Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at the coming weeks for Coragi. This reef break is exposed to the south, and the optimum direction is SSE, so it needs the right angle to fire. The water’s sitting at 82°, which is about average for this time of year, so not much to write home about there.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first proper session worth getting excited about rolls in on Thursday morning, the 27th of August. A clean 5ft swell from the SSW, with a moderate offshore breeze from the NNE—that’s a good combo for a reef. Wave energy is moderate (238), and it’s coming in with a period of 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit short-period, but the conditions should be tidy. That morning is your best early call.

The real standout, though, is over the weekend. Sunday the 30th of August is a cracker. You’ve got a solid 4ft swell from the SSW, but the period jumps to 15 seconds—that’s a proper groundswell, long and powerful. Wave energy is strong (722 to 802). Winds are light to moderate offshore from the NNE, keeping the surface glassy. This is the pick of the whole window for Coragi. It’s an advanced reef, so big-wave beginners should stay out of the way, but for anyone with a bit of skill, this is gonna be fun.

Saturday morning the 29th is also good, with clean 3ft SSW swell and a long 16-second period, light offshore—just a bit smaller than Sunday. Still worth a paddle.

After Monday, things ease off. There’s still some clean, smaller surf through the first few days of September, but nothing that’ll blow your mind. From around the 5th of September onward, the swell drops away, and we get a string of days with poor to ordinary surf. There’s a gap with no real recommendations from about the 5th to the 9th of September, just small, weak energy and ordinary conditions.

To sum it up: Thursday morning 27th is a solid warm-up, but Sunday the 30th of August is the day—strong, clean, long-period groundswell at Coragi with offshore wind. Get on it.
