The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s coming for this stretch of coast.
It’s a slow start, but don’t pack it in just yet. The real standout is a window that opens up on Thursday, August 1st, with a couple of good sessions before things get small again. The first decent surf shows up on Thursday morning, July 23rd, at Coragi. This is a consistent, exposed reef break that likes a south swell. Early on Thursday, we’ve got a clean 3 ft south swell, with a period of 10 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze from the NNE. The water is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual. The combined energy is moderate (204), and it’s feeling good. That morning session is a solid pick, and the afternoon holds up with similar conditions, just a touch more wind.
Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are still surfable, but the quality drops. The swell drops to 2 ft, and while the wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, it’s not the same power. The energy drops into the low 100s, and it’s more of a “get wet if you’re keen” kind of vibe rather than a standout.
Sunday the 26th through to Wednesday the 30th of July is a bit of a flat spell. The swell gets smaller, period drops, and the wind goes cross-offshore. The combined energy gets weak, dipping into the 50s and 60s. Not much to get excited about there. We have a gap of a few days with no real recommendations.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Thursday, August 1st – that’s the one to circle. The morning is a bit flat with onshore wind, but the afternoon is a gem. We’ve got a 2 ft south swell, 12-second period, and the wind goes *glassy*. That’s right, glassy. The combined energy is strong (230), and it’s going to be clean as a whistle. For a reef break like Coragi, that’s about as good as it gets in this stretch. The longer period means the waves will have more shape and energy, but take note – at a reef, that long-period groundswell will line up nicely. This is the best session on offer.
After that, Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd of August are still surfable, with offshore winds and 2 ft to 2 ft south swell, but the energy is back down. Tuesday the 4th through to Friday the 7th of August stays small and clean, with glassy conditions on a few mornings, but the swell is inconsistent and weak. The energy is moderate but nothing to write home about. It’s more of a longboard or small-craft kind of window.
Overall, the best bet is that Thursday afternoon, August 1st. Everything else is a roll of the dice for smaller, cleaner waves. Keep an eye on the glassy mornings later in the run, but don’t expect much size.
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.
