Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Coragi. This is a solid run of swell, so get your gear ready.

The water is sitting at a warm 83°, which is a good couple of degrees above normal for this time of year. That's a nice little bonus, something you'll feel the moment you paddle out.

The real standout is the weekend of August 30th and 31st. Saturday morning we’ve got a clean 4 ft swell from the SSW, with a long 15-second period, and the wind is glassy offshore from the NNE. The energy is solid, hitting 726 (moderate), and it’s only going to get better. By Sunday morning, the swell holds at 4 ft from the SSW, the period stretches to 16 seconds, and the energy jumps to 790 (strong). The offshore wind is still blowing, so expect clean, long lines. This is where you want to be.

The run-up to that is also good. This Saturday (August 29th) morning we have a clean 3 ft SSW swell, with a very long 16-second period. The wind is a cross-off from the NE, which is still fine, and the energy is moderate at 439. It’s a solid warm-up.

After that peak, the surf softens as we head into next week. Monday (September 1st) morning sees a drop to 3 ft from the SSW, with a 13-second period and a cross-off breeze. The energy falls to 323 (moderate). The weekdays are smaller, with swells around 2 ft to 3 ft, mostly from the SSE, and periods dropping to 9 seconds. The wind is often offshore, so it’s not a total write-off, but it’s ordinary. The combined energy sits below 200 (weak) most of the time, so don't expect much push.

There’s a bit of a dry spell through the middle of the week, with Thursday the 5th and Friday the 6th offering very small, weak SSE swells. The energy drops to 96 (weak) and the wind is variable. It’s a quiet patch.

But look ahead to the second week. We’ve got a promising pulse on September 11th. Friday morning brings a 3 ft SSW swell with an *incredible* 18-second period, pure groundswell. The wind is offshore from the N at 12 mph, and the energy is a strong 862. That’s a proper long-period swell, and it will be excellent at this reef. Just be aware that with a period that long, the sets will be widely spaced, but the shape will be fantastic. That Friday afternoon holds similar quality, with a 3 ft swell and energy of 892 (strong). The standout period here is definitely that Friday and Saturday, September 11th and 12th.

This is a consistent and exposed reef break, best on a SSE swell. The crowds are marked as "sometimes" busy, so expect a few heads out, but it’s well worth the paddle.

Rusty, signing off.
