

Stay stoked, and I’ll see you in the water.

Rusty.
