The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let’s get down to it.
The next couple of weeks are looking a bit slow for proper waves around Coragi. We’ve got a long stretch of average, small surf, but there are a couple of windows that look worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 81° with a slight warm anomaly of 0.5°, so it’s pretty much spot on for this time of year – no surprises there.
We kick things off on Thursday the 6th. It’s clean, sure, but the swell is tiny at 3ft from the SSE with a weak 8-second period. The energy is only moderate (111). Nothing to get excited about. Friday the 7th is even more of a write-off – the swell drops a touch and the wind goes cross-off from the ENE, making it messy. Saturday the 8th is the first real flicker of hope. The swell is still small, 3ft from the S, but the period stretches to 11 seconds. The wind is offshore from the NE, and the energy bumps up to a moderate 267. It’ll be clean, but it’s still pretty average size.
That’s about it for the rest of the first week. Sunday and Monday are just ordinary – you’ll get a wave but nothing that’ll have you scrambling for your board. The wind is offshore, but the swell is down around 2ft and the energy is fading. Tuesday sees a longer period (13 seconds) but the swell drops to 2-2ft, making it pretty marginal.
The middle of the period gets rough. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are poor, with onshore winds and choppy, disorganized conditions. The energy picks up into the 260s, but the quality just isn’t there. The swell direction shifts around, but it’s not helping.
Now, here’s where things start to get interesting. The weekend of the 15th and 16th brings a change. Saturday the 15th is looking good – the swell picks up to 2ft but the period jumps to 16 seconds from the SSW. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon, and the energy climbs to a strong 355, then 377. That’s a proper groundswell signal. It’s still not big, but the conditions will be clean and the set waves will have some push. Sunday the 16th sees the energy jump even higher, hitting 563, but the wind turns onshore from the S and the surf gets messy. It’s going to be a lumpy, challenging day – more for the experienced heads.
The standout of the whole period, though, is the following Tuesday, the 19th of August. That morning, we’re looking at 4ft of swell from the S with a solid 14-second period. The wind is offshore from the NE, and the total energy is strong at 648. This is the pick of the bunch. It’ll be clean, it’ll have some decent size, and the energy is there. This is the one to plan for. Wednesday the 20th also looks decent – a similar 3ft from the SSW with a 13-second period and light offshore flow. The energy is still strong (421). After that, it fades back into the mediocre zone.
So, to sum it up: if you want to get wet, Saturday the 8th is a small but clean option. For the real deal, you’re waiting for Tuesday the 19th. That’s your standout. It’s over a week out, so the forecast could shift, but right now it’s looking like the best surf on offer. Coragi is a reef break, so it holds onto that longer-period south swell better than most. Just keep an eye on the tides.
This is Rusty, signing off. See you in the water.

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.
