The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for us around Coragi.
Coragi is a reef break, and it’s an advanced-only setup. We’re looking at a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real promise on the horizon. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
The first few days are pretty flat and ordinary. Wednesday the 5th has a tiny 1.3ft swell from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined swell energy is a weak 56. The wind is glassy in the morning, but the waves are just too small to get excited about.
Thursday the 6th sees a little bump up to 2.3ft to 3ft on the same SSE swell, period still short at 8 seconds. The wind goes glassy again in the afternoon, and the energy ticks up to 160 (moderate), but it’s still only just surfable. Nothing to rush for.
Friday the 7th is where things start to get interesting. The swell shifts to the S, 2.3ft in the morning with a period of 12 seconds, and the energy is a solid 227 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the NE at 15 km/h, keeping things clean. The morning session is the pick of the first few days, but it’s still not a standout.
We’ve got a gap of a few days with nothing truly special until we get to the second week. Saturday the 15th afternoon brings a surprise: glassy conditions, a 2ft swell from the SSW with a period of 14 seconds, and the energy jumps to 243 (moderate). It’s glassy and looks good for a reef break like this.
Now, the real standout is way out there on Wednesday the 19th of August. The morning shows a 4.6ft swell from the S with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 1096 (strong). The wind is offshore from the NNE at 15 km/h, clean as a whistle. This is expert territory at 4.6ft, and with that long period, Coragi’s reef will handle it beautifully. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a week and a half away, so it’s a promising long-range call, but the setup looks like it could be the best of the whole window.
The afternoon of the 19th and the morning of the 20th also look very good, with 4.6ft swell and offshore winds, but the 19th morning is the clear pick.
Overall, the first week is a slow burner, but the second week has a proper standout. Crowds are only sometimes a problem here, so you might have some company, but it’s worth it.

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.
