Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s a small window of decent clean surf to kick things off before a long, flat patch sets in. The good news is the water is sitting at a warm 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.

The first real action is at Coragi, a reef break that takes a south-southeast swell. Monday morning, July 20th, is your best bet early on. We’re looking at a clean 3ft of south swell, with a nice 12-second period. The wind is blowing a moderate offshore from the north-northeast, keeping the faces tidy. The combined energy is moderate at 232, so there’s some push behind it. This is a spot that works best for experienced surfers, and it can get a crowd sometimes, so be ready to share. The swell direction is a solid match for the break.

Monday afternoon, the wind swings a bit cross-offshore and the quality drops right off. Tuesday and Wednesday see similar small, clean but marginal surf. The standout session is actually Wednesday morning, July 22nd. The swell bumps up just a touch to 3ft from the south-southwest, with a 10-second period, and the wind is a near-glasslike cross-offshore from the east-northeast at only 5 km/h. The energy is moderate at 258. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and fun for a few hours.

After Thursday, it gets grim. From Friday, July 24th, right through to the end of the month, the swell drops and the energy fades into the weak double digits. We’re talking 3ft or less, with periods dropping to 8 seconds and below. The wind stays offshore, but the waves just don’t have any life. This is a proper gap of about 8 days with nothing really worth paddling out for.

There’s a flicker of hope on Friday, August 1st. A small 2ft south swell shows up with a long 12-second period, bringing moderate energy of 151, but the conditions are still just ordinary. The real recovery might be on Sunday, August 2nd. The morning sees a 3ft south swell, 8-second period, with light east-northeast cross-offshore winds. The energy is a solid 200. It’s the most promising wave size we’ve seen in a week, but it’s still a windswell, so don’t expect perfection. This one is a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.

Overall, grab the early mornings and that Wednesday morning if you can. The rest is a waiting game.
