The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The main show is Coragi – a steady, exposed reef that’s about to get a nice stretch of clean offshore wind and a decent swell pulse before it fades. You’ll need to wait a day for the best of it, but when it arrives, it’ll be worth the paddle out.
Starting Saturday morning, August 29th. Waves around 3ft from the SSW, but the periods are long at 16 seconds. The energy is moderate (463), and with a cross-offshore breeze from the NE, it’s looking clean. By the afternoon, the wind goes straight offshore from the NNE, so those lines will be real tidy. A good warm-up, but not the peak.
Sunday August 30th is the standout. Swell pushes to 4ft from the SSW, periods holding strong at 15-16 seconds, and the energy climbs into a solid range (726-790). A steady 12 mph offshore wind from the NNE all day. Water temps are pretty average for the time of year. This is the session to aim for – Coragi will have power, shape, and glassy conditions. It’s an advanced reef break, and with this long-period groundswell, it’ll wrap in beautifully.
Monday August 31st still looks good – 3-4ft SSW, solid period, mostly offshore or cross-offshore wind keeping it clean. Not quite the punch of Sunday, but still a very worthwhile day.
Things ease after that. Tuesday September 1st is smaller, around 2-3ft, with clean conditions but the energy fading. Wednesday through Friday of the first week of September stay small – 2-3ft from the S and SSE – but the wind is still favorable. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Periods drop to 9 seconds by Thursday, so the waves are weak and lack push.
The second week is a slow grind. From Saturday September 5th through Thursday September 10th, it’s mostly 2-3ft from the SSE or SE, periods sitting around 9-10 seconds. Winds are offshore or clean, but the energy is low – often below 150, and some sessions barely hit 100. A quiet stretch. A couple of days in there (September 8th and 9th) have poor wind, with onshore or cross-shore, so skip those.
There’s a little blip of life on Friday September 11th – a 2ft SE swell with period bumping up to 11 seconds, and light offshore wind. Energy comes up to 188, so it’s a noticeable step up. Saturday September 12th starts glassy but with only 2ft, not much power.
The real possible return is Sunday September 13th – that’s your long-range hope. Clean 2ft from the SSW, but the period jumps to 14 seconds, and the energy hits 286. Glassy, offshore wind in the morning. It’s more than a week out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s promising.
Bottom line: lock in Sunday August 30th. That’s the clear winner. The following week is mostly flat to weak, but there’s a glimmer of a rebuild toward Sunday September 13th.

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.
