The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here with the lowdown.
The first few days are small but clean, so you’ll get wet if you want. The real gold is a bit further out, so don’t pack your gear away just yet.
Coragi is the only break on the radar. It’s a reef that works best with swell from south-southeast to south-southwest. Water temp is 82°F with an anomaly of 1°F – pretty average for this time of year, nothing wild.
Sunday 23rd August starts off with a clean 3ft swell from the SSW at 11 seconds. Combined energy is 224 – moderate. Offshore winds from the NNE keep it glassy in the morning and clean all day. Crowds are sometimes a thing, but with these waves, you’ll have room to move.
Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th drop off. Swell goes to 3-3ft with shorter 8-10 second periods and energy in the 90-148 range – weak to moderate. Wind stays offshore but picks up Tuesday to 19 mph, making it a bit of a grind. Not worth getting excited about.
Wednesday 26th brings a spike: 8ft from the SE at 10 seconds, combined energy of 1077 (strong). But the wind turns east then cross-shore, plus there’s a risk of thunderstorms and rain. That size is expert-only and the conditions are messy. Kite surfers might be stoked.
Thursday 27th is glassy with 4ft swell but only 8 seconds – short period and weak energy (195). Clean though, so if you want a quiet session on a grovel board, go for it.
Friday 28th is tiny – 2-2ft with offshore wind. The afternoon has a 16-second period, so some long-period energy, but it’s just too small.
Now the good stuff. Saturday 29th August picks up: 3ft SSW at 15 seconds, combined energy 422 (moderate), clean offshore winds. That long period will give you proper shape on the reef.
Sunday 30th and Monday 31st August are the standouts. Swell holds at 4ft from the SSW with a 16-second period (very long period groundswell). Combined energy hits 765 and 806 – strong. Winds are light offshore or near calm. The conditions are clean, the direction is right for the reef, and it’s consistent. This is your window. Crowds are possible but worth it.
After that, it settles back to 2-3ft through early September. Winds stay favourable but energy drops into the 100-250 range. Nothing special, but there’ll be fun waves for small-wave gear.
The second week is quiet. Swell runs 2-3ft from the SSE at 9 seconds through the first few days, with low energy (107-148). Sunday 6th and Monday 7th September are clean again but small and weak – not much punch.
The standout is Sunday 30th and Monday 31st August – that long-period SSW groundswell with light winds is the one to circle. Everything else is small to moderate, but mostly clean.
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.
