Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up. The good news is there’s surf on offer right through the next 16 days, but it’s a bit of a slow-burner. The first real standout doesn’t show until the weekend, but from there, it’s looking promising.

We start off pretty average. Saturday morning, the 18th of July, is a write-off. The swell is a weak 2ft southerly, short period of 15 seconds, but the wind is a cross-on from the south, making it messy. The combined energy is 297 (moderate), which is about all the good news.

Sunday the 19th is where it starts to get interesting. The wind swings to a light offshore from the NNE, and the swell bumps up a touch. Sunday morning has 1.6ft of S swell at 13 seconds, but by the afternoon it’s cleaner with 2.6ft SSW swell. The energy is 302 (moderate). This is the first real window of clean surf. The water temp is 77.4°, which is about 1.1° cooler than normal for this time of year, so nothing unusual.

Monday the 20th is very similar – clean, offshore NNE wind around 12 mph, with a consistent 2.6ft S swell at 12 seconds. The combined energy is 222-231 (moderate). The wind is moderate offshore, so the waves will be clean. This is a solid, fun day.

Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd drop off a little. The swell stays small, around 2.3ft-2.6ft, and the period shortens to 11 seconds. The wind is offshore or cross-off, so it’s still clean, but there’s less energy. The combined energy drops to 129-189 (weak to moderate). These are surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Thursday the 23rd is a little better. A moderate offshore NNE wind and 2.6ft S swell at 11 seconds, with energy climbing back to 212 (moderate). The conditions are clean, and the wave quality is rated as good.

Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are very small and clean. The wind is glassy or light, with swell around 2.3ft-2.6ft at 9-10 seconds. Energy is very low, 105-128 (weak). This is more of a longboard or small-wave day.

Sunday the 26th holds up with 2.6ft SSE swell at 8 seconds, with a light offshore wind from the north in the afternoon. Energy is 93 (weak). It’s clean, but small.

Then we hit a dry spell. From Monday the 27th through to Thursday the 30th of July, the surf is poor. The swell drops to 1.3ft-2.6ft, periods are short (6-8 seconds), and the wind is either onshore or cross-off. The combined energy plummets to 12-80 (weak). This is a gap of about four days with no real recommendations.

The real standout comes at the end of the period. Friday the 31st of July shows a glimmer, but it’s Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd of August that are the best on offer. The swell picks up to 2.3ft from the south, with a period of 12 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 248-280 (moderate). The wind is light offshore or glassy. This is going to be clean, lined-up, and fun. The optimum swell direction for Coragi is SSE, so this southerly swell is a good match. It’s a reef break, so it’s for advanced surfers, but with these conditions, it’ll be quality. Crowds are possible, so get there early.

So, if you’re waiting, hold out for the first weekend of August. That’s the pick of the run.
