The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Alright, look. We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead at Coragi, a reef break that’s exposed to the southerly swell. The water temp is sitting at 78°F which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The overall pattern is clean, offshore winds holding on for most of this week, with the swell dropping off a cliff towards the end of the month before a new pulse kicks in for the start of August.
The best of the bunch is the Sunday morning session on the 19th of July. It’s not huge, with 3ft of S swell, but that solid 7 second period is backed by a moderate combined energy of 234. The wind is glassy and off the land from the NNE, blowing offshore at just 6 mph. That’s going to leave the reef looking clean as a whistle. A nice, long, mellow session on the cards.
Moving into Monday and Tuesday the 20th and 21st, the wind stays offshore, but the swell drops a touch to 3ft. The period stretches out to 12 seconds on Monday, which is a nice groundswell, meaning the waves will have a bit more shape and push, and the sets will be more spaced out. The energy is still moderate, sitting around 232. Tuesday morning the wind shifts to a cross-offshore, which is still rideable, just not as perfect.
From Wednesday the 22nd through to Saturday the 26th, we’re looking at the same 3ft swell, but the period drops down to 10 seconds and then 9 seconds, so the waves will be a bit weaker. The wind is a real mixed bag of glassy conditions and cross-offshore breezes. The energy drops from 222 down to 95 by Sunday, so it’s going to get smaller and weaker as the days go by.
Then we hit a bad patch. Monday the 27th through to Wednesday the 30th of July, the swell bottoms out. We’re looking at 1ft to 2ft of weak, short-period junk. The energy is down in the double digits, as low as 37. This is a real low point, and honestly, I wouldn’t bother paddling out. It’s essentially flat for about four days.
But hold on. The forecast shows a bit of a revival on the 31st of July. The swell jolts back to life with a 2ft S swell but a very long 14 second period. The energy is back up to 133. The wind is offshore and steady. It’s small, but it’s got that long, clean energy that reef breaks love. It’s a promising sign.
Then the standout of the entire outlook is the first weekend of August. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd see a proper pulse of swell. The swell height jumps to 5ft from the S with a decent 8-second period. The combined energy hits a strong 351 on Saturday morning. The wind is calm and glassy on Sunday morning, with the ESE at 0 mph. That’s going to be the best, cleanest, most powerful surf of the whole 16 days. It’s still a beach and reef setup, so the long period groundswell might make it a bit straight at times, but with that wind, it’s a no-brainer.
So to wrap it up: the best is the first weekend of August, especially Sunday the 2nd morning. The best of the first week is Sunday the 19th of July. There’s a dead patch from the 27th to the 30th.
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.
