Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table.

First off, we're looking at a solid run of surf coming up at Coragi. This is an exposed reef setup, so it needs a decent push of swell to get going, and we've got exactly that. The water is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year, so it's a touch toastier than normal. The first real action kicks off Sunday morning, September 13th, with a clean 2ft swell out of the SE, and a period of 11 seconds. That's a nice little groundswell, and with a light cross-off breeze, it'll be clean and inviting. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 242, so there's some push behind it. This carries through the afternoon with a glassy, offshore wind. Monday and Tuesday keep the same vibe: clean, offshore winds, and the swell hangs in the 2ft to 3ft range, with periods stretching out to 15 and 18 seconds. That longer period means the waves will have some real shape and power, but at a beach break it can sometimes run a bit straight. Here at a reef, it's likely to line up nicely. The combined energy peaks on Tuesday morning at 418, which is solidly moderate. This stretch from Sunday through to Wednesday afternoon is the real sweet spot. Wednesday sees a slight drop in energy, but still clean and offshore.

Now, the standout. You have to look at Wednesday, September 23rd. That morning we get a jump to 7ft from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 730, which is strong. This is a bigger, punchier swell, and with a consistent offshore breeze, it'll be firing. This is expert territory, though – 7ft on a reef is no joke for the faint-hearted. The afternoon drops a bit to 6ft, still very solid. That Wednesday is the clear highlight.

After that, the swell drops back to the 3ft to 3ft range through the rest of the week and into the following weekend. The wind stays favourable, mostly offshore, so the quality remains. The combined energy sits in the moderate range, around 300 to 375. The last few days, from the 26th onwards, get a bit sketchy. Saturday afternoon brings a cross-onshore breeze and a risk of thunderstorms, and Sunday looks messy with onshore winds. Monday the 28th is a write-off with a fresh cross-onshore and lumpy conditions.

Overall, the first week is the go. If you're an experienced surfer, don't miss that Wednesday the 23rd. For everyone else, the Sunday to Tuesday window is pure gold. The second week has a few decent days, but nothing that stands out like that mid-week pulse. This is a solid run for the area – it doesn't stay flat for long here.

Rusty.
